Cakes, pastries, waffles, cakes, biscuits… We can’t live without desserts, even if we’re on a diet. You say to yourself ‘just a little piece’ and then you realize you can’t stop. This article will be helpful for those who love desserts and love to travel as well. Take a look at this list of the tastiest desserts in the world, and the next time you visit one of the countries, you’ll know without a doubt what dessert to try!

1. Tiramisu (Italy)
Try just a spoon of this dessert and you’ll love this cake for sure. Tiramisu literally means ‘pick me up’ or ‘lift me up’. Tiramisu is made by combing eggs, mascarpone cheese, ladyfingers cream, brandy, sugar, rum and grated chocolate or cocoa. There are diff approaches to tiramisu. Some focus on the espresso coffee flavor, others the chocolate shavings. Those components are definitely key but getting the lady finger dipped right is everything. Soggy tiramisu is usually a soggy lady finger issue. Of course, this dessert is really popular and you can try it in any country, but the best Tiramisu you will taste will only be found in Italy.

2. Cheesecake (USA)
Cheesecake is a dessert with a heritage in both European and American cuisines. It contains cheese (usually ricotta or mascarpone), biscuits and fruit. So cheesecake isn’t only tasty, but healthy as well. You can try this dessert in any country, but, believe me, the tastiest cheesecake you can find is in New York. The only problem is to choose the type you want: a classic cheesecake or cheesecakes with berries. Be ready to bow down to New York Cheesecake – it’s heavenly!

3. Pavlova (New Zealand, Australia)
Pavlova is a national dish of two countries – New Zealand and Australia. The main advantage of this dessert is a quick and easy preparation. You won’t find this cake in every coffee house. It’s served in restaurants and you can buy it in confectioneries. Or, of course, you can cook it by yourself. Pavlova is made of a meringue crust with whipped cream and topped with fresh fruits and berries. This dessert isn’t a high-calorie offering so even girls on a diet can taste it.

4. Baklava (Turkey)
Baklava is a must to taste if you’re visiting Turkey. It is widely believed that Baklava is a greek dessert, but originally these sweets originated in Turkey. Honey is the main ingredient for Greek-style Baklava. A light syrup (made from sugar, water and lemon juice) is used for Turkish Baklava as the main ingredient. Baklava comes in different shapes and sizes (rolls, squares, spirals, diamonds). This dessert is made with thin sheets of butter coated pastry. You can find these sweets with hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios and other nuts.

5. Profiteroles (France)
France is a country with many tasty desserts. If you visit France, it’ll be hard for you to choose the sweets you want to try – decisions, decisions! Their croissants are well-known all over the world. But chocolate profiteroles are the ultimate winners in French cuisine. Profiteroles are small ice cream-stuffed puffs covered with chocolate sauce. This dessert resemble eclairs, but profiteroles are smaller and the filling is ice-cream. Profiteroles became really popular among dessert lovers and chefs all over the world started to cook these tasty treats. But you can feel a real taste of profiteroles only in France.

6. Apple Strudel (Austria)
You may think that apple strudel is just a simple apple pie. But there is one secret why this dessert is so tasty and why it became the national dish of Austria. The secret is a thin pastry. It must be so thin so you can read a newspaper through it. Strudel is stuffed with apples, cinnamon, raisins and bread crumbs. This dessert is served hot with a scoop of ice-cream.

7. Anmitsu (Japan)
Japan is a creative country and there are a lot of dishes we can’t understand and we won’t eat at all. But this dessert is really one of the tastiest desserts in Japan. And, what’s good, it’s a healthy kind of sweets. Anmitsu consists of such ingredients: kanten (agar agar jelly made of seaweed), anko (sweet azuki bean paste), syrup (mitsu), fruits, ice-cream and boiled peas. It’s served with black sugar syrup kuromitu. When you visit Japan, please, try this dessert! You’ll never forget it’s taste!

8. Kurtoscalacs (Hungary)
This dessert isn’t only tasty but looks funny as well! Children just love these sweets. It resembles a chimney, that’s why sometimes this dessert is called Chimney Cake or Stove Cake. It’s a helix-shaped pastry and made from sweet, yeast dough. Kurtoscalacs are rolled in granulated sugar and flavoured with sweet spices. When you visit Hungary, you’ll see a lot of people tasting this dessert. So don’t miss a change to try it too!

9. Churros (Spain)
The Spanish love to eat churros on breakfast, but they may be eaten as a day snack. This dessert is served in cafes and churros are sold by street vendors as well, so it’s also some kind of ‘street food’. Spanish call these sweets ‘a big French fry’. They can be thin or thick and served warm. Churros are drizzled with honey or sprinkled with sugar.

10. Mango sticky rice pudding (Thailand)
There are a lot of weird things to eat in Thailand, but this dessert is just a delicacy. It seems simple at first sight, just rice with mango. But the mango makes the rice really delicious and sweet. Two or three spoons of coconut milk and you’ll have the tastiest delight. And healthy as well. Even the Kardashian-Jenner sisters enjoyed this dessert when they took a vacation in Thailand. So you must try it!

