Even though the cake is called German, it wasn't brought over from Germany. Instead, it originated in Dallas, Texas, in 1957. German chocolate cake's story dates back even further to the 1850s when a baker named Samuel German created a sweet baking chocolate. He developed the new chocolate with a higher sugar content for Baker's Chocolate — which, by the way, is also not called "Baker's" because it makes chocolate for bakers, but rather because its founder was named James Baker. The chocolate company named German's creation "German's Sweet Chocolate" after him.

Almost every state has an official bird, flag, flower, and motto. But not every state has an official cookie. Only a few states do. New Mexico has the bizcochito, a shortbread cookie flavored with a spice called anise and topped with cinnamon sugar. Massachusetts' state cookie is the chocolate chip cookie. Although bizcochitos are largely unknown outside the Southwest, the chocolate chip cookie is one of the most popular cookies all across the US.

American biscuits are small, fluffy quick breads, leavened with baking powder or buttermilk and served with butter and jam or gravy. They are close to what the British would call scones. To most of the rest of the English-speaking world, a biscuit is what Americans would refer to as either a cookie or a cracker. Biscuits can be sweet (shortbread) or savory. They're baked in the oven, and they're crisp, not chewy. What about chewy cookies, like chocolate chip or Snickerdoodle? These aren't nearly as common in the UK as they are in the US, but when they're made there, they're still called cookies.

Kerstkransjes are traditional Christmas cookies from the Netherlands. They are round with a hole in the middle. The most common type uses almond chips as decoration. Krumkaker are traditional cookies from Norway. They were originally baked over open fires using decorative irons; however modern cooks use electric or stovetop irons to bake these wafer-thin biscuits. Krumkaker owes their name, which means "bent cake" or "twisted cake", to the fact that they are wrapped in a cone shape.

Banoffee pie is a type of dessert that was first created at a pub in England. It consists of a pastry pie shell that is filled with condensed milk toffee and bananas and topped with whipped cream mixed with coffee and some sugar. The original recipe for the dish calls for everything to be made from scratch, though very quickly assembled versions developed as more premade ingredients became available. One of the more unique aspects of the dish is the way in which the toffee is made, because it involves cooking an unopened can of condensed milk. The name of the pie, banoffee, is a word that was created by combining the words "banana" and "toffee", the two main ingredients.

A s'more is a campfire treat popular in the United States and Canada, consisting of one or more toasted marshmallows and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker. Various confections containing graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow are often sold as some derivative of a s'more. Still, they are not necessarily heated or served in the same shape as the traditional s'mores. The Hershey's S'mores bar is one example. Kellogg's Pop-Tarts also feature a s'mores variety.

You’d think it weighed a pound, right? Nope. According to the original recipe, four pounds is how much an original pound cake required. That’s one for each ingredient: flour, eggs, butter, and sugar. This simple recipe has been repeated and modified in American cookbooks as far back as the first one. American Cookery, written by Amelia Simmons and published in Hartford, Connecticut in 1795, offered this recipe for the dessert: “One pound sugar, one pound butter, one pound flour, one pound or ten eggs, rose water one gill, spices to your taste; watch it well, it will bake in a slow oven in 15 minutes.”
