Gigi's Cupcakes

I stopped into the bakery today on a whim while I was waiting to be seated at nearby restaurant. I ordered 4 of the larger cupcakes and 4 mini cupcakes. This was my first time there so I wanted to try out a variety. I didn’t dig into them until I got home several hours later. First I tasted the strawberry cupcake mini…it was sooo delicious. A little to much frosting for my liking, but both the cake and frosting were delicious. Then I tried the wedding cake flavor. OMG it was so good…even better than the strawberry in my opinion. Lastly I tried the red velvet mini and true to form it was also very very delicious. I have a few more flavors to try, but I’m on a sugar high right now so I’ll have to sample them later. These are the best cupcakes that I’ve had in a while and I will most certainly be returning for more!

We had a sudden surprise party and needed to find great tasting cupcakes that are gluten free and ready to get boxed up. Gigi's has amazing tasting gluten free desserts and they are always so accommodating to make any event the best it can be! Dr Nick Lukacs and the entire office at Queen City Ear Nose and Throat thank you for being so helpful and fast with our order! We'll be back to order for future events.

I heard about GiGi’s and was anxious to try the cupcakes in NC. I was very disappointed with the taste? It was not what I was expecting? Maybe it was the ones I had but the taste and texture was rough and tasted day-old? I was surprised. I gave them a 4 because I want them (Corporate DEPT) to have an opportunity to redo this store and the taste to be more competitive in texture to what they may have been before I guess?

These cupcakes are always worth the crosstown trip! Because of COVID-19 and the slowdown in business, the selection of cupcakes was limited. We were pleased because our favorites were available. With that said, I haven't tasted one that I didn't like. I hope this business continues to rebound from the slowdown.

I had never heard of this bakery, but I won a gift card through an Instagram giveaway and we recently decided to stop by and use it. Covid-19: you can order and pay online. We decided to shop with our eyes though. They only allow one person inside at a time which I appreciate. They were doing buy 5, get 1 free which worked out to be just about $20 for the 6 cupcakes we got. We got: appledoodle, oh my gourd, carrot cake, unicorn, strawberry shortcake, and wedding cake. The two fall flavors (appledoodle and oh my gourd) were my favorite. I loved the apple filling in the appledoodle. Of their regular flavors, I was most impressed by the wedding cake. It didn't sound exciting, but the flavor was great. The strawberry ones (unicorn and strawberry shortcake) were both pretty good. Surprisingly, carrot cake was my least favorite. It was actually kind of dry and lacked some of the usual carrot cake spices. I'm not a huge cake person, but I did enjoy these cupcakes. They also have a Yelp check in offer!

Wonderful! I ordered cupcakes over the phone for my son's birthday party. Madison was very helpful in walking me through the options. The cakes were ready on time and our guests raved about them. We got the vegan frosting bc, we have family with lactose issues, and it wasn't as sweet, which people loved. The carrot cake seemed to be the favorite.

Fabulous cupcakes (no question about that!) but I question the business sense... Tried to buy a dozen of the "imperfect cupcakes" and was told I could only buy 2 because of the low price... Hmmmm???? There's a simple solution - If you feel you're selling them for too little, charge more. If a customer is willing to buy 1/2 of the imperfect cupcakes you have, which means you're driving customers to your perfect/high priced cupcakes faster, you should take them up on that! A dozen "imperfect" cupcakes would cost $24. So I opted to buy a dozen minis for $19. Seems most business people would want to sell the least desirable product for a higher price so they can focus on their moneymakers... But maybe that's just me. I've only been running a successful sales and marketing company for 17 years... Anyway, I probably should have just walked out, but I didn't because the cupcakes are really good, but next time I'll just pay $6 and get mini cupcakes at Whole Foods. Sad. I love supporting small businesses, which is why I went in there today, and usually they are so customer-focused and friendly. V-Day is stressful. Hope they sold all those imperfect cupcakes, two at a time.
