5. Cupcakes on Sex and the City - When the ladies pay a visit to the now famous Magnolia Bakery in Greenwich Village, they single handedly started the cupcake craze and the lines that continue to snake around the tiny shop. I can taste sugary frosting just typing this.
4. The cheesecake episode on Friends - There are a few classic dessert episodes from Friends, but one of my favorites is when Rachel and Chandler steal a neighbor's cheesecake and even wind up eating some off of the floor. Has cheesecake ever looked so delicious?!
3. Lover's Delight on 30 Rock - Jack Donaghey takes Salma Hayek's character to dinner at fancy restaurant, Plunder, and they order an uber sundae known as Lover's Delight. The dessert sounds amazing and includes 25 karat gold(!)
2. Chocolate babka on Seinfeld - The gang is invited to a friend's for dinner so they stop at their local bakery to pick up a chocolate babka. A couple winds up snagging the last one, so Jerry and Elaine have to settle for a cinnamon babka. This episode does double dessert duty when Jerry launches into a speech about his admiration for the black and white cookie.
1. Dessert trifle on Friends - Who can forget that hilarious Thanksgiving episode of Friends when Rachel is responsible for preparing the only dessert, but misreads the trifle recipe and includes a "layer of meat sauteed with peas and onions" from a Shepherd's Pie recipe. Somehow we come away from that episode wanting trifle! "Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Goooood."
AMAZING post!!!! I love this so much! And all so true. Haha for some reason, even though the meat in the custard always disgusted me, the description of the rest of the layers sounded so good I always wanted to eat it anyway! "Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Goooood." hahaaaa Love it.
