Gigi’s Cupcakes of Georgetown

Went to location before the hours online said it closed, and the location was closed. Update hours on all websites.

We recently moved to Gtown so we had experienced Gigi’s this weekend for the first time. I agree with everyone here– they go way overboard on their entirely-​too-​sweet-​to-​eat icing. They put enough on one cupcake for three. The cake part of the cupcake is amazing. The strawberry and cookie dough were my favor– sans icing. They are pricey (too pricey for a cupcake IMO) especially since my wife’s homemade ones blow these out of the water. But, when you have out of town visitors you have to do «touristy» type things and this was one we did this weekend to appease them. It was okay, but I doubt we will go back. $ 58 on cupcakes is a bit too rich for my taste.

My entire family loves GiGi’s cupcakes. The cupcakes are delicious and the icing is as tasty as it is tall. Such a great treat anytime we are out craving something sweet.

Came here the other day because some out of town friends were dying for a cupcake. I have passed by it several times after work and never thought to stop in because of the reviews. I ordered a key lime cheesecake and a candy bar cupcake. Like other reviews said, the icing was taller than the actual cupcake, but I just scraped it off and threw it away. The cupcake itself was ok, but just tasted like vanilla with no cookie pieces inside. The cheesecake had a very odd consistency and was weirdly dry, bummer. I’ve heard their apple, lemon, and chocolate cupcakes are pretty good, so I’m willing to give them another try. Hopefully next time will be a better experience and I will adjust my review accordingly.

Had one of these cupcakes tonight and it was super tasty. I had a chocolate peanut butter cupcake and it was delicious — if a bit over-​iced. I’ll happily try some of the other flavors in the near future.

Given the lack of pastry and bakery shops in the Georgetown area and not wanting to make a 30 minute commute into Austin. This is the place to get a quick sugar fix. Instant diabetes in a cupcake? Yes please!!! If you’re coming here you obviously want something sweet so those of you complaining about too much frosting wipe it off don’t ruin it for the rest of us! I recommend getting the mini dozen so you can try a little bit of everything, please note they used to have these where you could pick them right up in store now you have to preorder kind of a drag but good to know. They also do a loyalty program off your phone to collect points on your receipts towards free cupcakes not sure if all locations do this but kind of cool if your regular. PS love the wedding cake & strawberry flavored ones;)

Great service, good cupcakes. Bianca helped me out a lot and was super nice and welcoming! I will be returning soon!

Anyone who lives GF knows how exciting it is to find a new place catering to GF eaters … so my hopes were high as I drove in to check Gigi’s out. However, despite the banners on their Unilocal,website, front door AND cupcake counter advertising «Gluten free every day!» they do not actually offer GF cupcakes on Sundays. Big disappointment… Don’t advertise something you don’t offer!

I was not impressed with Gigi’s cupcakes at all. It was our first time there. I took my kids a couple of weeks ago and both of them did not finish their cupcakes… I didn’t finish mine either. The cupcakes were very dry and not worth the price. I also felt rushed at the counter.

Their strawberry cupcake is the best thing ever! Some people have said they have too much icing– and although they do have a lot of icing I don’t really think there is a thing as too much icing! :) the cupcakes I have tried and loved: the lemon filled, wedding cake, birthday cake, triple chocolate, pumpkin spice, hot cocoa! Love the mini cupcakes too!

I lovvvvvvve this place. The shop is very cute inside and very clean looking. The staff is so nice. They have a large selection. The cupcakes are amaaaaazzzzzing. I got the miss princess one and it was so good. I will definitely come back again. :)

These things are delicious! I try to stop anytime I can to & from ATX. Last time I got a peach stuffed something. Idk, but it was a small piece of heaven. My daughter loved her strawberry one! I love that they’re rich and lots of icing… that’s how a cupcake is suppose to be!

Relatively good cupcakes, and very polite staff. I would tend to agree they do go overboard with the icing. Beautiful thing is I don’t have to eat all the icing. I found this tool with four prongs, I think it’s called a fork. So you take this «fork» and remove the icing You don’t want to eat. Science!

