Thanksgiving's here and while the centerpiece of the dinner spread might be the turkey, desserts are equally crucial to making it the perfect family holiday.

In the spirit of ensuring that the family gets just the right kind of sweetness in the meal, Enstars rounded up some of the best desserts on food blogs this season.

There are always the classics one can rely on like the old-fashioned apple pie, carrot cake, Southern peach cobbler, pumpkin cookies, and pecan pie.

But as alternative menus and recipes are being whipped up for people who choose to eat healthy and vegans too, there desserts that taste just as delicious sans the fattening ingredients.

Fashion & Style has a promising recipe for pumpkin cake, the eggless dessert is perfect for vegans, health freaks and most importantly people who are short on time. This is a quick recipe and serves most purposes.

Delish has put togthere a list of unconventional, non traditional desserts for those who might want to spice things up this season. The list features exciting desserts like the maple-mousse pie with candied cranberries and peppermint bark.

And for those who are willing to go the extra, extra mile and put in some effort try out Saveur's "unexpected Thanksgiving desserts" featuring dishes like Crepes Cajeta and the sinfully delightful sweet potato cake soaked in marshmallowy meringue icing.

But Martha Stewart has some deliciously decadent richness for people who don't mind putting on a few pounds to celebrate once a year. Stewart has lined up desserts like the salted caramel six layered chocolate cake and maple-walnut cake with brown-sugar frosting.

Food and Wine also follows suit with its pumpkin cake with caramel-cream cheese frosting.
