City envy: we want a dessert festival like New York

No city would be complete without bakeries and restaurants serving up luscious desserts. But in New York, there’s also a massive shindig where you can taste all the city’s trending treats in one go. Pudding addicts, prepare to drool with envy.

Dubbed Dessert Goals, the multi-weekend fest is a Willy Wonka paradise where one ticket buys you two hours to gluttonously gorge on some of the city’s best macarons, chocolates, cake pops, cupcakes, pastries, pies and ice cream (plus some much-needed salty and savoury bites to cleanse the palate).

Like any good bash, this year’s event has a theme: ’70s disco. But if you’re going to rock some retro flares, we’d recommend wearing your stretchiest pair to absorb the hit to your waistline. It’ll be worth it – sweet dreams are made of this.
