I was a professional baker in New York City for about six years.Although I no longer make desserts for a living, I still spend plenty of time baking in my home kitchen, where I continue to develop recipes and take custom orders.Whether I'm grabbing ingredients for a homemade confection or picking up a premade pastry that tastes like it was just pulled out of the oven, Trader Joe's is my one-stop shop for irresistible desserts.Here are 11 sweet treats and baking staples I always buy at Trader Joe's.

I can't stop buying Trader Joe's lemon curd.

I love putting Trader Joe's English lemon curd on top of ice cream.
