Credit: Bakerella

Do your social networks suffer from a serious lack of raspberry cheesecake cupcakes? Do you yearn to learn new baking recipes during those five minute breaks you take at the office? Then you really should be following some of these notable sugar-slinging bloggers on Twitter.

The recipes and pictures that they post can turn any dull tweet feed into a sugar-addict's paradise, stuffing it with more cakes, cookies and confections than a Food Network marathon – and we think that's awesome.

Just give them a follow and see for yourself.

1. @addapinch

Robyn Stone is the Georgia-based author of the super-popular Add a Pinch blog. She writes about a variety of topics, including interior design, traveling and homeschooling, but her southern-style dessert recipes are a real treat. Our favorite concoctions include her peach syrup and coconut paleo-popsicles. She also does a ton of giveaways and product reviews, which is all the more reason to follow her.

2. @alisonlewis

Alison Lewis is a TV spokesperson, a wellness travel blogger for the Huffington Post and the founder of Healthy Travel Magazine. Her blog, Ingredients Inc., is full of great recipes for natural, organic food that your body will love as much as you do. The "healthy" label might be off-putting to some dessert die-hards, but trust us when we say that you need to try it before you knock it. Her recipe for Baked Alaska should convert even the most fervent disbelievers.

3. @averiecooks

Averie Sunshine started her blog, Averie Cooks in 2009 as a way to share some of her famous baking recipes with friends. Since then it's grown into one of the most delicious recipe resources on the Internet, which prompted Averie to quit her day job and to don the apron full-time. If you want to learn how to bake awesome peanut butter-fluff pancakes or some DIY Cosmic Brownies, this is definitely the woman to follow. You might also be interested in checking out her new cookbook, Peanut Butter Comfort.

4. @bakeanddestroy

It is the coolest – and perhaps only – pro-wrestling themed baking competition on the Internet.

Believe us when we say that this woman can teach you to make cookies look likeanything – from KFC drumsticks to spooky spiderwebs to miniature wedding cakes.

Follow her, and then spend a few hours browsing through Bake at 350's amazing "Cookie Index."_x009d_ You'll be amazed.

6. @bakeorbreak

The popular amateur baking blog Bake or Break is run by southern native and current NYC resident Jennifer McHenry. She's a pro at coming up with classically-inspired "low effort, high reward"_x009d_ recipes for desserts like brandied cherries or chocolate-caramel pudding bars. It should come as no surprise, then, that Bake or Break is a featured member of Martha Stewart's selected network of blogs. If you want to learn how to make something delicious in a pinch, she's definitely the woman to follow.

7. @bakerella

No list of awesome baking bloggers would be complete without including the queen of the cake pops, Angie Dudley of Bakerella. Angie's blog is a virtual encyclopedia for all things baking.

8. @bakingaddiction

Jamie Lothridge is a middle school teacher by day and a very impressive confectionary blogger in the evenings. It's clear that her day-job influences her hobby, though, because her blog My Baking Addiction has evolved into an excellent resource for less-experienced bakers looking to polish up their skills. She publishes a wide variety of lessons and tutorials and even has a section on the site that focuses on teaching amateur chefs how to start their own food blogs.

9. @bakingbites

Nicole Weston is a pastry chef, food writer and recipe developer based in Los Angeles. Her blog, Baking Bites, is quickly rising up the ranks of the cake-blogging hierarchy and the desserts featured on it have recently been mentioned in major publications like The New York Times and The London Times.

10. @browneyedbaker

Michelle Norris is a Pittsburgh native and a firm believer that dessert should always be eaten first. We have to say, we like that philosophy. Her blog, Brown Eyed Baker, features all sorts of recipes for cookies, cakes, bread and other baked goods. She also publishes a lot of "How-To"_x009d_ articles that aspiring cake masters should find incredibly helpful. If you're just getting into the art of baking, we highly recommend checking out her four-part series on how to build and stock a baking pantry.

11. @byEmily

Emily Schuman is the author of the blog (and now book) Cupcakes and Cashmere. The title is based on a mantra Emily came up with to celebrate the little pleasures in life, and the subjects that she Tweets and writes about do just that. Whether it's discussing the merits of plaid, the art of applying sparkly makeup or sharing her family's secret recipe for fantastic peach pie, she's got life's small joys covered – in a big way.

12. @cakejournal

Louise Dueholm and her team of talented Danish bakers provide a wide variety of cake recipes and tutorials on her blog Cake Journal. Though Louise is self-taught, her dessert recipes are nothing short of professional-grade. But don't take our word for it – make some of her dark mocha buttercream frosting for yourself and prepare to be amazed.

