I only have three teeth: a sweet tooth, a carb tooth, and a fat tooth. I put them to good use by eating pastries at any event where they may be available. Mother's Day brunch? Pastries. Football tailgate? Pastries. Living under a bridge? Pastries.

I define a pastry as a food that can be eaten in a single serving (preferably in hand), and is heavy on flour and sugar, but most of all fat. There are no cookies on this list, nor breads, nor are there any savory pastries because who has that kind of time? Just delicious sweet pastries, ranked.
