Could of different issues here: First, you horizon is a bit tilted, so it looks a bit off kilter. And many times a shot can be better simply by moving your subject farther away from your background. Also, I think your color looks a little off -- the whipped cream has a definite blue tinge to it. Other than that, the dessert looks delicious! :)

It looks delicious! Overall it's nicely lit and photographed and has good colors, but the presentation is fairly plain. The pattern in the wallpaper only serves to distract from the subject.

Woods? Lovely images, very restful both individually and as a composite. I like the narrow crops here, giving us just a slice of each space and suggesting maybe the height of the trees. Voted earlier.

Voted earlier coming back to comment now.

Love the presentation of the colorful fruits in the tapered glass. Whipped cream is laid on good and thick with a strawberry on top to finish it off. The prep and presentation 'on the plate' of the dessert if pleasing to the eye. The areas that need work to improve the appeal of the overall photo composition is lighting and choice of backdrop/ground plane. First off the lighting is not evenly balanced throughout the composition resulting in deep harsh shadows thrown on the backdrop and some glaring 'hotspots' highlights on the berries in the glass on the top right and a bit on the strawberry on top. Two lights, one on either side a few feet away could even out the exposure, use of natural light streaming in from a window so that it is diffused or even a light tent (some easy and inexpensive how to make ones are online). The choice of backdrop and setting which the main subject appears in/on can either compliment the image or detract. The light grain and striped texture of the wood distracts attention away from your main focus. A deep dark wood or wood with no texture stripes would be better in that it would not call attention away from the image. The backdrop also suffers from this in that it does not add anything to the dessert other than call attention away from it. The focus should stay on your main subject with all other elements be supporting cast that helps add mood or complementing it in subtle ways.

Fruit looks good here! The skewed table is somewhat disturbing.
