× Sweet thing is always my favorite but I really love having them.
✓ Sweet things are always my favorite but I really love having them.
The phrase 'Sweet thing' should be plural 'Sweet things' to match the plural pronoun 'them'. Also, the verb should be 'are' to agree with the plural subject. This is a singular and plural agreement issue.
× I eat almost all kind of cakes like currant cake, plum cake, vanilla cake, or a sponge carrot cake.
✓ I eat almost all kinds of cakes like currant cake, plum cake, vanilla cake, or a sponge carrot cake.
The phrase 'all kind of cakes' should be 'all kinds of cakes' because 'kinds' is plural when referring to multiple types. This is a singular and plural issue.
× It is usually a very soft and smooth well poured sponge which is a very fluffier as compared to our normal sponges.
✓ It is usually a very soft and smooth well-poured sponge which is much fluffier compared to our normal sponges.
The word 'fluffier' is a comparative adjective and should not be preceded by 'a very'. Also, 'well poured' should be hyphenated as 'well-poured' to function as a compound adjective. The phrase 'as compared to' is better expressed as 'compared to'. This is an incorrect use of adjectives and adverbs.
× I usually prefer currant cake, plum cake, plain sponge as well as different type of cheesecakes.
✓ I usually prefer currant cake, plum cake, plain sponge as well as different types of cheesecakes.
The phrase 'different type of cheesecakes' should be 'different types of cheesecakes' because 'types' is plural when referring to multiple varieties. This is a singular and plural issue.
× When I was young, even on the festival of Eid where we are visiting our relatives, we ate different type of cakes that we have decorate.
✓ When I was young, even on the festival of Eid when we visited our relatives, we ate different types of cakes that we had decorated.
The phrase 'different type of cakes' should be 'different types of cakes' for plural agreement. Also, 'have decorate' is incorrect; it should be 'had decorated' to match past tense. This correction addresses singular/plural and past tense issues.
× When I was young, even on the festival of Eid where we are visiting our relatives, we ate different type of cakes that we have decorate.
✓ When I was young, even on the festival of Eid when we visited our relatives, we ate different types of cakes that we had decorated.

× It always gives us a new experience and a new taste from different houses.
✓ It always gives us new experiences and new tastes from different houses.
The nouns 'experience' and 'taste' should be plural 'experiences' and 'tastes' because multiple experiences and tastes are implied. This is a singular and plural issue.
× I really enjoy eating cake in my festival.
✓ I really enjoy eating cake at my festival.
The phrase 'in my festival' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'at' for events. Also, 'cake' can be singular here if referring to cake in general, so no plural correction needed. This is an incorrect use of prepositions issue.
× I really enjoy eating cake in my festival.
✓ I really enjoy eating cake at my festival.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to festivals or events; 'at' is the correct preposition to use. This is an incorrect use of prepositions issue.

This sentence is grammatically correct with no singular/plural issues.
× I usually eat a small piece of dessert, but still it is important in my meal.
✓ I usually eat a small piece of dessert, but it is still important in my meal.

× I usually eat a small piece of dessert, but still it is important in my meal.
✓ I usually eat a small piece of dessert, but it is still important in my meal.
The adverb 'still' should be placed after the verb 'is' for correct adverb placement and natural sentence flow.
