Any semi-conscious Instagram users will have noticed that the more chocolate, cream, and cake they put in a photo, the more likes it’s liable to rack up. We all love dessert porn, which is why it’s time to move past the sticky pleasures of @Cinnabon and into the feeds of the country’s most snap-happy pastry chefs.

Some dessert pros, like Cronut creator Dominique Ansel and Lafayette’s Jennifer Yee, have the uncanny ability to capture a humble fruit tart or pain au chocolate the way no one else can. We’ve scoured the ‘grams of sweets specialists from coast to coast and found the few who give followers a crystal clear look into the magic that is the pastry kitchen.

Here’s a baker’s dozen of pastry chef Instagram feeds that every dessert lover needs to follow.

Never mind how beautiful the handmade tiled tables are—the best perch at George Mendes’ airy ode to Portugal is the horseshoe-shaped blackened-steel bar, where rustic feasts begin with sparkling Vinho Verde and a mesmerizing glimpse into the open kitchen. In 2009, when Mendes opened his first restaurant, Aldea, he successfully put little-known Portuguese cuisine in the New York spotlight and convinced guests it was a worthy fine-dining splurge. With Lupulo, Mendes takes a more casual, homespun approach to Iberian cooking with crispy turnovers oozing shrimp jus, charred cucumbers with satiny razor clams, and sunny-side-up eggs cloaking messes of chorizo and green peas. Seafood is the star of Portuguese kitchens, and that’s no exception at here: Cast-iron casseroles of salt cod layered with potatoes and topped with black olives are reason enough to discredit that whole sophomore slump theory.—Alia Akkam
