You don´t have to worry about food safety with most desserts. The amount of sugar in most of them will help prevent bacterial growth. BUT - if a dessert has cream cheese in it, or uncooked eggs (pasteurized only, please) the food should be left out at room temperature for no more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the temperature is above 90 degrees.
