10 Things Tuesday- Desserts!

It's time for 10 things Tuesday. This week, for a variety of different reasons- birthdays, lunches out, baking at school- I've made a lot of cakes. I'm definitely a sweet tooth fiend and would always order dessert rather than a starter. So with that in mind- I found 10 desserts that I'd had recently, many of them in Bali. I was on holiday after all! 
 
1. Carrot cake
One of the good things about being on holiday, and especially on your own - is that you can eat what you want when you want. I hadn't had lunch- so had this as a late lunch instead.
 
2. A mini éclair and cream puff
Unfortunately they tipped upside down in the box on the way back from the bakery! They might not look  good- but they sure tasted good.
 
3.Bread and Butter pudding
Another lunch substitute!
 
4. Apple crumble pie
This one was a dinner substitute!- Well why not? Who needs proper food!
 
5.Danish pastry
For eleven o'clock's - an early lunch
 
6. Banana Pancakes
Could quite easily be dessert- but actually had these for breakfast!
 
7. Mini mille feuille and éclair
Now this was dessert, a lovely quiche salad.
 
8.Mille feuille and tart
A couple of days after the dessert above, I went back to the same restaurant and had the same meal again:)
 
9. Pineapple pancakes
Breakfast again!
 
10. Cold Stones Ice Cream
My absolute favourite ice cream place-I'd only ever had it in the states- and then imagine my delight when I found a store in Bali- It would be worth flying there for! There's also a couple in Singapore- so it's always my treat whenever I go.
This is the cheesecake fantasy sundae.mmmm
 
And to round it all off- a coffee and dessert all in one-
A crème brulee coffee!
 
It's interesting to note that out of 10 desserts, I actually only had two after a meal- all the rest were substitutes for proper meals! Not very nutritional, but like I said- I was on holiday :)
 
Are you a desserts or a savoury person?
Until next time,

  2. YUM! It's hard to choose but I really do love Coldstone. My favorite mixture is called the Strawberry Blonde; it's so GOOD!

    1. Yep, I like that one too! But I can never make my mind up between cheesecake fantasy and Strawberry Banana rendezvous- all too good- in a way i'm glad I don't have any in England, nor here in Malaysia!

    1. I have definitely got a sweet tooth. I always feel I need something sweet to round off a meal- but it's a good job I don't always follow that up- otherwise i'd be the size of a house!
