Jilly's French Silk cupcake was named one of the best in the country.
The Daily Meal has named its top 50 cupcakes in the United States and Jilly's Cupcake Bar's French Silk cupcake made the cut. The site evaluated the must-have cupcake at the bakeries. The bakeries were judged on menu, cupcake design and frosting to cake ratio. Each category was scored on a 1-10 basis. Jilly's received a 9 for both menu and design, but only a 5 rating in the frosting-to-cake category. Other notable bakeries on the list include Georgetown Cupcake, which is featured in the TLC show D.C. Cupcakes; Sprinkles Cupcakes in Los Angeles, which boasts that it is the world's first cupcake bakery and Magnolia Bakery in New York. See more on Patch:

The presidential hopeful won over a few undecided voters at a town hall meeting in Kirkwood.
For a candidate who has been portrayed as stiff and disconnected by the media, Mitt Romney won the favor of St. Louis-area residents Tuesday with his personality. The former Massachusetts governor kicked off a town hall meeting in Kirkwood Park by asking the crowd of hundreds if they refer to their state as "Missour-ah" like former GOP Missouri Sen. Jim Talent, who handled introduction duties for the event, or "Missour-ee," like Romney pronounces the name of the state. The crowd laughed and hollered in support of Romney's version.

During his 30-minute speech, the presidential hopeful promised to cut federal spending…
