RESTAURANTS BEING INNOVATIVE and cutting edge is always something to be welcomed – but they can take it too far.

With thanks to Twitter crusaders @WeWantPlates, who are actively fighting these horrors on a daily basis, the following desserts contain some understandably NSFW language:

1. This absolute mess

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

The slow move of the ice cream to the edge would make you anxious.

2. This… this makes no sense
