One flavor of ice cream available? Not a good starting sign!…read more Now I didn't get as many outdoor pictures this weekend as I had intended... but that's what happens when I heatwave happens in the middle of nowhere right? (But at least I remembered the food photo this time! So I"m not totally on dementia notice yet :) ) But I was having one of those goof-off days, (sorta) spent more than I should have at the World Market (I can't help it! The Sasume soft drinks -ALWAYS- Get me! (the Greatest Japanese invention ever :) ) So I'm REALLY needing Ice-cream. but i mean real ice cream. Then I remembered this place I promised myself I would stop in.. Jilly's. Driven past it a few times, saw it had once gotten a USA today recommendation, and the big sign had "cupcakes, ice cream and coffee" written right there. Go in and there's not really a vibe to the place. There is an ice cream counter and a cup-cake counter, and a couple of soda fridges. The problem is.. I'm going in wanting ice cream, make my way over ot check and there's ONLY ONE tub in the entire case with anything in it. And it's BUTTER PECAN??? I swear, maybe i just need to lower my expectations or something? But then how do I be the best "Yelpee" i can be? Anyway enough about the introspective for now. So I'm here, let's see what else we can have problems with today, shall we? The "coke" fridge has a limited supply of drinks.. I guess the stockers hadn't run yet today? (so -1 star for no ice cream/drinks). Well, it's a heatwave, so coffee's out. and that just leaves Cupcakes.... and wow.. these things are HUGE! And that's just the cupcake, that's not counting the icing on top! Basically, two entirely different layers.. one for the cake and one for the frosting.. (talk about a sugar coma!) Anyway, time to take a pack of 4 to go... (the sit down locale wasn't really much to my recollection, it just seemed "there" as if this wasn't a good day as I don't' recall a lot of the amenities as shown in most Yelpers photos., or I was just too hot to notice. ). so it's grab and go... And I realize, just looking at them; this is not one of those deserts you can eat and drive, so maybe a full sealed rack is a good thing right?) I make it home and wouldn't you know it; I forgot that cupcakes were actually "Stuffed".. Surprise!! 3 deserts in one! Cake, Filling, and Icing! Anyway, I don't even make it all the way through the first cupcake as a whole before I realize... Yep, Sugar Coma all the way! Basically, you've been warned you can order more than 1 cupcake to yourself, but count on leftovers if you do!! Anyway, I finally snapped out of my sugar coma and got around to writing things before i go for another sugar coma (dont' forget, I ordered 4 cupcakes!!). So yes these things are huge and they are priced a little more than usual cupcakes, but absolutely worth every penny So IRONICALLY, if i had gone in for Cupcakes alone... this would be a 5* review. As I was originally going for ice cream (And am so OVER butter pecan), 4 *'s it is at least for me. but we've given you the steps to get your own 5* time at Jilly's!

Every flavor we tasted was so full of flavor, most, and the sweetness was not overpowering. Do not sleep on this place. You'd be crazy to do so.

Cute little bakery!…read more After eating breakfast, I was craving something sweet so I decided to stop in at Bello's. This place is nestled away in a little strip and if you blink, you could miss it. I was blown away at everything they had to offer and wasn't sure where to start. I ended up getting three mini cookies: the thumbprint (pink), parelle (stars), and non-parelle. Each were unique with their own flavor but were just what I needed for a little pick-me-up. The pink cookie had bits of pecan and while I'm not a huge pecan fan in general, I didn't mind it! The other two were more shortbreadish in taste, but still had their own unique flavor. I think they have something for everyone depending on what you're looking for. The workers were incredibly friendly and the pricing was fair, but less than what I was expecting to pay. I get my nails done in the area, so I can already see this place being my go-to for snacks!

My personal favorites are their donuts and danishes -- both are consistently delicious. This visit, I decided to try one of their cookies. While it wasn't quite as standout as some of their other items, it was still fresh and well made. I also noticed several beautiful cakes being picked up while I was there, so that's definitely next on my list to try. Service is always a 5 star!

If you haven't stopped into Federhofer's yet, you're missing one of St. Louis' sweetest traditions.

Have also tried different cake slices and their Bon Bons which zu really liked as well, except the caramel Bon Bons which seemed raw but we were told they put syrup in them which made sense for the texture we got but those were not a favorite. There is a lot to choose from in this cute little shop. The service is good but I would recommend knowing what you want before you go in terms of size and design as when we ordered our cake, my questions seemed to burden him and he did not really answer them at all. However, he wasn't rude or unfriendly , just not overly helpful either. Pricing is very reasonable as well.

She can do any flavor imaginable! 1st cake was ordered in September. My daughter is very specific on what she wants lol. She went with the Summer I turned pretty theme of course. I bought the seashells on Amazon and had the bakery add it to the cake. This is where it gets interesting....my daughter wanted strawberry cake with pineapple filling and for the sand to be biscoff crumbs (we love biscoff)! Let me tell you!!! The cake was so delicious! Not only did every guest actually wanted a piece but for once the entire cake was gone with no leftovers . 2nd cake I ordered it in October for my son's 21st birthday. She loves Biscoff as much as we do so she asked for a biscoff cake and that cake was also so good!!! My son who wasn't a biscoff fan became a fan. 3rd cake is in order for Jan. 14th so I'll update it with more pictures

Six-Plus Stars for Helfer's Bakery -- Five Just Aren't Enough!…read moreHelfer's Bakery was phenomenal from beginning to end! They were incredibly easy to work with, and our baker, Jamie, was wonderful. She listened to what we envisioned for our daughter's wedding and helped create a wedding cake that exceeded every expectation. That was so important to us since the bride and groom were not in town. And the cake itself? Absolutely delicious! Our guests at the wedding are still raving about it. It was moist, flavorful, and some of the best wedding cake anyone has ever tasted. Each layer was a different flavor--from traditional to chocolate, and every single one was a hit. The design was an absolute masterpiece - elegant, beautiful, and truly a work of art. Helfer's also made the wedding day so easy for us. They delivered the cake to Innsbrook, Missouri, set everything up beautifully, and coordinated with the florist to ensure the florals were perfectly placed. That attention to detail meant so much to us. I cannot recommend Helfer's Bakery highly enough for a wedding cake or any special occasion. Beautiful, delicious, professional, and exceptional service from start to finish. Six-plus stars because five simply aren't enough!

There is a parking lot on the side of the building, and on the street as well. Once you enter the inside, the smell of fresh baked goods hit you in the nose. They have a display case with all of the bakery items they have for sell. You can look straight ahead and see the kitchen area and staff making fresh goods. Staff were friendly and attentive, and made recommendations on items to try. I ordered an iced vanilla latte, a butter pecan cookie and a vanilla butter pecan cupcake. The vanilla latte was smooth, creamy and not too sweet. Their syrups are house made. The butter pecan cookie tasted exactly like butter pecan ice cream. It was soft and chewy, with a hint of salt on top to taste, and had a pecan placed on top. That was probably one of the best butter pecan cookies I've ever had. (Perfect cookie for the fall)
