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!

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!

 

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!

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 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.

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!  :)
