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 Raspberry Cupcake

I am actually not sure what the name of this cupcake is.  There wasn't a label on it when I bought it.  The cupcake lady told me that it was a raspberry cake with a chocolate icing.  I wanted to try something that I didn't think I would like.  But unlike the two that I got that I figured I would like, I actually loved this cupcake!!!  It is a pink raspberry cake with chocolate icing with a white chocolate drizzle and a raspberry drizzle.  It was so good!!  I would love to get this one again.  I am not sure how often they sell these though.

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

So I am a Pinterest junkie, and I have no problem admitting it.  Today I tried out a cupcake recipe.  They are chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes.   All of my children loved the icing and the cookie on top.  As for the cake, they are not sure about it.  As for me, I didn't mind anything about this cupcake.  The cake is a little buttery.  But there is like 9 sticks of butter in this recipe.  Overall, I would eat these, but if my kids don't like it there isn't much point making them since I don't need to eat 24 cupcakes!  Here is a link to the recipe.. leave me a comment if you try it out!

Pinkitzel's Chocolate Truffle Cupcake

This is a picture of LOVE!!!!  I love this cupcake!  It's perfect!  The chocolate cake is moist and fluffy with a chocolate filling in the middle.  And then chocolate icing.  So yummy!!!  I need another one of these cupcakes and soon!  I highly recommend this!

Pinkitzel's I Want Candy Cupcake

Pinkitzel's (http://www.pinkitzel.com/) I Want Candy

The pink icing had a different taste to it.  The chocolate cake was very good, it was moist and fluffy.  This cupcake had lots of candy on it, like gummy bears, worms, and m&ms.  I let my children taste test this cupcake.  Some loved it and some had no love for it.  And all day long I was singing "I want candy!". 

Pinkitzel's Peanut Butter Cupcake

Here is the peanut butter cupcake.  If you like peanut butter, this is the cupcake for you!  My boys would love this cupcake!  The chocolate cake was so yummy and soft!  Wow, super good!  The icing had a strong peanut butter taste and was fluffy and of course a peanut butter cup on top.  Personally I don't like peanut butter much at all.... ok to be real, I can't stand it.  But this wasn't a bad cupcake at all.  I probably wouldn't get it again for me, but I would for my boys!

Gigi's Midnight Magic

This cupcake is Gigi's (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/)  Midnight Magic.  Chocolate cake with chocolate icing, sprinkles, and "antlers".  The cake was pretty good, but the icing was wonderful!  Very rich and sweet.  I love chocolate icing.  Even the sprinkles were good and so was the "antlers".  I would recommend this to any chocolate lover!

Gigi's Midnight Magic Cupcake

And this is Gigi's (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/) White Midnight Magic cupcake.  It was a chocolate cake with white icing.  This cake wasn't as dry as the "Thunder Up" cake.  The icing was good.  This cupcake also had chocolate sprinkles and "antlers".  I am really not sure if they were antlers or not but they looked like it to me.  Overall this was a good cupcake.  The flavors were good together, I would buy this one again. 

Gigi's Red Velvet Cupcake

This is Gigi's (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/) Red Velvet cupcake.  Before this cupcake I had only had a red velvet cupcake once before at a baby shower.  My sister loves Red Velvet so I decided to really try it.  And wow!!!!!!!  I am hooked!  Red cake was moist with on the inside.  Very good taste to it.  White icing was sweet and fluffy, and the white fondant heart was really yummy!  It also had red crystals, which were goofd.  Overall this was wonderful!!!  I highly recommend this one!!  It is my favorite at Gigi's. 

Gigi's "Thunder Up" Cupcake

And this is the "Thunder Up!" cupcake!

I went when the OKC thunder were still in the finals against the Miami Heat.  This cupcake is adorable!!  And if you are wondering if the basketball is edible, it is!  It is a sugary sweet basketball.

It was a chocolate cake with white icing.  The cake was a little dry, but the icinf was sweet and rich.  The cake actually needed the icing to make it not so dry.  And then lots of sprinkles, but they were pretty good sprinkles.  Overall, not bad.  I would get it again to support the OKC Thunder! 

Gigi's Wedding Cake Cupcake

Well I was at Gigi's (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/), I got 6 cupcakes during my first trip so I could have several to try.  This one is wedding cake.  It is a white cake, with white icing and white crystals.  It was plain.  It was fairly good if you enjoy white cakes.  The cake was moist and the icing sweet.  It had a few too many crystals for my liking though.  But I am not a sprinkles type of girl.  I would recommand this to anyone that likes white cakes. 

Gigi's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Since I am in LOVE with Pinkitzel's chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake, I decided to try Gigi's (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/). Gigi's stores are very different than Pinkitzel's. There is no candy store, just cupcakes, fairly small but cute. The staff was very friendly also. So I got one of their chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes. And it was also very different than Pinkitzel's. The icing was a chocolate color, with mini chocolate chips on top also with a cookie.  The icing was very good, sweet and fluffy. I enjoyed the icing.  The cookie on top was hard, I am not sure if that was from it being old or not.  Maybe over cooked.  The cupcake was more like a muffin to me.  It wasn't sweet.  It was good and moist, but it didn't seem like a cupcake, so the icing with it, just didn't work for me.  I would like to eat both of them just not together. 

 And look how cute their boxes are!  :)

Pinkitzel's Chocolate Malt Cupcakes

Isn't it pretty??  The cupcake is so cute!  I love the chocolate and the straw.  This cupcake is a chocolate cake that is moist and very good.  With chocolate icing (LOVE), and a whopper (which I could live without).  The icing and the cake go well together, or they are good alone too.  Seeing this one, even my children agree that it is cute! 

Pinkitzel Cookies and Cream Cupcake

Here is one of the first cupcakes I got when I went to Pinkitzel!  It looks so cute!  I love the little wrapper around each cupcake.  This cupcake is a cookies and cream.  It has a mini Oreo on top.  The cake is a chocolate cake, that is very moist and super good.  The icing is the cookies and cream part, which I think it could of used a little more cookie part.  But the icing was sweet, fluffy, and creamy.  Overall, a very good cupcake.  I would buy it again!
