I am not sure if the dining hall desserts are actually making a come back, or if my standards for their desserts are just that low.

Strawberry Cheesecake

Cather Dining Hall

Flavor: Actually, pretty good. I was sooo surprised when I took my first bite of this thing. The flavor was that of a true cheesecake; you could tell that they actually put some time and effort into making this dessert, flavor wise that is. The only downside of the cheesecake is the fact that the strawberry topping was so artificial and fake that it nearly ruined the overall expereience

Consistency: Also, very much spot on. The cheesecake was creamy and dense like that of a New York style cheesecake, and I was honestly so shook. The crust was a little crumbly, but I really didn’t expect anything else from an obviously store bought gram-cracker crust. 

Aesthetics: Terrible. You can obviously tell from the photo that they gave literally no shits when plating the pieces of cheesecake. There was crust, cheesecake chunks, and strawberry topping everywhere. I feel like they could have definitely tired a little harder on the presentation. I low key got an uneasy feeling when I first saw it because I thought, here we go again, another complete disappointment.

What Type of Person Would it Be?: The friend that you are unsure as to how you guys became friends. This cheesecake is the type of person that is kind of an outsider that is really not considered a part of the friend group, or squad if you will, but is also not an acquaintance.  

Overall Rating: 7

Probably the most disappointing dessert yet.

 Oreo Truffles and Almond Joy Bar

Cather Dining Hall

Let us first discuss the Oreo truffles:

Flavor: Absolutely terrible. They reminded me of the one time I ate mud when I was younger.

Consistency: Grainy and mushy at the same time. These things were warm as shit and absolute trash over all.

Aesthetics: Some what pleasing. I was really looking forward to these because of their appearance. My mind was quickly converted from happiness to disgust when I took my first bite. 

What Type of Person Would it Be?: A guy you meet on Tinder that is really hot, but when you actually go out on a date, you are instantly disgusted by him because he is the human equivalent of a turd. 

Overall Rating: 2

Now, onto the Almond Joy Bar:

Flavor: Genetic and average. I could honestly taste the preservatives in it slowly killing me.

Consistency: Exactly what I expected from looking at it, coconut-y with a clumpy gel underneath. Overall, gag worthy.

Aesthetics: Saddening, the look of the bar itself honestly makes me sad when looking at it. You can tell that this is the type of dessert that you would eat if you have literally no other options. But at this point, I would rather go hungry than eat one of those things again. 

What Type of Person Would it Be?: The TA , of you least favorite class, that looks so tired and done with the world everyday. You can smell the liquor on his clothes and breath from the night before.
