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 Sooner Victory Cupcake

First off, I can't stand the Oklahoma Sooners.  I don't really like college football, but I hate the Sooners.  I actually have a photo where I put the longhorn up right.  :)  Not that I a longhorn fan either.  Anyway, on to the cupcake.  This is from Gigi's (http://www.gigiscupcakesusa.com/home) Chocolate cupcake, and icing.  With red sprinkles and pearl looking things.  Wonderful cupcake!  Could easily be a Christmas cupcake.  It was really good!

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 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.

Gigi's Mississippi Mud Pie

Gigi's Mississippi Mud Pie is a chocolate cake with coconut and nuts inside.  Then chocolate icing with chocolate drizzle and a couple marshmallows.  When I got this cupcake, I didn't know there would be coconut with it, I am not a fan of coconut at all.  The cake was ok, I could taste the coconut, but besides that it was good.  Now the icing was wonderful!!!  Love the icing!  It was a perfect chocolate icing.  Fluffy, creamy, rich... super yummy!

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. 

Gigi's Kid Kraze Cupcake

Today I had to go to the doctor, which made today not so great.  So after the appointment the little girl (and little boy), and I went and got a couple of cupcakes.  Too bad the little guy didn't get any cupcakes, he was just along for the ride.  But this is the one the girl picked.  Of course!  It's pink!  Pink icing, with sprinkles on the inside and out, with a gummy worm.  She only ate about half, she LOVED the icing.  I got a tiny bite before she licked the icing off of the whole thing.  The icing was very good!!  The cake was pretty good too.
