Gigi’s Cupcakes of Winston-Salem

Get cupcakes! Always fun trying a new cupcake or a classic best seller. I love the décor and atmosphere of Gigi’s! It’s a fun place to go with friends or even a cute dessert date! Everything is made there and it really shows through the fresh taste! I enjoy it and love they keep things changing for excitement or seasons!

After trying Gigi’s Cupcakes for the first time I have to say, there goes my diet! How could I have neglected a bakery that has these delicious treats in the same town that I live in?! Well not anymore! My husband brought me some cheesecake cupcakes and regular cupcakes (not regular in anyway just not cheesecake.) Those cheesecake cupcakes are out of this world! So rich and has great toppings on it! The Oreo cheesecake cupcake and chocolate one were my favorite. There were real pieces of Oreos in it and the chocolate one had pieces of chocolate chips on it as well. The cherry one was also amazing. Now the red velvet and wedding cake cupcakes are also some of my favorites. Honestly I loved them all. I had read previous reviews of how they put too much frosting on the cupcakes, but is there such a thing as too much frosting when it tastes like heavenly goodness in your mouth? The cream cheese frosting on the red velvet cupcake was to die for. So lush and gratifying! I can’t wait to go back to try more!

This place is OK in my opinion. It’s a really small bakery located in a very busy shopping center in Winston. They have lots to choose from, including gluten free (which is what drew me here since I have Celiac Disease). Unfortunately, the GF cupcakes are in an open case with the rest, which makes it unsafe for anyone who’s gluten intolerant.
They had 3 for me to choose from: peanut butter chocolate, lemonberry, and chocolate/​vanilla. I chose the lemonberry and was pretty disappointed. There was way too much frosting on it, and it was overly sweet. I’ve definitely had better GF cupcakes. Next time, I’ll try the PB chocolate. If it, too, disappoints, I probably won’t be back.
My friend ordered a regular cupcake and the lady asked if we wanted them in the same box. Anyone who is familiar with gluten intolerance knows that is a big no no, so this place definitely doesn’t do much of anything to prevent cross contamination. They have a sticker on the box explaining the GF cupcakes are cooked in the same kitchen and cooking materials as the regular. Anyone with Celiacs is taking a risk eating here. I haven’t had a reaction yet, but it’s only been a few hours.

OMG is about all I could say when I walked into this cupcake heaven today! My husband was stopping by AT&T and decided to surprise me by taking me to Gigi’s. As soon as I walked in, my mouth dropped by the beautiful display of cupcakes and the intoxicating aroma of yumminess! The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful by explaining the difference in flavors and fillings. Also, she had me sign up for their rewards club to get 25 points and a free cupcake on my next visit! Today I decided on trying the Tiramisu cupcake. It’s perfectly flavored like mocha. The cake was moist, springy and a hint of coffee. The inside was filled with a cream that had a mocha flavor as well. The icing had 2 flavors– cream cheese and mocha! The cupcake was shockingly not overly sweet nor the «Crisco» sugary icing which I can truly appreciate. My husband even love it and he hates icing usually! I almost got the Strawberry Lemonade and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, but they will be in my list next time! I loved that she recommended not putting them in the fridge because they dry out faster. I can’t wait to return!

Gigi’s is a chain and not the best cupcakes. I agree… way to much frosting. After living in Charlotte for 20 years where they have many «gourmet» cupcake shops (not chains)…I have to rate this as 2 stars. Best cupcakes in the Triad are in Greensboro at Easy Peasy & Maxie B’s…both On Battleground Ave.

Made a special order of coffee flavored cupcakes for a birthday. Came by to pick them up and was instantly overwhelmed by the shear amount of deserts in my face! Peanut butter, chocolate, red velvet, they had it all. Signed up for their member/​club deal… which is free and because I did I get a free cupcake on my next visit. I will be back!
Oh ya and the cupcakes were fantastic =)
The cookie dough and peanut butter flavored options were my favorite by far.

This place is conveniently located off of Stratford road. It’s a great place to pick up items for a party or dinner event… Everything is beautifully made and are very tasty.
They do tend to add a lot of frosting to their already sweet cupcakes but their presentation is beautiful. They also dress them up for the holidays. I stopped here recently to pick up some treats around Halloween time & they had ghost, pumpkin, etc. themed cupcakes, very cute.
They do offer gluten free alternatives which is wonderful for those who cannot have gluten.
The staff is always very friendly & out of all the many different things I have tried here I’ve never really been disappointed. I will say they are kind of pricey but then again I guess you might expect that.

