5 REASONS DESSERTS MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER

Okay, we'll admit it - we're always looking for more reasons to indulge in desserts. But honestly, who isn't? Desserts have this magical ability to turn the worst days into bearable ones and the best days into unforgettable celebrations. And if anyone dares to ask "Do you really need that slice of cake?" we're here to say, "Yes, Karen, we do - and here's why!"

Let's dive into five absolutely irrefutable (and possibly a little self-serving) reasons why desserts make life so much better. Warning: this is a judgment-free zone, so grab your favourite treat and read on.

1. Dessert is basically therapy, but cheaper

Ever noticed how a bad day gets 1000% better after a warm chocolate cookie? That's science baby! Dessert send your brain into overdrive, releasing serotonin, aka the "feel-good" hormone. It's like a hug - but for your taste buds.

​Honestly, why spend hours talking about your problems when a slice of cheesecake can solve them in one bite? (Okay, fine, therapy is important... but so is dessert. Balance, people.)

2. Sharing desserts is a love language

You know what they say: couples who share dessert together, stay together. (Or maybe they just argue over the last bite... either way, it's bonding)

Desserts are made for bringing people closer - literally, when everyone's reaching for the same spoon. Whether it's splitting a chunky cookie or passing around a box of cupcakes, sweet treats turn any moment into a mini celebration. Plus, it's a lot harder to stay mad at someone when they're handing you a cream-filled French eclair.

3. Dessert turns you into a nostalgia ninja

One bite of your favourite childhood dessert, and boom! You are 10 years old again, covered in frosting, living your best life. Desserts have this magical ability to teleport us to simpler times when our biggest problem was which ice cream flavour to pick.

Whether it's grandma's apple pie or that Mauritian napolitaine you haven't had in years, desserts are like edible time machines... Who needs a Tardis when you've got cake?

4. Desserts are an excuse to get creative

Think about it: desserts are edible art. Whether you're decorating sugar biscuits or building a cake taller than your niece, desserts let you channel your inner Picasso (but with frosting).

This is also why dessert shows are so addictive. Watching people whip up insane edible masterpieces reminds us that desserts aren't just food, they're magic. And if you mess up? No one cares, it still tastes amazing.

5. lIFE IS TOO SHORT TO SKIP DESSERT

Here's the thing: life is unpredictable. You never know what tomorrow might bring - so why not eat the coconut genoise today? Dessert is a reminder to stop taking life so seriously and just enjoy the little things.

​Whether it's a midweek pick-me-up or the pièce de résistance at a fancy dinner, desserts are the ultimate YOLO food. Go ahead, sprinkle a little extra powdered sugar. You deserve it!

So, Are We Justifying Our Sweet Tooth?
Yes. Absolutely! We’ll shout it from the rooftops: dessert makes everything better, and we’ve got the sugar rush to prove it. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, just hand them a Puit d'amour tart. Trust us, they’ll come around.

Desserts aren’t just food - they spread joy, creativity, and nostalgia wrapped up in a sweet little package. So the next time you’re debating whether to grab that slice of cake or not, remember: life’s too short to skip dessert. And if anyone questions you, just send them this article. You’re welcome 😊
