>>19992927dessert forks are smaller because dessert portions are smaller and you don't want to finish your cake in 5 forkfulls. smaller fork means it's easier to also have fewer prongs. also cake forks are supposed to have one of the outer prongs be wider/sturdier/sharpened to better work as a "knife" so you can "cut" off a piece of the dessert by holding it sideways. op fork seems to just have wider outer prongs
