While it was my last day in Las Vegas, i said, i have to try a cupcake place. The cupcake place that people said to go were Caked and The Cupcakery. Both were far away from the Olive garden we ate at. Yelp had tons of mixed reviews of GiGi's cupcakes but I said to my self, you can't mess up a cupcake.
So we find it and it was easy to spot for the sign is very clear.
We get inside and the place looks wonderful, very welcoming and nice decor etc. I asked what was their most popular and the Rommie i think it was suggested the Red Velvet but his personal favorite was The strawberry shortcake i think?
We purchase it and take it back to our hotel and i give one of two that I order to my friend Traci who it was her Birthday.
As i bite into mines, i didn't like what i tasted it. The frosting wasn't cream cheese which is a no no to me. Your red velvet should always be a cream cheese frosting.
After biting more into it, I don't like the taste of the cake it self too. It tasted very artificial. Not very good in my opinion.
The frosting though is what very much killed it for me. It tasted like it came out of a tub that the super markets get. I remember tasting the same exact frosting from the super market chain QFC in Seattle.
I can almost guarantee with no doubt its the same exact frosting.
Sorry GiGi, not a fan of your cupcakes. good try but not for me.
