I tend to like desserts more if they're fruit-based, like my current favorites (Mom's) pumpkin pie and poached brandied pear at a local restaurant.
Best ever was passion fruit mousse in chocolate shells with a sprig of mint.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I like oatmeal rasin cookies, but I absolutely love oatmeal butterscotch cookies. They may be my favorite cookie ever.

(in the coset or the fridge, there is some dispute over this)
Left coset or right coset?
TomW, nice to see you again. Ish. That is, see-ish, not nice-ish.
Holy crap, my credit card is over the limit. That's never happened to me before.

I don't like things in my oatmeal cookies at all.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Neon cubes are not compulsory. The cake we made last year was from Good Eats and included no neon. It did include dried raisins, currants, cranberries, blueberries, cherries and apricots (soaked overnight in booze). The only candied thing in it was ginger.

I love dried fruits. I used to drive my mother nuts picking all the weird little floury date "worms" from the gorp we got from the grocery store.

Oh, I'm fully aware that I'm bizarrely finicky in general. I'd make a lousy Iron Chef taster because there are just enough things I can't stand no matter how well they're done. But I'm not the kind of finicky that rules out whole cusines or spices or anything like that--just desserts with dried fruit (I sometimes like raisins in savory dishes), raw fish, slices of raw tomato (it's a texture thing--I don't like the squishy inner bits--so I'm fine with seeded chopped tomato in salsa, bruschetta, etc.), and so on. I'm not happy about being so finicky--I mean, who wants to be a sushi-hater in Seattle?--but I don't see how I can change my taste buds and texture squicks this late in the game.

One of my former coworkers used to love fruitcake. She'd send a, "Good home to unwanted fruitcake" email out after every Thanksgiving, and usually ended up with enough free fruitcake to last her through Easter.
I like some fruit-based desserts, but the store-bought fruitcakes I've had usually tasted more plasticy-sweet than fruit-like.
