| - I was in the area and excited about going to Gigi's Cupcakes because I haven't eaten any good cupcakes for a long time. When I walked in, there was no other customers or employees in the shop. I took a few minutes to browse the selection in their glass case. When I was ready to order, there was still no employee in sight! Then, I walked to the register and realized that there was a sign that said "Please ring bell for assistance." LOL. I guess they don't have any cameras in the shop? The woman who helped me was very polite, but didn't seem to be enjoying her job.
I ordered 4 cupcakes: Banana Cream Pie, Birthday Surprise, White Midnight Magic and the Las Vegas Wedding Cake. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy any of them. The cake itself was very moist, but it lacked any flavor at all. Even the dark chocolate cake didn't taste like chocolate. The two inches of frosting on each cupcake wasn't very exciting either. The frosting on the Banana Cream Pie cupcake was the only one that I could tolerate, and probably the only one that could save its flavorless cake! But other than that, the other three were very bland. I hate wasting food, but I just could not eat most of it. :(
I received one cupcake for free, so I paid $10.50. About a month ago, I went to their website and signed up for the Loyalty Club. For my birthday, they emailed me a coupon for one free cupcake.
Overall, I was disappointed with these cupcakes that were nicely decorated and looked so good! I'm glad I finally tried Gigi's, but I won't be back.
