Jilly's Named Top Pick by 'USA Today'

The cupcake shop that recently expanded to Des Peres is one of the top 10 places in the country to get a gourmet cupcake, according to USA Today.

St. Louis' own Jilly's Cupcake Bar was named one of the top 10 places in the U.S. to get a gourmet cupcake by USA Today. Justin Willman, host of Cupcake Wars on Food Network, shared his favorite cupcakes from his travels. Tops on his list is Jilly's Reese's Chunkage, a half-pound cupcake. According to Willman, the cupcake is filled with peanut butter mousse and chocolate fudge ganache, topped with peanut butter and chocolate butter cream, and finished with chunks of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. "It's pretty epic," he said in the story. Earlier this year, the beloved cupcake shop expanded to Des Peres. For the full selection of Jilly's cupcakes, visit www.jillyscupcakebar.com.
