A lot of random thoughts may cross your mind on a daily basis, but are any of them \u201cWhat kind of dessert best exemplifies this particular character from classic literature?\u201d Probably not. However, I bet you’re thinking about it NOW, so here’s what we came up with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daisy Buchanan<\/strong>
A pink macaron is as sweet, compact, and adorable as Daisy, and will probably get you into an accident if you let it drive.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Rochester<\/strong>
The cr\u00c3\u00a8me br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00e9e, not unlike Mr. Rochester, gets better with a little bit of fire. Case rested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady Macbeth<\/strong>
Cranachan has been called the uncontested king of Scottish dessert, and we all know that Lady Macbeth would have made a better king than her husband. Also, this raspberry-filled pudding has red spots to spare. And they’re definitely not coming out.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romeo<\/strong>
A kid as fickle as Romeo deserves a dessert to match, and what would be better than a souffl\u00e9? Both Romeo and souffl\u00e9s need a lot of attention, and both have a tendency to fall apart right at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Darcy<\/strong>
Three words: Sussex pond pudding. Doesn’t that just sound<\/em> like the most British thing you’ve ever heard? Besides, ponds are an important element of the accepted Pride and Prejudice<\/em> canon (yes, the 1995 version counts). And the Sussex pond pudding has a whole lemon inside that is more sweet than bitter. Tell me that is not Darcy. I dare you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane Eyre<\/strong>
If there is a character that would never be a dessert, it’s Jane Eyre. Plain, kind, and wholesome, she has the soul of bread. The multigrain kind. And she’s exactly the sort of person who would consider bread a dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ebenezer Scrooge<\/strong>
A financier is a small, simple almond cake that resembles a gold brick bar of a banker. It’s nothing showy or expensive, but it SCREAMS money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ophelia<\/strong>
What says \u201ca tragic girl drowned amidst flowers\u201d more than a floral jelly? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claude Frollo<\/strong>
Religieuse is a French pastry that is as strict about its moral and dress code as Frollo. The likeness is uncanny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth Bennet<\/strong>
A trifle is a stunning yet simple English dessert that brings a smile to everyone’s faces, just like a certain literary character we all know and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
