Mary recently asked a question that has rarely been asked of me.
“What’s your favourite dessert?” After which she said: “because I’ll bake it for you.”
In the heat of the moment my answer was carrot cake with cream cheese icing. And let me tell you that I don’t regret it one bite.
She put me on the spot. That baker lady. My mind was swimming – I LOVE EVERYTHING – but as I gave it more thought I realized there are definitely some baked goods that stand out for me and others that I just don’t feel passionately about at all.
It got me thinking about which I like most. Is there an absolute favourite? Well, no. Not really.
So for future reference (Mary’s and everyone else’s) here’s my attempt to rank baked goods based on my own personal preferences:

Never, no way, nuh-uh:
