What is a special desert?

So I am throwing a relative a party this weekend to celebrate an engagement. To make it special, I'd love to make a desert. Do you have any idea on a delicious extravagant desert? It doesn't have to be complicated, like a soufflé, but I don't want it to be simple, like a cupcake.

Thank you!

If no one's allergic to chocolate I suggest my mom's "Better Than Sex Chocolate Chocolate Fudge Cake" - or just "Sex Cake" for short.

You will need one box of chocolate cake mix. A can of chocolate fudge. Cool Whip. Chocolate sprinkles or shaved chocolate.

Make the cake according to the directions - though I always like to doctor up mixes myself by adding a teaspoon of Crisco, a big scoop of brown sugar, and a healthy dash of vanilla. Sometimes I'll add other things like chocolate syrup or hot chocolate mix. But that part's up to you. While it's baking punch holes in the syrup can and fill a pan with water, enough to cover the bottom half of the can. Bring the water to a boil to heat up and soften the fudge.

When you get the cake out poke it repeatedly all over with a fork. Not so much that it falls apart or anything, but you do want a bunch of small holes all over the top. Then pour the fudge all over it. It's important to do this while the cake is still hot as the heat and the holes help get the fudge into the cake.

Put it into the fridge until it's ice cold. When it's cold put the Cool Whip all over it and then decorate with the sprinkles. Be sure to keep it refrigerated until just before serving.

Now my mom of course is the one who uses Cool Whip. There's this stuff my grandma used and I like to use myself called Dream Whip. It's a mix - see the link. Or you can make your own whipped cream with heavy cream, however you prefer.

Hey! i am currently a student at a baking and pasrty schhol and today i just finished making somethind called a chocolate marquate. i is very delicious and elegant. you will need flexy mold and does not require baking, add some raspberries and serve cold and its a pure chocolate dream, either that or chocolate honey mousse tores are amazing too and easy to make trust me:)
