Instagram Worthy Desserts

With social media on the rise and smartphones more popular than ever, your food needs more than just to taste good — it has to look good, for Instagram that is. A picture is worth a thousand words, and nowadays, if you don’t capture your gastronomically delicious and appealing dessert, you didn’t eat it in the first place.

Foodies understand the traditional bowl of ice cream doesn’t cut it. From animal pastries to flower petal gelatos to Froot Loop-covered donuts, the dessert scene is changing. New York City especially is known for its extravagant and lavish desserts and restaurants.

Here are some of the top NYC Instagram-worthy desserts.

Milkshakes from Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer: It’s worth the three-hour wait, because making your own won’t be as beautiful as the original.

Cereal Milk Ice Cream from Momofuku Milk Bar: Without sprinkles, it’s just a picture of vanilla ice cream.

Donut Ice Cream Sandwich from Holey Cream: Hopefully this doesn’t leave you with a cavity, although it’s worth it.

Waffle Ice Cream Cone from Wowfulls: Just WOW.
