St. Louis Good Eats: Jilly's Cupcake Bar



The delicious weekend in St. Louis was topped off by a visit to Jilly's Cupcake Bar.  I confess, even though I am a healthy eater, I LOVE sweets, especially cupcakes.  We stopped by Jilly's and picked up a box of sin for the road.  We sampled the following cupcakes:  Bee Sting (honey lemon curd stuffed), Penguin (dark chocolate stuffed with vanilla cream cheese), Twisted Red Velvet and Key Lime Pie.  If you are a frosting lover, then these are the ultimate cupcake for you since there is almost as much frosting as there is cake and it is beyond super delicious.  The cakes were moist, the stuffings were exceptional but the actual cakes lacked any flavor besides bland. 

The staff there is friendly and helpful, but the prices are something else:  cupcakes range from $4.75 to $5.50.  I don't recommend ordering lunch there as it is a little overpriced and slow.  Overall, I think the cupcake experience was worth it because I am a frosting girl.  It's worth the trip to see the beautiful cupcakes and experience the place once.  If you can't get to St. Louis, you can order them for delivery here.
