AA: Types of Dessert

I want to make sure that I look up a wide range of desserts for this project, especially so that the three of us don't choose completely the same ones while researching. I have started off by making a list of the main categories of desserts and then picking ones that look/sound interesting or are already quite popular; it would be fun to educate people on new foods but at the same time having a friendly animated guide to making desserts that people already enjoy but have never made themselves would maybe be more popular;
