Why Your Family Reunion Desserts Are the Real Reason Everyone Shows Up—And You’ve Been Ignoring It

Let’s get one thing straight: the real star of your family reunion isn’t Uncle Bob’s never-ending stories or Aunt Susan’s mystery casserole. It’s the desserts. Yes, the desserts. While everyone else is pretending they came to catch up, they’re really eyeing the dessert table. And if you’ve been treating dessert like an afterthought, well, let’s just say you’ve been missing the point. Your cheesecake isn’t just cheesecake—it’s the reason cousin Larry showed up on time for once.

Forget the small talk; serve the right dessert, and people will be talking about your reunion for years. Ignore it, and they’ll barely remember it happened.
