I will be the first to admit it: I’m a foodie.  If I’m not already eating, I’m thinking about what I will eat next.  And if I’m not already planning what I will eat next, I’m seeking out new recipes and restaurants for later.  That is where Instagram comes in!  Sure, the ‘Food Network’ and Pinterest have some great photographic evidence of the goods, but Instagram is the Monty Python of all Holy Grails.  A gem in its own right, the #Foodstagram section of everyone’s favorite photo-sharing app is the perfect place to discover the cutest, craziest, coolest food creations from around the world.

@Stuffed_Cookies

Whether you like bagels piled high with eggs and cheese, sushi-ritos stuffed with crispy shrimp and rice, or crazy mac and cheese-plus avocado-plus everything-but-the-kitchen-sink hamburgers, Instagram has it all, edited to perfection and waiting for eyes to feast on.  The best food pictures, however, are not the pastas, pizzas and steaks.  The best #Foodstagrams that ever did exist (and let me tell you, that is a tough award to win!) are those that are ooey, gooey, chocolatey, and sweet.  If you love a good cupcake, milkshake, sundae or cookie, check out these six delicious #Foodstagram accounts guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth:

1) @DailyFoodFeed

As the bio suggests, this account is ‘your daily dose of NSFW gluttony,’ and I love every minute of it.  Featuring churros topped with dulce de leche or raspberry jam, four-scoop ice cream cones topped with Fruity Pebbles and Cookie Crisp, and toasted coconut flan donuts (yes, those do exist), Daily Food Feed never fails to send your taste buds into a ‘I need that NOW’ frenzy.

2) @Stuffed_Cookies

You absolutely cannot go wrong with a cookie, and this account takes cookies to a whole new level.  Every cookie combines crazy flavors, and stuffs them with super-sweet fillings.  Among the best are the Captain Crunch-and-rainbow-sprinkle cookies stuffed with marshmallow white chocolate filling, Apple Jack Apple Pie cookies stuffed with cookie butter, and chocolate-covered almond and Snickers cookies stuffed with sea-salted caramel.  And the best part?  You can buy ALL of them from their website, www.stuffed-cookies.com !

3) @FoodintheAir

A great account whether you love sweet or savory, Food in the Air combines beautiful food with beautiful scenery, a winning combination guaranteed to make your mouth water.  If you’re anything like me, their authentic Belgian waffles with chocolate and strawberries, stacks of red velvet cake slices, and crazy s’mores loaded with cookie dough, Kit Kat, marshmallow, Oreo, and sprinkles will have you feeling especially grateful that looking at food doesn’t add a single pound!

4) @ScoopsnBites

Scoops N Bites is an account run by five girls who know all the best places to get frosted, drizzled, and stuffed sugary goodness.  Blueberry pie a la mode, mini cinnamon sugar donuts, unique pumpkin and chai honey ice cream cones, and fresh-made whoopee pies are among their best features, but let’s not forget the regularly posted Georgetown Cupcakes, too!  This account is definitely a one-stop shop for all your sweetest cravings.

5) @HungryBetches

The Hungry Betches may feature some awesome bagel sandwiches, but nothing compares to their sweet desserts.  Mini caramel cheesecakes, rainbow cake balls with white chocolate dip, and crunchy peanut butter crunch bars look as good as they sound on this page, especially when sitting beside cookie dough ice cream sandwiches and pistachio raspberry tarts.  Two words: YES PLEASE.

BONUS: @icecreamking

I have confession to make… Of all the desserts in all the land, ice cream is my number one weakness.  So much so, in fact, that I had to extend this list from the five best accounts to six, because I just could not stand to leave out the Ice Cream King, himself.  Closing out the list, this account features GIANT cones piled high with cookie crumbs and sprinkles, funfetti cake ice cream sandwiches, and next-level choco tacos with nuts, chocolate chips, fruit, and four different flavored scoops.  My personal favorite, however, is the blue and purple soft serve topped with caramel corn and a giant toasted marshmallow, circled with a fluffy cotton candy ring to protect the glorious cone.  Doesn’t get much better than that!

Now that I have equipped you with all the proper tools to search the wonders of the Instagram, get out there and get looking.  Trust me, your sweet tooth will thank you!
