A kennel can also be where a dog is kept, whether by the owners or as a hotel.

I guess it's technically "cream-filled," since the whole thing is basically just cream, but it doesn't fit the clue as well as cannoli.

I'd agree on panna cotta. It literally means cooked cream.... You can't get a dessert that's fuller of cream than that!

Anise, while stated in the clue, is also an herb, just like fennel. Aniseed to be technical. So perhaps you might want to say licorice flavor with yellow flowers. Also a perennial is a PLANT that lives for more than two years, it doesn't have to necessarily be a flower.

Anise only has one n.

Can you add some alternative spellings for "whinny"? I mean it's an onomatopoeia anyway so as long as it sounds out correctly then it should be accepted. Winnie, Winny, or winnee even perhaps?

Millennia is plural - and it asks for just one thousand years, not many multiples of it, so it is incorrect.

To be precise cannoli are not filled with cream at all.

The original sicilian cannoli recipe wants them to be filled with a mixture of sheep's ricotta (don't know if "cottage cheese" is a correct translation of "ricotta") and sugar (+chocolate drops if you like them). Honestly, this is better than any cream filling you might think of.

I agree with the comment above. Cannoli should be filled with ricotta and mascarpone plus sugar and other (usually sweet) ingredients - the filling is therefore 'creamy' but is not cream. On the other hand, panna cotta is actually made of cream and also contains double n.

There is a small fish called a blenny.
