Whoa... they must be a couple!

Dates and sweets go together. And in anime, at least, the sweet of choice for sweethearts is the crêpe: fried dough rather like a thin pancake, folded with cream or other fillings in the middle and various toppings. For maximum Ship Tease, they'll take a bite of one another's crêpes, or even lick each other's crepes off each other's faces, thus completing an Indirect Kiss.

Compare to Sweetheart Sipping for the beverage version of this trope. Spaghetti Kiss is the common American (and slightly naughtier) variant. Despite the fruit's naturally sweet flavor, said crêpes rarely use dates as filling.

Absolutely no relation to Date Rape.

Axis Powers Hetalia fanfic Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità : Let's just say Germany wanted to turn an outing with Italy into a date, and thought dessert would help. Germany: "Have some tiramisu." The brunet turned as the blond approached on his right, holding up a fluffy layered dessert which appeared to be dipped in coffee on a plate, a spoon beside it.

Literature

With crêpes being widely popular across Europe and somewhat of a national dish for the French and the Dutch, it's no surprise that it turns up in the Young Adult novel Postcards From No Man's Land by Aiden Chambers when the young arrival from England, Jacob Todd, goes on a date with a Dutch girl who introduces him to different flavors and the Dutch word for cinnamon. The scene gets a Meaningful Echo at the end when all of its subtle innuendo becomes an outright proposition for sex.
