Never have heard of rum baba
As a child,my davorite dessert was creme de menthe parfait. Yum! (Yes, my parents allowed it. There wasn’t that much creme de menthe in the dessert, after all.)
Are people even still drinking Harvey Wallbangers? 😮
I’m convinced that NOBODY actually liked jell-o ‘salad’.
Oh my gosh …..i totally forgot about multi colored marshmallows! Pink, green & white. I guess they went out with colored toilet paper. I used to think my grandmas boudoir bathroom with its pink or green toilet paper was the height of glamor
I’m not sure where there getting there information from but, we still cook a lot of these especially during the holidays.
Also available in a lot of restaurants.
Most people don’t bake anymore. They get their desserts from a supermarket or bakery. Corporations don’t make these desserts because they would be more expensive to produce.
Health considerations don’t stop people from buying garbage junk food today.
I don’t understand the repeated emphasis on the “growing trends for lighter, less sugary desserts”. I see no evidence of this in North America today; obesity is far more prevalent than it was when these desserts were popular. Besides, healthy” and “dessert” are kind of a contradiction in terms. The main difference in the past was not what people ate, but how much they ate. They moderated their intake of sweet foods and junk foods more. When I was a kid, cake or pie was something we got once a week with Sunday dinner, if we were lucky, and at birthday parties. That at was about it. Dessert on weekdays was most often just a small bowl of ice cream, pudding, or jello. Or just fruit. It wasn’t that we were poor; it was just the norm. “Fancy” desserts like cake or pies were just not an everyday thing.

6:11 oh shut up! Cake and desserts of all kinds are not eaten for health. Unless you ruin the with healthy ingredients 😂😂😂
I still make German chocolate cake
Most of these are still eaten in the uk.
I laughed when he said that the newer foods were fresh and less processed. When was he from?
I made the German chocolate cake for 43 years for my late husband’s birthday.
German chocolate cake isn’t fading into history especially in my house, it’s my favorite. Never heard of the Vienetta.
Can’t believe you didn’t include lemon meringue and Boston cream pie!
I still enjoy Black Forest cake and Viennetta on a regular basis.
Also did you know only 5% of the world can not eat gluten
I really wanted to watch this video for some fun retro dessert ideas, but the audio is just so wonky that its hard to sit through. Is anyone else noticing the weird buzzing effect in the background with every word?
I’m not buying the "they fell out of favor because they’re too unhealthy" explanation, not when we have Crumbl cookies in all their oversized candy-stuffed sugary glory or all the calorie-dense cakes and donuts and other pastries you can still get at any bakery. I think it’s just a matter of tastes in general, or the fact that a lot of these desserts are pretty labor-intensive or possibly dangerous (crepes suzette and cherries jubilee).
I can buy that some of them fell out of favor for not being as photogenic, though. Especially in the age of Instagram.
I make a pineapple upside down cake often. And ambrosia salad is still at my family and church activities. German chocolate cake is my dad’s favorite. I like it. Carnival cruise lines sometimes have a whole dinner show around baked Alaska. Good video.
Viennetta was BOMB!😋 Fondou still hits at weddings. Chocolate fountain with fruit, anyone?! Pineapple upside down cake? HITTIN’!👍🏻💯😋
Vienetta is still around but has become completely inedible due to changes to its recipe 🤢
You say faded away yet people still make these cakes? My 13 year old son loves upside down cake.
We have lemon chiffon cake for Pesach (Passover) because it is made with matzoh meal instead of flour.
Oh please! We are having more more obesity people are not that worried with healthier options. I made a pineapple upside down cake for Thanksgiving that many years ago, and most of these aren’t popular because they were nasty/ not sweet enough.
We have cheese fondu all the time. Well, more in the fall and winter but it’s a great dinner party as it gives people the opportunity to sit, drink wine, and talk. I’m not sure who replaced a fondu with fast food, as the video suggests. Surely no one has ever said "I don’t feel like fixing a fondu tonight; let’s just go to McDonald’s."
I make pineapple upside down cake regularly, and it is visually-dynamic and instagram-worthy.
I literally just donated a Strawberry Charlotte Russe for a charity dessert auction and it raised $385.
I’ve made most of these desserts and I’m going to try Rum Baba and Lady Baltimore cake because of this video.
What are you talking about? I make chocolate chiffon cake all the time and also eat most of the others!!
German Chocolate is still my Birthday cake
So we’re all in agreement that nearly all of these never disappeared right?
Pineapple upside down cake, German chocolate cake, and tunnel of fudge cake never lost popularity here.
You need to leave the north. Several of these still appear on tables in the South. Attend some Southern Church dinners you will see you don’t know what you are talking about.
You can get Vienetta in Pizza Hut’s dessert menu still
So people want simpler desserts. Also people want more complex desserts. Gotttt it.
I used to make my pineapple upside down cake with honey and a light sprinkle of cinnamon instead of brown sugar because I had honey.
Anybody remember Jello 123? It was available in the 80’s. We loved it, thought it was magic. It was just a Jello product that set into 3 different layers, one was mousse-like, another a plain Jello layer. I don’t know why they stopped making it
Every time the words "healthier ingredients, or lighter more natural" is said, I challange that notion. People in the 50s and 60s were still cooking at home, many familys being the first two income families, things that were popular were those easy to make. Modern eaters have been duped, example, "cream bad, butter bad, lard bad,:" but my purchased icecream ingrediants in my fridge is (skimmilk, whey , soybeen oil, vanilla flavor, carob bean, gum agaur and lecithin.) No wonder we are fatter than ever.
It’s so funny that your reason for all these decline is almost the same every single time hahaha
I still make and eat all of these deserts except for jello salad.
Half of the things you’re saying that have fallen by the wayside really have not. In the heart of America most of these are still very valid and eaten quite a lot. It’s only the snobbish East and West Coast to believe to be gourmets that think they’re not warranted anymore. Shame on you.
So what desserts are he referring to. No dessert is "healthy" and if it is I don’t want to eat it… Desserts are supposed to taste good not like cardboard.
Except for the change in the name of desert the rest of every description was the same.
I have watched some of these videos and wish they would be more accurate
How wrong can an entire video be?
I grew up with so many of these!!! I haven’t seen many of them since I was a kid, and I really miss the old fashioned desserts my mom used to make. Sigh….
We can still make these with lower sugar and refined ingredients. There’s plenty of healthy alternatives
I’m less than 40, and I still have German Chocolate cake whenever I can on my birthday. It’s been my favorite since I was about 14
We still have chiffon cake everywhere here in the Philippines 😂
I love German chocolate cake. Just found out that it’s a American receipe
Tunnel of fudge cake….. they don’t make one of the ingredients you need to make it! That’s why it’s not made anymore.
I’m making bananas foster tomorrow ❤