The World Cup draws many in front of the TV at home or in the pub. So why not throw a fun party to celebrate it all together, with family and friends? In order that you can really get in a football party mood, you need some soccer themed decor with a world champion flair like this cute DIY football coffee table. You can actually build it by yourself, if you follow the step-by-step instructions.

World Cup  party decor

Needed materials: a table top (80 x 80 cm or 120 x 60 cm, 25 mm thick), 4 footballs, a jigsaw, white and green acrylic paint, a paint brush, masking tape, a saucer, a pencil.

Mark and saw out the holes for the table legs – in this case 4 footballs

To build the football coffee table, you need a wood board – at least 25 mm thick. The dimensions of the table in this example are 80 x 80 cm. Of course, the coffee table may also have realistic proportions of a rectangular soccer field like 120 x 60 cm.

On this wood board draw four circles for the legs using a pencil and a teacup saucer. The diameter should be about 16 cm so that the footballs can fit into the hole. Then drill a small hole in the marked circles and then saw them out with a jigsaw. Ideally, the circles should be sewn at a 45 degree angle, so that the footballs could “snap” later exactly in the holes.

Paint the table top and draw the field lines of your World Cup 2014 party table

Next, paint the wooden board with white acrylic paint and let the paint dry. Then cover the lines of the playing field with masking tape, such as frames, center line and goal areas, so that they remain white. Then, apply the green paint.Remove the masking tape after the paint has dried. If you like it more authentic, you can use artificial grass. For this, cut and glue the grass to the size of the board. Then paint the lines on the grass and let the paint dry.

Paint the center circle and insert the footballs

Finally, only the center circle is missing. To do this, make with masking tape two circles in the center with a diameter of 16 cm and 20 cm. Apply white paint in the gap between them. Once everything is dry, insert the four footballs in the holed. You can use the DIY football coffee table immediately.

St. Louis-native Max Scherzer won’t get to face his home-town team in the World Series this year.

11. Massiel Dotel

Tigers reliever Octavio Dotel played a crucial role for the Cardinals during their championship run last year, and I’m sure the Detroit brass are hoping he’ll play a similar role this year.

10. Savannah Swetland

Hunter Pence definitely has a thing for chicks with pin-up girl looks. First he dated some bikini model named Terrie B. Then it was a blonde Houston Texans cheerleader named Lindsay Slott. (No joke. Lindsay Slott.) Then it was Playboy Playmate Shannon James.

9. Lincecum’s Mystery Girl

 The Giants are once again in the World Series, but now Lincecum sucks (like, really sucks), and he’s dating some mystery woman Giants fans have taken to called “Go-Kart Girl” on internet forums.

8. Jalynne Dantzscher

No, you’re not seeing things, and this photo was not doctored. Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is married to a former UCLA gymnast named Jalynne Dantzscher, and Jalynne has an identical twin named Janelle.

7. Rosangel Cabrera

Poor Rosangel Cabrera has her hands full with husband Miguel. Sure, he’s probably the best all-around hitter in baseball today, and he won the first triple crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. But he’s also a wee bit addicted to booze. In 2009, Miggy was arrested after a domestic disturbance sparked by his returning home loud and drunk at 6AM. (The next day he showed up to the ballpark with scratches on his face, suggesting that Rosangel might have let him have it.) After that he went to rehab for a few months, but got in trouble again prior to the 2011 season when he was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving and resisting arrest.

6. Chelsea Cain

Matt Cain met his wife, Chelsea, during spring training. She was working as a waitress at a steakhouse while attending Arizona State, and Matt Cain was a steak-eating patron. They got married in 2009, then had their first child in 2010, not long after Matt won his first World Series ring.

5. Kristen Posey

Buster Posey doesn’t even look old enough to be married. However, the 2012 NL batting champ married his high school sweetheart, Kristen, back in 2009, when he was just 22. Then the couple welcomed twins into the world in August of 2011.

4. Ana Sanchez

The Tigers picked up starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez from the Marlins for the stretch drive. And while he pitched well, going 4-6 with a 3.74 ERA, I’m sure his lovely wife, Ana, was less-that-thrilled to leave the warm Miami beaches and move to Detroit. Of course, winning the World Series might make up for it.

3. Amber Zito

2. Windy Pagan

Angel Pagan is one lucky dude. Not only did he get traded from the Mets to the Giants prior to the 2012 season, going from misery in Queens to jubilation in the city by the Bay. He also happens to be married to a stone cold fox. Congratulations, Angel.

1. Kate Upton

For months there was speculation that Justin Verlander was dating 2012 SI Swimsuit cover-girl Kate Upton, but neither of them would confirm anything. Then someone from Celebuzz.com acquired confirmation of the relationship form a very unlikely source: Justin’s 87-year-old grandpa, Richard.
