After a day at the ballfield where it seemed more like summer than spring, we headed for the pizza place. I recently heard about Jilly's Cupcakery off of Windward/Hwy 9 in Alpharetta and thought today was the perfect day to take the kids over for dessert and check it out.
(pictured above: Birthday Cake (partially demolished) and a limited edition Irish cupcake (available for special order) that was amazing: Chocolate Guinness Cake with an Irish cream frosting and Chocolate ganache drizzle- yum!)
Now some people's resolutions may have been to get more exercise. For a die-hard sweet tooth after my first visit to Jilly's, mine is to try every last one (and additional incentive to exercise)! Cupcakes are so great- it's perfect portion control (if 3 inches of frosting is a portion ;). You lose some of the guilt of indulging.. and indulgence it is!
Ultimate chocolate:
I am still hoping my son will learn to get food in his mouth, but I think the problem is he's in such a hurry when scarfing treats! :) There were even more crumbs from his Cookies and Cream cupcake on the floor than on his pants- he's a chocoholic as I am, so I was surprised he let anything miss his mouth!
My daughter loved her Birthday Cake cupcake (or mainly the frosting! :)
What's great too is that anything that is not sold by the end of the day is donated to a local food charity. Check out their website for all the delicious descriptions of what's available and join me in my resolution to try them all! http://www.jillyscupcakery.com/
