gifts of the month hi everybody welcome

today we’re going to talk about 10 words

for desserts so let’s know sweet the

first word is sweet sweet so sweet is

that sugary flavor that you have in your

mouth when you eat something that has I

don’t know natural sweet flavors I guess

for example like fruits many fruits have

natural sweetness like apples or oranges

have a sweet flavor and then there is

artificial sweetness like when you put

sugar actual sugar into like cakes or

cookies for example there’s that sugary

flavor we call that sweet that is a

sweet tooth flavor in a sentence I want

to eat something sweet decadent the next

word is decadent decadent is a word that

we use to describe something that is

like super selfish it’s like it’s like

ridiculous it’s kind of like crazy how

indulgent how like selfishly delicious

something is we use it a lot for

desserts so we use it for things that

are maybe very very rich which and we’ll

talk about some of these words later so

we’ll use it for things that have like a

really really strong rich deep flavor

maybe they have a high fat content or a

high sugar content maybe they have lots

of cream whatever something that seems

like it’s just a super-selfish just oh

it’s just too much that’s we can use the

word decadent for that so in a sentence

this pie is absolutely decadent rich so

the next word is rich rich we can use

the word rich for foods beyond desserts

it’s not only for desserts but it is a

very common word we use for desserts so

rich means of like a very deep flavor

it’s often applied with like chocolates

or creams so it has kind of like an

image of maybe a some fat for example so

it’s it kind of has more of like

adult desert image some examples of

things that are not rich are like

popsicles which is just like sugar and

flavor and water like typical like

citrusy candies aren’t really rich

they’re very sweet but not rich so we

use this for like chocolate cakes maybe

or pies or puddings custards maybe so

something that has like kind of a fatty

and deep flavor about it dope in a

sentence I prefer rich desserts that’s

true savory the next word is savory

savory is another word that we can use

to talk about food that is well not

sweet we can use savory for other things

like meats but for desserts savory means

something that has a rich flavor but

that tends more to be salty so something

that has a strong flavor not necessarily

fatty like rich but savory refers to

something that has that has a flavor

like a strong flavor that is not from

sweetness but something that is savory

is I don’t know like I heard one time of

like a bacon doughnut for example like

maybe that’s like a savory thing I don’t

know I did not eat the bacon doughnut

but that could be an example so

something that is savory is flavorful

without being overly sweet in ascendance

I feel like eating something savory

crispy the next word is crispy crispy

refers to a texture so the feeling of of

food in your mouth when you eat it is

like the texture that’s what I mean by

texture here crispy is something that

when you bite into it it makes like that

kind of crunchy sound it makes like for

example if you imagine eating like a

cracker for example the way it kind of

crumbles into your mouth or if you eat

something that’s like really like it’s

really really light like maybe a potato

chip as well could be depending on the

chip could be kind of crispy so

something that has often these are kind

of like fried things or maybe they’re

for desserts like a wafer could be very

crispy so something that that kind of

crumbles in your mouth a little bit it

has sort of a pleasant

texture about it that’s something crispy

crispy so in the sentence this wafer is

nice and crispy smooth the next word is

smooth smooth so smooth means it’s free

of any clumps or lumps so there’s by

free I mean there are no lumps there are

no clumps so we use this for example to

talk about like puddings or like a pie

filling maybe or perhaps a cake as well

so something that is really smooth means

like there’s everything is the same

consistency there are no like spots of I

don’t know there are no like hard pieces

and you’re putting I don’t know there’s

nothing kind of strange or different in

the mixture in the dessert mixture

everything is very smooth and consistent

it is all the same so smooth is a good

thing typically for desserts in a

sentence this mousse is so smooth

cakey the next word is cakey cakey cakey

can mean a good thing or a bad thing

like if something if if for example you

are eating pudding and you described it

as cakey that’s a bad thing

cakey should be used positively to talk

about a food that should be cakey so in

other words a cake or a muffin or

something that is cake like maybe even

bread to some extent like a sweet bread

could be cakey

so cakey means cake like it’s similar to

cake so maybe it’s kind of fluffy it’s a

little bit moist cakey refers to things

that are similar to cake so if you use

it like to talk about I don’t know

something that is not cake it sounds

like it’s a negative thing so like for

example I’ve heard the word cakey is

used sometime to refer to makeup that is

applied incorrectly so if you apply

makeup incorrectly it can look cakey by

that it means it looks like cake on a

person’s face you can see like maybe

like frosting you can think of that it

looks like cake it’s a bad thing in that

case a person’s makeup should not look

like cake probably bad thing there

however to talk about a muffin oh it’s

self

and delicious good thing so think about

the situation where the word cakey is a

plug in a sentence these muffins are

pleasantly cakey moist next word is

moist moist means it has moisture it has

water there is like a sense of liquid

the opposite of moist is dry so dry is

typically a bad thing in desserts we

typically don’t want dry deserts moist

means it has liquid it has moisture

there’s and it’s a good thing typically

to have like a slightly slightly moist

cake if you have like a super moist cake

it turns into I don’t know porridge or

something that’s bad but usually I’m

some kind of moistness in your dessert

like a pie or a cake is seen as positive

so moist moist is typically positive in

a sentence this cake is so moist

creamy the next word is creamy creamy

the root there is cream so something

that uses a lot of cream in a nice way

usually so we can also use creamy for

like sauces - so like a pasta sauce can

be very creamy or other foods can be

creamy but basically it means that a lot

of cream or the sensation the taste of

cream is in your mouth and it is

pleasant so it’s typically used

positively I suppose it could be used

negatively like spaghetti sauces creamy

and weird I don’t know I don’t know

maybe you can think of a creative way to

use creamy in a negative way but creamy

typically is a good thing for desserts

so in a sentence gelato is very creamy

fruity ok the last word is fruity fruity

so fruity the route here is fruit

obviously so something which has a

flavor like fruit it tastes like fruit

for example so lots of desserts use

fruit as a main ingredient because

fruits have natural sweetness so many

desserts are fruity beers are fruity as

well wine is fruity to many other types

of food are fruity you can use this word

outside of the realm of desserts

if you

in a sentence I like fruity desserts
