10 Instagram Worthy Desserts For The Novice Baker

Named Best Kids Book of 2018 by Red Tricycle!

There are currently more than 28 million delicious and awe-inspiring photos on Instagram with the hashtag #dessert. The more fantastic a photo, the more apt it is to be liked and passed along to others, which is the ultimate goal of the poster, and some of the best flattery for a pastry chef. As Crazy, extravagant, over-the-top desserts have hit social media running. You just can’t escape your Instagram feed without swiping past that fancy cotton candy milkshake or mouth-watering cookie shot. For those dessert lovers out there, so check out below for 10 of the best instagram accounts you need to be following!

Cause after all what would Instagram be, if not for food shots? Or more importantly, dessert shots? (Tbh, probably just a lot of selfies and shelf-ies.) It’s a platform that has taken the foodie-craze to soaring heights of social celebrity; generating not only food-famous accounts, but also creating mass fan-hysteria around specific items (ever heard of the Cronut?) And because of this, our feeds remain flooded with snaps of sensational sweets — racking up thousands, upon thousands of likes, and hundreds of comments on the reg. We’ve become so entranced by the visual splendor of these shots and their social representation, that the act of actually consuming them can ultimately wind up getting lost.

Cue my confession: I am a novice baker and self-proclaimed foodie — but before now, I had never eaten a Cronut. Why? Because I felt that in many ways (through my Insta-feed) that I’d really already had my fill. And also because (if I’m being really honest) I had written the mania around these trendy treats off as #basic — quietly choosing not to partake. But in reality, I’m not above #eatingforthegram (sorry, not sorry). So I put my pride aside and decided it was high time that I took some initiative to get intimately involved with these sugary stars.

So here’s my top 10 Insta-worthy desserts! Follow, Like and share these gorg treats!
