We've rounded up the tastiest bites from this week's posts so you don't miss anything delicious!

This Week in Serious Eats: Sweets

1. Sweet Technique: How to Make Perfect Pound Cake
"Pound cake is one of the best dessert delivery systems out there. When I look at pound cake, I see a blank canvas that's begging to be painted with macerated fruits, drizzled with chocolaty syrups, piled with dollops of whipped cream."

2. 6 Off-Menu Dessert Mashups at McDonald's
"Years ago, a friend introduced me to a mildly hilarious unofficial off-menu dessert at McDonald's: an apple pie and a vanilla ice cream cone, smashed up in a cup together to make the best McFlurry McDonald's doesn't know about."

3. Wake and Bake: Baked Beignets with Chicory Coffee Sauce
"When they're still hot out of the oven, the beignets are rolled in confectioners' sugar, and, when they're cool, I roll them again. To make them indulgent for Fat Tuesday, I serve them with a chocolate coffee sauce made from another New Orleans specialty: chicory coffee."

4. BraveTart: Make Your Own Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts
"These Pop-Tarts boast everything you remember about the originals and even newcomers can appreciate their warm, spicy-sweet flavor."

5. Scooped: How to Make Mr. Softee-Style Soft Serve
"The Mr. Softee truck is how I learned the phrase 'bat out of hell.' As in, 'Max, don't run out there like a bat out of hell. It's just ice cream and I want to see you live to your 11th birthday.'"

6. American Classics: Maple Bacon Long Johns
"Crispy on the outside yet pillowy soft on the inside, the powerful sweetness of the maple glaze on these doughnuts is balanced by the salty smokiness of the bacon."

7. Happy 100th: Birthday Cake Oreos
"Mass-market food brands like to find occasions to celebrate themselves. But we'll let Oreo celebrate their 100th birthday on March 6 without an eye roll. After all, how many supermarket sweets have been around for a century?"

8. Cookie Monster: Lemon Sunshine Cookies
"These lemon cookies are excellent at faking sunnier times. The cookies are soft and they easily melt away on your tongue into a burst of lemon. The dough has a punch of lemon zest, a discernible taste of butter, and a little buttermilk for tenderness."

9. Bake the Book: Entenmann's Chocolate Chip Cookies
"The beauty of a box of Entenmann's Chocolate Chip Cookies is that they have that perfect chewy on the inside, crisp around the edges thing going on. They're soft without being squishy, crunchy minus the brittle, and never stick around long."

10. Preserved: Meyer Lemon Marmalade
"This simple Meyer lemon marmalade showcases the fruit's bold, bright flavor, and it's the ideal topping for blueberry muffins or cornbread."
