What Your Favorite Dessert Says About You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

I acknowledge that all desserts are equally as delicious, but they’re also all unique in their own way. With endless sugary options available, it’s difficult to pick a favorite. Nevertheless, we all have one and no matter what our preference is, we can always find the perfect treat to match our sweet tooth. Think of you’re favorite pick for dessert… what does it say about you?

Brownie:

You have a deep and rich personality just like a fudgy brownie. When people first meet you, they might be intimidated by your tough exterior, like the hard and crunchy edges of a pan of brownies. Once they get to know you and break down your walls though, they find that you’re a kind and compassionate person, like the soft, warm middle of the pan.

Pie:

You’re sweet and classic. When any of your friends need advice, you tend to be the one that they turn to. You hold your own and are a natural leader. You’re also full of surprises. Piecrusts make it challenging to distinguish one type of pie from another, so the first bite can sometimes throw you for a loop.  

Macaroon:

You’re the trendsetter of any group and you always tend to be ahead of the game. Macaroons have been trending all over the place and the craze doesn’t seem to be dying down any time soon. You’re timeless, with a colorful and vibrant personality.

Cake:

You’re a very simple and traditional person. Extravagant gifts, plans, and events don’t appeal to you much. You value day-to-day life for what it is and aren’t easily impressed. You can also hold your own and count on your independent and responsible self.

Ice cream:

You tell it like it is. Ice cream isn’t as warm and inviting as other desserts are, but what’s the fun in that? You can always be counted on for your honesty. You also have a very calming personality and soothe and comfort others when they need it.

Chocolate chip cookie:

Don’t be fooled by your cute, sweet demeanor. You pack quite the punch and often find yourself as the center of attention. You have a fun time no matter what you’re doing and are the perfect balance of crazy and sweet.
