Dessert Tubes
This is the most fun dessert you’ll ever eat! Be prepared for some hilarious, almost musical, sound effects as your friends and family slurp back on the tubes. Then BOOM! A flavor hit all at once. Unless you’re running a Weight Watchers meeting, guests will definitely want more than one. These would be awesome at a cocktail party or wedding as a great conversation starter.
For this dessert you will need glass tubes, they need to be open at both ends so you can suck up the dessert (if you just use test tubes, your guests will not be able to eat the dessert). The tubes that I bought were 14mm x 1.5mm x 290mm, there are similar ones but a bit shorter here or there are heaps more sizes here.

Will this get rid of my vaginal discharge?
Hi Ann or Ann’s helper! I watch your videos everyday and I absolutely Love them! Keep up the good recipes!
Thanks Ashley. We so appreciate your feedback.
Ann my question is about the comment i placed before about the fat/big straws
i asked that because i checked the licks on the pipes on amazon but none of the pipes ship to Australia and i have no more places to buy the pipes
Please Reply
Hi Wendy, This one ships to Australia: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015XHJSQ6/ref=psdc_15754801_t4_B071ZYHWXK
Hi Ann, again,
I would like to know if i could use those fat/big straws
Hi Wendy, Yes you can but it needs to be something that can cope with a moist filling. A reuseable platic straw with a large diameter will work well.
Hi Ann
I would like to know where u could buy those pipes from.
Please reply
Hi Wendy, I got these on amazon
Hi. Enjoyed watching your great and amazing video. By the way, may i ask can it be done using a straw instead? Thank you and looking forward to your reply 🙂
Hi June, Paper straws are generally too narrow and too weak in structure to work. If you can get a wider guage, plastic straw then that should work. You need to be abe to get the componenets in and out.
Hi Ann!
Could I use a silicone straw?
Hi, I just wanted to ask, is this recipe possible with a big straw like the ones you would get at a milk tea place? They are shorter, but they are open at both ends, so I was wondering if they could work in place of the glass tubes.
Thanks.
Every day I watch your videos
That is awesome Rachael. I hope you have a chance to try baking too.
Hi ann what a wonderful DIY recipes truly amezing . For a person who enjoys making things from scratch , your youtube channel n website are like a treasure trove . I was curious if there is any way to make homemade flavored milk straws for kids ? If you cld show us u know u’ll have our blessings forever….?
Hi Pallavi, Thanks for the fabulous feedback. Ann hasn’t created a video about flavored milk straws yet, but you may want to check out her dessert tubes. Not the same but twice as yummy!
Ohhh no not saucepan a autoclave
Thanks ????
Hi Mana, Why not do something quite different. Check out this cake: https://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/chocolate_pinata_gluten_free_cake_recipe/ Just adjust the chocolate used to suit your dietary restrictions if needed.
I had another question too
Can you give me a cake recipe which it doesn’t have any milk and it doesn’t need oven You can do it in a saucepan
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????
Hi Ann
I had a question
For the kids desert tubes instead of jelly beans what can I use because I don’t like jelly beans
Hi Mana, Use any sort of small lolly that is safe for children and fits very comfortably in the tube.
Hi Ann i was wondering what your inspiration is for your cakes and all other stuff?
(The c by the email is a small letter)
Hi Claudia, Ann gets her inspiration from many different sources. Sometimes her ideas flow from requests or suggestions from subscribers too.
Hi Ann I follow your blog and YouTube Chanel religiously! I was wondering if there is more deconstructed tube desert recipes like the pavlova? Something with chocolate maybe? Thanks!
Hi Eugenia, You can experiment with ingredients you like, but a chocolate mousse with chocolate treats and strawberries would be yumm.
