As the weather continues to cool down and the sun sets ever earlier, we start to feel the beginning of fall. We naturally spend more time cocooned indoors, lighting candles, snuggling under blankets, creating that hygge mindset.

We also find ourselves craving comforting and cozy dishes and desserts. Maybe we dream of a fluffy and lighter-than-air French chocolate souffle, or poppable street food snacks like Hong Kong egg waffles.

Throughout the world, various cultures have created delectable desserts that are perfect for cozying up to this autumn, and we’ve rounded up some of our favorite bakeware to help you make them all fall.
