Piége
This title in French is name of a dessert, I enjoyed today. The word means "trap" in English. I didn’t understand why the patissier named that "trap". But the dessert was really good so I was satisfied.
このフランス語のタイトルは、今日私が楽しんだ(食べた)デザートの名前だ。この単語は英語で罠と言う意味らしい。パティシエはなんでこの名前にしたのか正直わからなかった。でもとても美味しくて、わたしは大満足だ。
Piége
This entry's title ins the French is name of a dessert, I enjoyed today.
The word means "trap" in EnglisFrench.
I didn’t understand why the paâtissier named thae dessert "trap"."
But the dessert was really good, so I was satisfied.
I think that instead of "really good," the word "delicious" would work better here.

I agree with the other changes, but the original quotation mark placement is acceptable under the conventions of British English, which generally places quotation marks that do not belong to the quote outside of it.

I'm not quite sure I get what you're saying. You said British English places "quotation marks that do not belong to the quote outside of it." Did you mean punctuation marks?
If so, I was unaware, since I learned English punctuation in the United States. Teachers usually told me this was incorrect. Thank you for the correction, and I'll note it for the future.

Sorry for the typo! You're right, I did indeed mean punctuation marks.

Yes, I'm American, so this difference throws me a little sometimes! I agree with all the above corrections...and it is a little confusing why they chose that name for the bakery ;)

Good, pretty accurate! I will note though that the word is written "piège" (though I'm guessing that the pâtissier wrote it as "piége") and really means "trap" in French, rather than English.

Thanks. You're right! I miss the word "piège"
