2. Confectionery
3. Candies
4. Cookies
5. Custards
6. Dessert Sauces
7. Donuts (Also spelled doughnuts)
8. Frozen Desserts (this includes ice cream)
9. Pastries
10. Pies
11. Puddings

interesting challenge. I have one book for sure, #1. cake- I find mysteries are an easier choice to find foods on the cover. however, have two other mysteries, but not dessert book covers. so this should be interesting to see what members come up with

The desserts may be mentioned in the story too.

Welcome, Carolyn and Writer!

I'm in.
