The most important part of every vacation is the desserts, especially for someone with a sweet tooth. But even more important than that is the food's aesthetic, am I right?! Now, I can't attest to trying all these desserts/going to all these places, but if I haven't tried it, I made sure that when you do that they will be picture-freakin'-perfect. From Orlando to Miami, here are the top ten most delicious-looking and Instagram-worthy treats to try during your next vacation to the overly-sunshiney Sunshine State.
1. Love Boat Ice Cream - Fort Myers Beach

I figured I'd start with a Fort Myers dessert legend. This place is never not-poppin', and the atmosphere is almost as aesthetic as the oversized cones of ice cream they hand you. I can personally attest to the deliciousness of this one!
2. Sprinkles Cupcakes - Disney Springs

This is one of my go-to dessert places in Disney Springs - the cupcakes are always delicious, plus, you can literally order them from a Cupcake ATM which is the perfect backdrop for that Insta-worthy cupcake pic.
3. Voodoo Doughnut - Universal Citywalk

If you're already in Orlando, you might as well hit up this donut shop in Universal's Citywalk. I've personally never been there, but the donuts look mouth-watering and there is no way they wouldn't fit in perfectly with an aesthetic feed!
4. Bocas House Milkshakes - Miami

Um, these milkshakes are INSANE. I might live in Florida, but this place is still on my bucket list! I don't know if I'm more excited to take pictures or try these shakes!
5.Yoder's Pies - Sarasota

This classic Amish restaurant has the most delicious pies you could ever imagine! If you're on a classic Sarasota shopping spree, I highly recommend stopping in to try these scrumptious pies!
6. Twistee Treat - Tarpon Springs

If you happen to pass through the quaint Downtown Tarpon Springs area that is infused with the vivacious Greek culture and an innumerable amount of Instagram-worthy picture spots, I suggest stopping in at Twistee Treat! The building is literally an ice cream cone, and the actual ice cream tastes even better than the always-busy aesthetic of this cute, side-of-the-road shoppe!
7. The Hyppo - Hyde Park (Tampa)

If you're trying to find a lighter treat, and are in the beautiful Hyde Park area of Tampa, I'd stop in at The Hyppo. Their fruity, colorful popsicles will match perfectly with whatever cool wall you happen to wonder upon on your next Tampa adventure!
8. Barton G & The Dolla Dolla Bills Dessert - Miami Beach

Um, this dessert is INSANE. If you happen to be in Miami, be prepared to pay a pretty penny, but in return get this wickedly-awesome looking dessert and an Instagram feed that will soar to the NEXT LEVEL.
9. Norman Love Confections - Fort Myers

Maybe donuts, milkshakes, ice cream, and dolla dolla bills aren't your thing - well, I suggest taking a trip down to Fort Myers to get a variety of decadent, mouthwatering chocolates! With an abundance of flavors, colors, and shapes, these small chocolates will look great in Florida's impeccable "golden-hour" lighting.
10. Dole Whip - Disney World's Magic Kingdom

This ice cream is a Florida AND a Disney classic! The classic pineapple is the way to go, in my opinion, but now they have orange, vanilla, and raspberry flavors to swirl with it! And to post this IN Disney World - let's just say, your Florida vacation will be top-notch, for sure!
