If you spend much of your days endlessly scrolling through social media, then you’ve probably oohed and aahed over tons of photos of various desserts on Instagram. (Spoiler alert: I’m guilty of this, too!) The best part? We don’t need to just keep daydreaming of these delectable treats — we can order them and have them delivered straight to our homes!
From melt-in-your-mouth cheesecakes to ooey gooey cookies and chocolate cakes, here’s a list of desserts on Instagram you’ll definitely want to try for yourself:
A level up from your ordinary cheesecake, this Spanish dessert is lighter, creamier, and crustless — perfect for those who usually find themselves wishing for more cheese and less crust. Decadenza Baking’s basque burnt cheesecake offers the perfect balance of flavour, with its burnt, caramelised top and creamy filling. Once you take your first bite, you’ll understand just why it’s been one of the best-loved desserts on Instagram these past few months!
Decadenza’s cakes are available in 7-inch and 9-inch sizes. Can’t handle commitment? Opt for their mini basque burnt cheesecakes, a.k.a. chupcakes — no sharing required! (You’ll want them all to yourself, anyway.)
For more information, check out Decadenza Baking’s official Instagram page.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned during quarantine, it’s that everyone goes crazy for ube-flavoured treats. Besides all the different kinds of ube cheese pandesal being sold on Instagram, Mad Batter Co.’s ube white chunk cookies deserve just as much (if not more) of your attention!
These chewy, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are loaded with chunks of ube halaya and white chocolate — a perfect pairing we never even knew we needed. Choose between a box of six or a box of 12, and get them delivered to your doorstep while they’re still warm from the oven. (*Drooling.*) Prepare to discover just what ube-filled dreams are actually made of!

Know what’s even more satisfying than buying yourself a beautifully made cake? Taking a bite and discovering that it’s just as good as it looks! We love that The Good Carrot’s carrot cake is less sinful than your average dessert, plus that each and every bite is absolutely moist (and topped with delicious cream cheese frosting).
Take your pick between their 5-inch, 7-inch, or 9-inch cakes — or opt for their carrot cupcakes! The cupcakes are available in boxes of four or six. Whatever you choose, trust that they’ll be wiped out before you know it!

Leche flan and cheesecake: delectable on their own, and even more scrumptious together. Who knew they were a match made in heaven, right? We have Nikita’s Pastries to thank for the genius innovation that is lecheesecake — a combination of decadent cheesecake and some of the creamiest leche flan you’ll ever have. Without question, it’s one of the most unique (and tempting) desserts we’ve discovered on Instagram.
Nikita’s Pastries’ lecheesecake cups are perfect for gifting to your loved ones on special occasions — or, you know, just for merienda. Get them in boxes of six or 12. They’ll go perfectly well with your afternoon coffee!

Chocolate lovers, your search for the best chocolate cake in Manila ends here. Definitely one of the most mouth-watering desserts on Instagram, Big AL’s Cookie Jar’s decadent chocolate is rich, super moist, and as chocolatey as can be. And yes, it’s the type that’ll practically have your eyes rolling into the back of your head.
Big AL’s best-selling cake is available in four different sizes, so you’ll definitely be able to find one that fits any and every occasion. Bonus: They have another version of this cake that’s topped with caramel sauce, too!

Another of those underrated ube desserts on Instagram: this beautiful ube cheese bibingka from Bibingka Manila. It’s the kind of treat that you’d like to gobble up in one sitting, while also wishing you’d still have a lot saved for later. You know what we mean, right?
Sold in boxes of six, Bibingka Manila’s mini ube cheese bibingkas are made with ube-flavoured rice cakes, stuffed with ube halaya, and topped with cheese. You’ll want to savour every single bite!

Yet another combo we’re loving: cream cheese and fudgy chocolate. Macarose’s cream cheese brownies will undoubtedly hit the spot for self-confessed chocoholics — especially those who prefer their brownies moist and just the right amount of sweet.
Get yourself a half box (18) pieces or a whole box (36 pieces) of these chewy, chocolatey treats! The best part? They’re available at very wallet-friendly prices!

Ever heard of kladdkaka before? If you haven’t, then we’re pretty sure this glorious chocolate cake won’t be able to leave your mind from here on out. The great news is we know just where to get it: Wknd Bakes.
Kladdkaka is a Swedish dessert that literally translates to “sticky cake.” While it’s crisp on the outside, this gooey chocolate cake melts in your mouth the moment you bite into it! Wknd Bakes offers a 7-inch kladdkaka that’s good for up to six people. (But honestly, we’d like one whole for each of us!)
For more information, check out Wknd Bakes’s official Instagram page.
S’mores — and in cookie form? How could anyone with a sweet tooth say no to this, really? Bites by Crumble’s s’mores cookies will have you abandoning any plans of going on a diet. They’re basically marshmallow-stuffed chocolate chip cookies sandwiched in between Graham crackers and Hershey’s chocolates. And with that, need we say more?
These s’mores cookies come in boxes of 12 or 16. Spoiler alert: A single box won’t even last a whole day in your kitchen! (Make sure the other people in your household don’t steal your share.)

Bread lovers, don’t miss this: Without question, The Braidy Buns’ braided cinnamon buns are among the cutest desserts we’ve been seeing on Instagram. And yes, they taste just as good as they look! To level up your dessert experience, order a side of Mexican hot chocolate. Not a fan of chocolate? Opt for their classic cream cheese dip instead!
More than just their scrumptious, beautifully made buns, we love that The Braidy Buns also helps raise funds for a valuable cause. In their first week alone, they raised ₱10,000 for an organisation called Cancer Coalition PH. All the more reason to get your braided cinnamon bun fix!