What is going on here?! Enough whining about too much icing — scrape some off! Not only is this place my absolute favorite for cupcakes (I’ll get to the cupcakes!) the people are so very friendly. The owner is the nicest guy who really takes care of his customers. Now, the cake. There are so many flavors — so many delicious hard to choose from flavors. My personal favorite is salted caramel, but please don’t make me choose just one. The cake is so moist & gooey. I love that they have gluten free & low calorie options. I also love giving these as gifts and people love receiving a big beautiful GiGi’s cupcake. See y’all tomorrow for more! :)

I’m very disappointed in this place and if I could give it no stars I would. The cupcakes are very dry and the amount of icing is actually pretty disgusting (and usually I really like the icing). The cheesecake is better than the cupcakes but even they are slathered in icing. They are definitely not worth the price at all. I would rather buy a box cake mix knowing that it would be 100x better than their cupcakes. Also, all the «positive» reviews are from them asking people for positive reviews on Facebook, which I’m pretty sure is against Unilocal policies. Your positive reviews should be from the quality of your products not from your desperation to look better.

Such harsh reviews for cupcakes. Geez people. The cupcakes are really good and the flavors we have tried are tasty! Love the Lemon! The frosting is good, however, a bit much for my mom, but more than fine for the teenager. Each to his own, right? The cookies are fantastic and NO possibility of tree nuts in the snickerdoodle cookie. (yes, I know it doesn’t call for nuts… just no nut anything near the cookie)
Looking forward to trying one of the cakes soon for a birthday.
Love Gigi’s!

I went there to get a birthday cupcake for my co-​worker and one for myself. I told the guy I needed separate boxes since one was a gift. No one else was there! He asked me which one to put the sticker on and I told him the birthday one. I give the «birthday» one to its intended and take mine home. I finally went to eat it and as you may have guessed it was the WRONG one! This was my first (I told him it was my first time and he gave me their menu) and last time going there.
I really hate it when people don’t pay attention while serving. I was so angry I just threw the damned thing away. From what I’ve read here it was probably going to be nasty anyways.

We decided to hit Gigi’s after school on Friday. I guess I just don’t get the whole cupcake craze right now, even though I’m desperate for a really good cupcake that doesn’t overwhelm with sweetness. Gigi’s isn’t the place for that.
The store itself seems like a giant waste of space. Its a pretty big store, but all the tables are pushed to the side so that it isn’t an inviting place to sit and enjoy your snack.
The cupcakes themselves are really beautiful, but I don’t buy a cupcake for decoration. We ordered the a banana cream, white midnight magic and 2 mellow creams. Each one has at least 2.5 in icing and maybe 2 inches of cake. The icing is ridiculously sweet and just too much. I had to scrape most of the icing off to make it edible. The cake itself is dry and doesn’t have much flavor.
Not a great cupcake experience. Pretty disappointing.

We asked the girl at Casa Olé next door about this place and she said that they were good but that they used too much icing. I’d have to agree. I mean, I love me some icing, but this was crazy. I had to rest my cupcake on its side on a plate and eat it with a fork. I know, wah, right? Lol. Anyway, we got several but I only had one — wedding cake. Which looked to be white cake and cream cheese icing. It was good but definitely not worth $ 3.25.

I read the reviews for their Cedar Park location and thought «Really? There is no such thing as too much frosting!»
All of their cupcakes are quite beautiful. And they use buttercream and cream cheese frostings. The server was very friendly and helpful. Each day they have 11 different flavors of cupcakes and their menu shows their rotation/​specials. Today I tried the wedding cake cupcake. White cake with buttercream frosting and tiny white pearly sprinkles. I was expecting a traditional buttercream. This is not, but it is still very good. Sweet and thick, but good. The cake itself was very moist and did not stick to the cupcake paper as most cupcakes do. They are a traditional sized cupcake (not oversized) except for the huge mound of frosting. That’s not a bad thing! Maybe the best white cupcake that I’ve tried so far — moist and delicious. I have also tried the coconut cupcake which is closer to a «normal» cupcake appearance-​wise (meaning no huge tower of frosting), but it has a nice surprise filling inside… coconut filling with a hint of pineapple perhaps? Nice surprise. Even though it didn’t have the huge tower of frosting like the other varieties, it was more than sufficient and the cupcake itself was moist and delicious The frosting is also cream cheese based with coconut on top. Yummy. I will add to this review as I try their other varieties. Overall — very good cupcakes and really 4.5 stars. To those who think there is too much frosting — you can take some of it off — duh!
