Gigi's Italian Cream Cupcake

Gigi's Italian Cream Cupcake (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/italiancreamweddingcake).  I don't like coconut, but this was a good cupcake.  The icing was very sweet and fluffy.  It was a nice cupcake and looks cute too!  Simple but cute!

Gigi's Chocolate Hazelnut cupcake

This is Gigi's Hazelnut cupcake.  (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/chocolatehazelnut).  The icing is a hazelnut which wasn't bad.  I have never had Nutella before, but most people swear it is so good.  Well the middle of this cupcake had Nutella in it... and YUCK!  I am not a fan of Nutella.  I don't know what people are talking about.  It taste a lot like peanut butter but with a small chocolate flavor.  So gross.  No thanks on Nutella and this cupcake.

Gigi's Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

This is Gigi's chocolate chip cheesecake. (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/chocolatechipcheesecake)  And it is SOOO yummy!  Wow, it is wonderful!  Chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting.  Very sweet and chocolatey.  Love this!  It may be my new favorite!

 

DC Cake Appeal

Here in Shawnee, we don't have many bakeries.  This is DC Cake Appeal's (http://www.dccakeappeal.com/) chocolate cupcake. Nothing fancy.  No decorations... they definitely won't be winning Cupcake Wars (a show on Food network) with their decorations, but the cupcake was very good.  The cake was very moist and yummy and the icing rich with chocolate.  And it was only $1.95!!!!  Holy batman, that's cheap!!!!  Right now they are in the middle of moving and won't be open again for a month or so.  I am ready for them to reopen so I can get another fix.  :) 

Gigi's Pumpkin White Chocolate

This is (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com) Gigi's Pumpkin White Chocolate cupcake... and holy moly it taste just like Fall to me!!  Wow.  I was very surprised by this cupcake.  I am not normally a fan of pumpkin tasting things, but this one I loved!  Here is what the description of it online is:

 

"Pumpkin cake with white chocolate chips, white chocolate cream cheese frosting, dusted with pumpkin pie spice."

 

It was wonderful!!  I need another one before the season is over!

 

 

Gigi's Peanut Butter Cup

This is Gigi's (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/) Peanut Butter cup... I am not a fan.  But then I am not crazy about peanut butter.  I thought it was so cute though.  The cake was crunchy in places and then the icing is all peanut butter.  My boys liked it, but would have prefered to have a chocolate cupcake.  Samantha didn't care either way.

Gigi's Cinnamon Roll

This is Gigi's (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/), cinnamon roll cupcake.  It tasted just like a cinnamon roll... I was so surprised!!  I liked it a lot, I don't even see it on their list though.  But it is a keeper if they want my opinion!

Gigi's Birthday Surprise

This cute little thing is http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/ Birthday Surprise!!!  This one is so cute, Samantha had to have it.  And I actually enjoyed it too.  Samantha only likes the icing... me too, honestly, but I will eat the whole cupcake.  She loved this icing.  And so did I, the light pink has a light fluffy sweetness.  Very yummy!  Good choice Samantha!

Pinkitzel's Salted Caramel

Yesterday I tried Pinkitzel's Salted Caramel.  It was interesting.  It is a chocolate cake with very running caramel in the middle of it.  With some pink icing, I am not really sure what the icing was it.  it was my favorite part of this cupcake though.  I probably wouldn't get it again though. 

Gigi's Smore Cupcake

This is Gigi's Smore Cupcake.  It looked so cute in the display and I love smores that I make at home, but this cupcake isn't the same.  I actually wanted to return it for a refund.  The cake was a chocolate cake, that was completely dried out.  Then I guess they "toasted" the top of it.  Then the marshmallow icing on top with a tiny hershey bar.  The Hershey bar was the best part.  I like marshamallows but the icing was too much especially since the cake was so bad.  I wouldn't get this one again.
