Dates Stuffed with Marzipan. It's delicious and easy to do but not easy to restrain yourself from eating it.

- Leftovers or a salad.

My mother's couscous recipe.

Cream puffs
Baba or any yeast based cake
Desserts that are too sweet
Desserts with too much cinnamon
Sweet bread puddings
Jello (never had it actually)
There must be others but I don't remember them right now.

Amen for The cheescake factory

Icing with way too much sugar. I'm usually the one scraping icing off of cake at parties.
Banana bread or cooked bananas (plantains don't count). I love bananas though.
Most corporate baked goods; you can taste the lack of love and care in them, and I can't remember ever reaching for carrageenan or sodium benzoate when baking.
Sugar-free anything. Sugar substitutes taste nasty.
Most fruitcakes. I'm bored with them.
Adult-sized slices of chocolate cake. I usually find it too rich to eat in large quantities. I love chocolate, I just prefer it in small doses.
Most donuts, except for cake donuts.
Crunchy cookies. Just not a fan of the texture.

Desserts that make me go meh:
Red velvet cake? I mean, it usually tastes OK (vaguely reminiscent of malted milk, like Wendy's frosties), but I always feel odd eating so much food coloring.
Sock-it-to-me/7-up/insert soda here cake. Common in Southern cooking, and almost always too sweet.

Re: buttercream icing: unless you had it on a homemade cake or cake from a wedding party, it probably wasn't made with real butter. 'Buttercream' icing made from vegetable shortening is pretty disgusting.

I'm surprised so many people here don't like tiramisu, but I've had my share of bad tiramisu. I'll second the cannoli though. Highly overrated and just not that tasty.

Baked! I like my chocolate baked. I'll take it any way you want to give it to me, unless raisins are involved.

can't choose I love all chocolate

Please give me DARK CHOCOLATE!

dark!
