Ethnic Desserts in MSP area

Thanks for all these great suggestions. It does sound like a fun class, doesn't it? And yet, the students are NOT into it. They don't like anything I bring. I'm so disappointed. They didn't like spanakopita the first week (which prompted me to switch to desserts) -- I mean, how can you NOT like that? They did like the tres leches cake, but it really didn't seem too different than American cake, so this doesn't really count. They HATED the mochi I brought in! It was DELICIOUS, and I gave the leftovers to some staff and colleagues who all loved it. But what's with my students? Sigh...at least I am learning about all these new things and getting to eat them myself! And my little boys LOVE it all too.

I am teaching a seminar on The Psychology of Eating and I have received a little money from the U to bring the students a different ethnic food each week. We decided in class to make these all desserts. So, I am in need of help. Can anyone recommend places to get good ethnic desserts here in the twin cities area? Please suggest specific desserts if possible. I have already done Mexican and Greek. So skip those, but anything else?

Thanks very much!
