gifts of the month hi everybody welcome
back to top words my name is Alisha and
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
so
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
