This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at K State chapter.

I’ll admit it: I have a raging sweet tooth and a love for desserts. If you’re anything like me, donut are a good way to treat your self and make any morning (or afternoon, evening, midnight … ) a little sweeter. Here are the best Instagram accounts to follow if you want some more donut pics in your life.

Varisty Donuts is an in-person favorite for K-State students and other Manhattan, Kansas dwellers, but their social media feed looks just as good from afar. Varsity likes to share their customers’ photos, pictures of their classic purple K-Stater donuts and their creative specialty treats, like April Fools Day-exclusive “spaghetti and meatballs” donut.

2. @birdiesdtla

If you want some savory with your sweet, Birdies in downtown Los Angeles serves up chicken sandwiches and assorted donuts, and they share it all on their Instagram. Birdies is also home to the coveted $100 gold-covered donut featured in BuzzFeed’s “Worth It” series. Talk about #bougie snack goals.