13. @cakespy

According to owner Jessie Oleson Moore, Cake Spy is a "Dessert Detective Agency dedicated to seeking sweetness (literally) in everyday life. In other words, it's a really cool cake blog that features recipes, tutorials, confectionary-themed art and more. In addition to being a skilled baker, Jessie is an incredibly talented artist and her accompanying doodles make her blog posts – and tweets – a joy to read. Also, it doesn't hurt that her carrot cupcakes taste heavenly.

14. @cakewrecks

What's there to say about Cake Wrecks that hasn't been said by a legion of bloggers and newspapers already? What started out as a humble Tumblr page has grown into the Internet's leading source for horrible, hilarious cake-making experiments gone awry thanks to the efforts of owner and entrepreneur Jennifer Yates. We guess there's just something about seeing other people's baking catastrophes that makes everyone feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It certainly makes our Twitter feed a lot more entertaining, that's for sure.

15. @candyblog

Cybele May's Candy Blog is what happens when you combine the sugary genius of Willy Wonka with the Internet. The site is a compendium for all things candy-related, including reviews, spotlights, recipes and more. Follow her on Twitter and you'll learn more about candy in a day than most people do in their entire lives. For example, did you know that tennis star Maria Sharapova has her own line of sugary candy tennis balls? Well now you do. If you want to know what they taste like, then head over to the Candy Blog to read the full review.

16. @CannelleVanille

Where should we start with Aran Goyoga? She's a James Beard Award-nominated food blogger, a stylist, a photographer and the author of Small Plates & Sweet Treats. Oh, and she also happens to run a ridiculously popular blog known as Cannelle et Vanille, where she posts recipes for Basque-inspired dishes like strawberry and sheep's milk tarts and lemon, pistachio and millet cakes. We reckon that they taste even better than they sound.

17. @chocablog

There are plenty of twitter accounts that focus on cakes and far too few that focus on the best part of cakes – the chocolate. Luckily, Don Ramsey of Chocablog aims to remedy that. On his blog and twitter feed, Ramsey covers everything that has anything to do with chocolate – from tasting it to cooking with it to purchasing it – and his subjects run the gamut from big-brand chocolates to small-batch artisan confections. Give him a follow and you'll learn to satisfy that chocolate craving in ways you never thought possible.

18. @cookieandkate

Kate Taylor is a vegetarian baker who believes in eating healthy, organic foods. However, this isn't to say her food doesn't taste amazing. While her blog, Cookie and Kate, is beautiful – it was nominated as a finalist for Saveur's Best Cooking Blogs – the photographs of her creations are even more appealing. Her blueberry frozen yogurt looks like something that should be on the Food Network and we can't wait to try making some of her famous banana nut waffles. If her recipes taste half as good as they look, we'll be a very happy candy company.

19. @cupcake_daily

The Cupcake Daily blog publishes – what else? – a new cupcake recipe every day. While other blogs might post recipes more frequently, you'll be hard-pressed to find a site that posts better recipes than this one. Take a moment to examine their recipe for mini cheesecake cupcakes or blue velvet cupcakes with marshmallow icing and you'll see why they're a must-follow on Twitter.

Her zucchini bread tutorial and her peach strawberry smoothies should give you more than a few items to add to your next grocery list.

31. @smittenkitchen

Deb Perelmen started the Smitten Kitchen in 2007 to highlight her culinary adventures in a tiny closet-sized kitchen in New York's East Village.

Steph Cookie is the mastermind behind the popular Aussie baking blog Raspberri Cupcakes. She's breaks from the traditional mold of cake makers by using ingredients like bananas, ginger and rhubarb to create masterful desserts that sound iffy but taste wonderful.

If you've got a sweet tooth and a curious palate, then you should definitely consider giving her a follow.

33. @sugardrama

Sugar Drama is the twitter handle for buttercream addict and Cookies and Cups author Shelly Jaronsky. When she isn't busy being a mom or watching whales of the coast, she makes awesome desserts.

35. @TwoPeasandPod

Maria Lichty and her husband Josh are a couple of chefs who blog together at Two Peas and Their Pod. Many of their recipes offer "healthier"_x009d_ DIY alternatives to the desserts that we love – such as whole grain fruit-filled granola bars and "green"_x009d_ smoothies. While the family-friendly food they create might be lacking in calories, it certainly isn't lacking in taste. After all, there's a reason why Two Peas and Their Pod is currently featured among Babble's Top 100 food blogs.
