Time for the Dessert!

Question

The answer is one word.

Hint 1:

I've added a "cipher" tag.

Hint 2:

Had I been content with less mouth-watering desserts, I could have used this pic for the top middle slot:

After seeing all this, the only word which comes to mind is food :D — ABcDexter, Dec 12 '18 at 17:23
@ABcDexter Admittedly it might not have been wise to put together this puzzle the first thing in the morning (my time), now all I can think of is food :-) — Mariia Mykhailova, Dec 12 '18 at 19:11

The answer is

LIQUOR

Because each image

resembles a letter from the maritime signal flag alphabet!

+1 Wow, I would've never thought of this. Also props for OP pretty accurate images, now that I saw rot13(gur bevtvany syntf). – S. M. Dec 14 '18 at 09:24

Yeah, finding the right images took forever - but then, it's not terribly painful looking at hundreds of pictures of glorious desserts picking just the right one :-) – Mariia Mykhailova Dec 14 '18 at 18:16

Partial:
Image 1:

Apparently this is a chocolate and vanilla Battenberg Cake, which I have never heard of before. Looks like there is some sort of raspberry (presumably) jelly or something to glue the pieces together.

2:

Uhh... I'm not too familiar with macaroons to begin with, but at least the little one on top appears to be a macaroon. So, what's the big ol' base and the cookie halves for? Plus, there's just ONE blueberry... And what is that black thing? Makes it look like a candle pastry!

3:

A mango dome entremet OR a mango mousse dome? What?

4:

Another battenberg cake, but this time white chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla (I think).

5:

Cut/sliced mango and strawberries.

6:

This is nifty looking. I guess it's a well done raspberry and (white) chocolate (or, maybe it's fondant, however that's actually spelled) sponge cake.

How this all relates:

Hah! No idea other than them all being forms of deserts. (Well 5 is only fruit you say. Well fruit can be considered desert, probably more commonly so outside of the states I say).
(Note, I forgot about the title. Yeah, they're deserts. Great observation.)

These observations are fairly accurate but don't really help you... — Mariia Mykhailova, Dec 12 '18 at 21:54
Indeed. I had hoped that figuring out what each thing was would help, but that didn't pan out. Had considered deleting the answer all-together. Still might. — Dorrulf, Dec 12 '18 at 22:11
I don't know if it's relevant at all, but the cookies on 2 are macarons, not macaroons. Confusingly, a macaroon is also a type of cookie but is entirely different :) — Briar Harrison, Dec 12 '18 at 22:31

Er, yes, that's the title of the puzzle :-) Not the answer. – Mariia Mykhailova Dec 13 '18 at 02:09
I notice that the top picture row had a sponge like in common, and the bottom row was fruits. Not sure if that related – Mukyuu Dec 13 '18 at 02:15

Not related, no. – Mariia Mykhailova Dec 13 '18 at 02:52
