| - Ok so this is gonna be a weird review because I got some complaints, but yet they get 4 stars.
Gigi's is a little shop across from UNLV next to raising canes. I was in around 6 pm and chose 3 cupcakes. They have daily flavors that I think are the same on each day. I had no idea what time they closed, but I don't know many bakeries that stay open past 5 so I figured with all the cupcakes in the case I'd try the ol' end of day buy 3 get 1 free? inquiry to no avail. Apparently they are open til 8 pm and after 7 it's BOGO on whatever they have left. Ok well ya don't wanna hook a first timer up near the end of the day whateva :P So anyway my 3 cupcakes came out to a hefty 10.50. Yep, for the price of what it costs to feed a child in the 3rd world for like 2 weeks, I got 3 :cough: cupcakes. SOOOOOOO yea, lets see what I tried.
First choice. Banana something or other
This cupcake is a banana and chocolate chip cupcake topped with banana frosting with a little chocolate top. The cupcake itself is excellent. Unfortunately the cupcake was about 2.5 inches tall and the frosting was about 3 inches tall. This makes a bite of this cupcake unbearably sweet, and I have quite a sweet tooth. HOWEVER, both the cupcake and the frosting taste really good, so I didn't mind so much. I'd just rather have half as much frosting and maybe pay like 2.50 for a cupcake :P
Second choice. Chocolate midnight chocolate chocolate monster chocolate (something like that)
Next we have a chocolate cupcake, with chocolate frosting and chocolate chips and chocolate in chocolate on top of chocolate. So you kinda get the point, yea? Again the cake was tasty, the frosting was abundant, but tasty as well. I would be happy without the towering amount of frosting again, but I would get this one again because I love chocolate.
Third choice. Southern Comfort
How could I not get a cupcake named after one of my favorite drinks. This is my favorite of the 3. I have no idea what is in it exactly, but I'd guess pecans, maybe cinnamon, with some kind of a brown sugar vanilla cupcake topped with some kind of caramel frosting. The best thing about this cupcake is that the frosting is not a towering monstrosity but instead just a flat spread which makes this cupcake almost look "not worth it" in comparison. But you can actually take a bite and sort of enjoy a flavor without just a rush of sugary frostying destroying your senses.
So thats about it for Gigi's. I really don't like the amount of frosting on the cupcakes, but I can't fault them too much because it does taste good. Definitely still second to Retro in terms of flavor and construction, but not a bad substitute if you can't make it all the way out to Centennial.
