Dinner without dessert is like a foreign movie without subtitles—you can digest both, but you’ll probably miss out on the good parts. Fast-forward to tasty endings with today’s Groupon to Wilsey’s Handmade Sweets, which delivers to the St. Louis metro area; Edwardsville; St. Charles; Maryville, Illinois; Collinsville, Illinois; and Glen Carbon, Illinois. The delivery fee, not included in this Groupon, starts at $5. Customers can arrange for free pickups in Glen Carbon. Choose between the following options:

• For $17, you get two dozen cake balls (a $34 value).
• For $25, you get $50 worth of cake balls ($17/dozen, $1.75 each).<p>

Beneath each edible sphere’s hard candy shell, Wilsey’s bakers marry moist, fully baked cake flavors with creamy frostings. A hearty crew of white-chocolate amaretto, turtle, and red velvet sticks around all year to woo sweet teeth and debate the merits of Julian, Gregorian, and cartoon-puppy calendars with capricious seasonal flavors. Bite-size seasonal treats such as chocolate-covered strawberry, piña colada, and crème brûlée appear during strategic months to surprise a special Valentine or sweeten up a vacation. Cake balls can be picked up or delivered directly to doorsteps in a hot-pink box adorned with a sumptuous satin bow, which saves handheld desserts from meeting their fate at the hands of a hungry rug.
