This study was conducted to investigate the general utilization and preference for the western desserts from confectioneries and hotels by the female university students in Seoul and Kyunggi area. The most high frequency of utilizing western desserts from confectioneries was 1∼3 times a month. Five items of confectionary dessert (chocolate, jelly, candy, cookie and ice cream) were preferred by house-dwellers and non-food science majors. And the families with higher income favoured chocolate and pie. The purchasing frequency of western desserts from confectionery was far more frequent in jelly and candy(1∼3 times a week) compared with chocolate, pies and cookies(1∼3 times a month) and sherbet and ice cream(1∼4 times a year). Hotel was used less frequently for purchasing western desserts. Cake was recognized well as a western dessert by the house-dwellers, and ice cream was recognized better by the apartment-dwellers (p<0.05). And the respondents with food science major had a wider preference for cake, pudding and ice cream(p<0.05).
