The boys and I went to Gigi’s cupcakes back in February, and I was planning a grand gigi’s cupcake review about how amazing and delicious they are but after tasting them and experiencing their customer service, that just wasn’t meant to be.
The cupcakes were GORGEOUS and they tasted okay but even the boys agreed that mine are better. (Sorry, GiGi!)
Will got the chocolate chip, Lucas got double chocolate and I got champagne. Nathan shared with everybody. In fact, we all shared with each other.
The taste alone wasn’t a show stopper. I’d be more than happy to go back or order them when I’m feeling lazy, but there was more.
The service was terrible. We did not even an acknowledgment when we came in. Two girls were in the back talking about their love lives. I had to call out to them to get service. While we were there they continued to talk about inappropriate things and use inappropriate language. I will not return.
I guess I need to brush up on my decorating skills. These things were incredibly pricey, I bet I could make big bucks! 😉
I kid. I have NO desire to open my own cupcake stand. Franchise or not.
I read your about me and love everything about you! You are a such beautiful woman! Can’t wait to see more amazing outfits from you! 🙂

AWw, Thank you grace. you are very sweet! I look forward to seeing you around.
The one time i had Gigi’s they were given to me. There is a location about 30min from me, if i loved them i’d take the time to go, but i’d rather just make delicious box cupcakes from home. 🙂 They are great to look at though.

I’d much rather have them from home too. I have an AMAZING Williams Sonoma recipe that I use for Chocolate. Vanilla comes from a box.
Sorry to hear the review…but I’ll speak up on the decorating and presentation you mention. Not all that. They are clever but very simplistic in the pics you’ve posted, not very difficult to copy at home!!

I thought they were super cute. You re right though. I just need a MUCH bigger tip than I have. Come teach me! I miss you. 🙂 Really. I do. 🙂
I love Gigi’s cupcakes! I could eat them all day!
Maybe if the service hadn’t been so bad I would have liked them better … but then again I have that secret recipe that just rocks so much … 😀 🙂
Thats a huge bummer that the service was terrible – that’s something that will ruin any experience for me!

I completely agree. We have a few “favorites” and on the rare occasion get crappy service and we are really appreciative we found them long before said crappy occasion. Did that make sense?! haha.
We had them a few times when we used to take a soccer class in cedar park. First time they were relish….last few times they were just ok. The last time there wasn’t good service & they cake was so dry. Haven’t been back. My mom brought us some the other day….cake was not impressive still.
Good to know I am not the only one. I did not go to the CP one. I went to the one in G-Town.
