Hint 1:

I've added a "cipher" tag.

Hint 2:

Had I been content with less mouth-watering desserts, I could have used this pic for the top middle slot:

    $\begingroup$ @ABcDexter Admittedly it might not have been wise to put together this puzzle the first thing in the morning (my time), now all I can think of is food :-) $\endgroup$ Dec 12, 2018 at 19:11

The answer is

LIQUOR

Because each image

resembles a letter from the maritime signal flag alphabet!

    $\begingroup$ +1 Wow, I would've never thought of this. Also props for OP pretty accurate images, now that I saw rot13(gur bevtvany syntf). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Yeah, finding the right images took forever - but then, it's not terribly painful looking at hundreds of pictures of glorious desserts picking just the right one :-) $\endgroup$ Dec 14, 2018 at 18:16

Partial:
Image 1:

Apparently this is a chocolate and vanilla Battenberg Cake, which I have never heard of before. Looks like there is some sort of raspberry (presumably) jelly or something to glue the pieces together.

2:

Uhh... I'm not too familiar with macaroons to begin with, but at least the little one on top appears to be a macaroon. So, what's the big ol' base and the cookie halves for? Plus, there's just ONE blueberry... And what is that black thing? Makes it look like a candle pastry!

3:

A mango dome entremet OR a mango mousse dome? What?

4:

Another battenberg cake, but this time white chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla (I think).

5:

Cut/sliced mango and strawberries.

6:

This is nifty looking. I guess it's a well done raspberry and (white) chocolate (or, maybe it's fondant, however that's actually spelled) sponge cake.

How this all relates:

Hah! No idea other than them all being forms of deserts. (Well 5 is only fruit you say. Well fruit can be considered desert, probably more commonly so outside of the states I say).
(Note, I forgot about the title. Yeah, they're deserts. Great observation.)

    $\begingroup$ These observations are fairly accurate but don't really help you... $\endgroup$ Dec 12, 2018 at 21:54
  • $\begingroup$ Indeed. I had hoped that figuring out what each thing was would help, but that didn't pan out. Had considered deleting the answer all-together. Still might. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I don't know if it's relevant at all, but the cookies on 2 are macarons, not macaroons. Confusingly, a macaroon is also a type of cookie but is entirely different :) $\endgroup$ Dec 12, 2018 at 22:31

Images in order from left to right top then left to right bottom

1.

2.

Presumably: Macaron (French Macaroon)

3.

Mango Mousse Cake

4.

BATTENBERG CAKE PAN

5.

    $\begingroup$ Er, yes, that's the title of the puzzle :-) Not the answer. $\endgroup$ Dec 13, 2018 at 2:09
  • $\begingroup$ I notice that the top picture row had a sponge like in common, and the bottom row was fruits. Not sure if that related $\endgroup$
