Figs are sensitive. Pomegranates can be cagey. And ripe peaches are basically a rarity. But sugar, eggs, flour, and butter? They're always there for you, all year round, ready to work together for the sake of a sweet treat. You will inevitably be invited to a dinner party this year, and you will maybe throw one too, so it may be wise to master a show-stopping dessert for whenever the time comes. Whether you like your desserts chocolatey or flaky or creamy, one of these six could very well become your signature.
