Desserts are a great way to end a satisfying meal, but why not turn the tables a little bit by designing your sweet treats to look like savory full-course dishes? These deceptive desserts have all been created to resemble a completely different dish unassociated with confectionary desserts. From treats that have been made to resemble scrumptious burgers to desserts that mimic sushi and pieces of bacon, these inventive recipes are a creative way to turn an ordinary after-meal course into something more fun and engaging.
