Gigi’s Cupcakes of Huntsville

Stopped in to try some
Valentine’s cupcakes. I left with four and all of them were dry and the frosting made me sick. You could not pay me to return here

I had GiGi’s cupcakes back in 2011, and they were awesome, then we moved out of state.
Cut to 2014 when I was planning my wedding (back home in AL) but while living out of state. Based on the fond memories I had of GIGI’s cupcakes we decided to serve them instead of the traditional wedding cake. We had 4 flavors of minis and a small 1 layer chocolate «cutting cake». All the mini cupcakes were dry, but the chocolate cutting cake was moist.
I was so disappointed with the mini cupcake. They were not at all up to the standards that they were 3 years prior to my wedding. We went to the Madison location. The owner was very nice and we had a very nice tasting with her, but the larger cupcakes we tasted were much better then the minis we received a month later at my wedding. I also want to point out that the order was not cheap, I could’ve had a nice large wedding cake for the same price but I wanted something different, well I sure got something different.

People still go here?
It’s just a lot of icing blended with cheap refined oils. No unusual flavors or options for people who may want a healthier treat. They should offer insulin shots.

First timer… cupcakes were semi stale and sent me to the toilet quickly.
I’m not sure what the icing is made of but mine tasted super oily like maybe palm oil?

They’re really super pretty…
And if you like crazy sugary frosting, you’ll likely be a happy camper because there’s a huge pile of it for you to devour. (Insert ‘want a little cupcake with that frosting’ joke)
Saying the cake is good is a stretch… And it’s cake… Who doesn’t like cake? It’s dry and pretty flavorless.
They get 2 stars because they aren’t bad… Just not good.

I’m the typical guy who waited for the last minute to get my wife a present for her birthday. This was the right place to come. We live in Washington DC and there are a number of cupcake shops to include Georgetown Cupcakes and Sprinkles but I have to say that Gigi’s is #1 in my books. Keep up the great work Gigi!

I really wanted to like these. Having had them twice now, I have to say that they have been stale and dense both times. I would much rather have a Nothing Bundt Cakes item. They are moist and the frosting is not there just to look pretty. We paid $ 27 for 6 full sized cupcakes and 4 little bitty ones. All stale and old tasting. Hate it, because I really have wanted my first bad experience to have been an anomaly. I can’t see trying it again.

What a great little shop! GiGi’s has mastered the gorgeous and decadent cupcake with tall fluffy mounds of icing. The flavor varieties are outstanding. My favorite is the white chocolate raspberry.
The only downsides are the cupcake icing is extremely sweet (but, heck, it’s icing!) and if you go later in the day, the flavor options are limited, but that is to be expected when the cupcakes are baked fresh and taste this good.
I have found they are more enjoyable when shared (they really are big enough for two!) and they are so beautiful that they make an excellent small gift. One cupcake is about $ 3.

Don’t understand the hype about this place. It has way too much sugar-​filled supper sweet frosting. Might as well eating a spoonful of sugar… The cupcake itself is nothing fancy; similar to ones you make from a box… Granted, they look very pretty and nice but that’s about it. Way over priced.

Awsome place to get a sweet fix. Although pricey worth my drive. The Southern Comfort (pecan pie flavored) cupcake is awesome. Im waiting on the Baileys flavor to come back. Sometimes the frosting is too much… so much so I cant get to the cupcake but I absolutely love this place.

I know it’s over-​priced, but the product definitely delivered. I had more chocolate in that one cupcake than I’ve had in quite some time! The staff was friendly, even though the location was a bit odd. We’ll definitely be going back. Heck, we have two coupons left!

I don’t know who Gigi is, but she knows how to make a great cupcake! I have tried almost one of each different kind and they are all equally fantastic.

Gigi’s Cupcakes is a decadent delight, a diet-​buster to be sure, but oh-​so-​worth-​it. Stand-​out flavors include Caramel Sugar Mama, Chocolate Malt and Wedding Cake. As an added bonus, the rows of cupcakes behind the glass are a whimsical, visual treat. I’m also impressed with the excellent take-​out packaging and fast service.

Definitely worth a visit! Simply the best cupcakes in the world — HUGE, flavorful and only $ 3.00 each. You gotta go get one, or some!

I went searching for Seattle South and found Gigi’s instead. the cupcakes are huge! and the mound of icing on top is just as ginormous. I tried the Scarlett Velvet and the bf had the chocolate peppermint. They were yummy. I couldn’t finish a fourth of the icing, but the cake was great. The service was good too. I’ll definitely be going back the next time I’m home.

Went on a Saturday after a trip to LifeSouth; I include this detail because LifeSouth included a coupon after donation for a free cupcake. I went for one and bought 8. What?!? You try picking just one. Got the Apple Spice, 2 Bailey’s, Hunka Chunka Banana Love, Lemon Dream, Midnight Magic, Scarlett’s Velvet, and Wedding Cake. I’d tell you that they were terrible, but only because I don’t want to share.

Ever need a good cupcake?
Gigi’s to the rescue! They have a rotating daily menu of decadent cupcakes to suit any sweet tooth.
They’re located where Stern’s Coffee used to be (before the fire) or Seattle South (for people who have been around a bit longer).
