October 14 is National Dessert Day. It also happens to be my wedding anniversary, so I think we all have reason to celebrate and eat dessert first today!
​
According to nationaldaycalendar.com the origin of this celebration is unknown, but I for one am glad it exists.

Here are a few interesting facts about desserts I found online (so surely they’re all true!).
  • The word dessert is derived from the French verb “desservir” which means to clear the table.
  • 150,000 gallons of water, chocolate, and cream were used to create the river in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
  • The first written ice cream recipe was found in a 1665 cookbook.
  • October 23 is National Boston Cream Pie Day… but it’s really a cake.
  • About 186 million pies are sold in grocery stores in America each year.

What, no cake facts? My favorite dessert is actually not cake. Weird for a cake baker to admit, right? Not really when you think about it. I tested 15 or so recipes to find my go-to vanilla cake. Repeat for every other flavor I have on my menu, and well, after all that, I never wanted to see a slice of cake in front of me again!
​
I actually don’t have just one favorite dessert. It seems I love all the goodies that I don’t offer on my menu. When it comes to a little something sweet my heart belongs to ice cream, cherry pie, cheesecake, crème brulee, and tiramisu. What’s your favorite dessert?
