| - It upsets me to give a 1 star to a place that caters to cupcakes.. I'm upsetting myself and I wish i could like Gigi's cupcakes, but they just aren't my thing.
I tried a few of those around me: a strawberry, a coconut concoction... and the reoccurring theme was the 7:1 frosting to cupcake ratio. With a sad non-star (but should be the star) of the show dry, crumbly, boring cake.
Sorry, but butter cream doesn't brighten my day like it does for a 7 year old, but I never even liked butter cream then.
So... among my observations, I decided it best I order the popular red velvet... if I'm going to get a load-ton of frosting, I'd like it to be cream cheese.
UGHH?! I though I got the wrong cake when I got into my this-is-why-these-cupcakes-cost-$3.50-a-piece-box. Butter cream frosting and red sprinkles do not make this okay for the replacement of cream cheese! And yes, I know red velvet is made with cocoa powder... but not enough to turn the cake to actual chocolate cake.. My cake was more so chocolate purple-y in color.. and I guess in flavor too.. (i don't know what that tastes like either)
To my disappointment I got a chocolate and frosting cupcake in a box when I initially ordered Red Velvet... So to my samples of the previous, and to my own, I ate about an entire HALF cupcake and a quarter of the frosting because I was turned off... :[
Wamp wamp, oh well..... I'll just head to Albertson's next time.
