I can understand why you don’t like choux pastry. It’s got to be made of really good butter and must be eaten freshly made. It deteriorates into cardboard in a matter of hours.

And people who think Beard Papa’s cream puffs are the best in town don’t know good cream puffs. The pastry is surprisingly OK when fresh but the cream filling is tasteless and obviously cheap, all starch and so little milk it’s a myth.

I’m tempted to sit at their store, waiting to buy a batch fresh from the oven. And then I’ll fill them myself with my own luxurious home-made cream filling. THAT may change your mind about cream puffs.

this my first time to comment though i usually read all the articles here, and i also agree about not enjoying the black forest cake, no matter what brand and who ever bake it.its the main ingredients really doesnt go together( thats for my opinion).Everybody has diffrent taste and preferences but i also agree one will be definitely influenced about the deserts you dont like and may scrutinize and really look on to the taste and quality when they come across with any of the desserts mentioned here.

Tiramisu happens to be one of my favorite desserts! But I totally agree with you on the gelatin and the black forest cake.

I will have to agree with you on the Black Forest Cake. I just never liked it.

I so agree about fruit salad, I just loathe it!!!

What’s so good about canned (i.e.: not fresh) fruits smothered in whip cream? I couldn’t even stand the advertisements on TV about how good the boy’s mom’s fruit salad is, if you know what I’m talking about..

I just had to laugh when I looked at this post. I myself am also an overly fussy sweet tooth, and, your dislikes in sweet things are exactly the same as mine! From numero 1 to 7 lol… Although, since moving to Tokyo and trying out their french cakes, I have overcome my extreme dislike of mousse. Though I still am not too keen on them, at least the ones you get there by paris-trained patissiers are more bearable than the horrible ones you get from south asian local cake shops…

I dislike Tiramisu too. I tried it once in Seattle’s Best out of curiosity. It was like a layer of fluffy bread that tastes like coffee. It was such a bad experience and I swore, I’ll never try it again.

I haven’t tried other flavors of mousse except for the chocolate. I love it!

I’m not fond of black forest but my family loves it.
