About this dessert idea wheel
Dessert is a good candidate for a wheel because the choices are usually all acceptable. Nobody is going to be upset by brownies instead of crumble, which means chance can decide without anybody feeling overruled — the opposite of a decision where one option is clearly worse.
The starter mixes three kinds of effort: things you bake, things you assemble from the freezer, and fruit. Before a dinner with guests, prune it down to what you can realistically finish. A wheel that can land on cheesecake at six o'clock when nobody has made a cheesecake is a wheel that gets ignored.
There is a second use worth knowing about. Sitting in a restaurant, clear the list and type in the four things on the dessert menu that tempt you. Spin once and order what it says. That turns a five-minute stall into a few seconds, and the choice was yours anyway — you wrote the list.
Keep Random for a single dessert. Switch to No Repeats when you are picking several different things for a bake sale, a party table, or a week of after-dinner treats, so successive spins add variety rather than repeating a favourite. If one dessert genuinely is the household favourite, weights are more honest than pretending everything is equal: give it a larger share and the wheel shows the resulting odds.
The wheel has no idea what is in a recipe. It cannot see nuts, dairy, gluten, or anything else, so if you are feeding someone with an allergy, remove the unsuitable options from the list yourself before anyone spins.