Ok they are good, but I wouldn’t say great! This is probably my fourth visit, and while I think they’re good, they seem a bit small in this gourmet cupcake craze world! This visit I tried the flavor of the month which was Butterscotch Bacon and Apple Pie. The apple pie was tasty, but the butterscotch bacon was not that great. I finally hit it right this trip and was able to try the Kentucky Bourbon cake which while a bit dry, it was very tasty! My personal favorite, Cookie Dough, had to be purchased as well and as usual was devoured quickly! This southern gentleman likes GiGi’s, but just feels they’re a bit undersized for the price and the competition!

The cupcakes here are the best in town. The only problem is they’re so good they are addicting. Hard to eat just a half then when I indulge and eat the whole cupcake I get a massive sugar buzz.
Seriously though I love this place! We celebrate all our birthdays here so everyone gets their own flavor.

YUM!!! I have never enjoyed a cupcake so much in my life! I wish I had stopped a second to take a picture first! The price of the cupcakes add up fast but with how good they are worth it!

SO glad to finally have a cupcake store in the area, it was about time. Their cupcakes are VERY reasonably priced compared to the other cupcake stores you’d find it places like Washington, DC, etc. You can also usually find a cupcake coupon or deal for them like a buy one get one free in certain coupon books, which is a pretty sweet deal (I found mine in one that a local high school football team had sold us). I guess you can say that some of their cupcakes have too much icing, but that really depends on what you get! I got the wedding cake style & I have gotten another before & I remember thinking it wasn’t THAT much (however, I am a HUGE icing person, haha). My dad also has a huge sweet tooth and I’ve gotten him the Kentucky bourbon pie cupcake & he loved it & all of it’s icing. The way a cupcake store ices their cupcakes seems to be their «signature» now a days (I went to Georgetown cupcakes in Washington & they had too little icing and decoration in my opinion, so go figure). Their presentation definitely is worth the icing, I promise! They always have a corresponding decoration on the cupcake to go with the flavor, which you don’t see in many other gourmet cupcake shops. They also have a few gluten free options, so I thought that was awesome as well! The atmosphere in here is adorable & really, REALLY girly! I’m talking like 5 year old girly (which I am fine with). Great for anyone coming here w/​a girl friend or a child. Unfortunately, I feel as though it is so girly that it would make my dad & boyfriend kind of uncomfortable to actually come in & sit to eat (which is what I would prefer), so I usually just have to get them to go for them. Anyways, I love this little place, may be getting cupcakes instead of a birthday cake this year!

Ok, but way too much frosting on the cake for too much money. A tad overrated and they look at you strange if you just want one for yourself.

The shop is super cute and the staff is friendly. I love the way the cupcakes are presented. Makes you want one of each kind! However, I wasn’t that impressed with how they tasted. Though, I don’t know why the icing bothers some people, just scoop it off. But for the price the taste was just OK. For a half dozen cupcakes costing over $ 17 I was expecting to be wowed!!!

The cupcake… I couldn’t really tell what the flavor was… on any of the flavors? Chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, they kind of meld together. The bourbon one was so vile I had to spit it out. I’ve had quite a few flavors there, mostly because my kids love them because they’re frosting junkies. And there’s enough frosting on these suckers to gag a herd of moose, if you’re into that, but to be perfectly honest it tastes chemically and not at all like homemade (which I make at our house, so I do know what buttercream’s supposed to taste like…). Really overpriced for a butt-​ton of frosting.

I actually liked their cupcakes. I say it like that because I’m not a big cake person and this is a small town so sometimes what’s «good» isn’t really good. One place I don’t get is Dewey’s. You could literally get a box cake and blow that place out the water. They are the Nicki Minaj of cakes. They keep succeeding but you don’t know why. Ok enough about Dewey’s half way house cake squares. GiGi’s is crazy overpriced but if I had a friends bday coming up I think a nicely packed cupcake from here would be cute and tasty. I bought the wedding cake cupcake. The others I tasted were in an assortment so I can’t remember what they were but they were good. My choices in this town for cake treats are Harris Teeter and GiGI’s, once Publix opens all bets are off though.

We love GiGi’s Cupcakes and find every reason possible to make a trip there. If we’re stressed… we go to GiGi’s. If we’re crazing chocolate. we go to GiGi’s. If we want yummy cupcakes… we go to GiGi’s. Notice a pattern.
You simply cannot go wrong with any of the cupcake GiGi’s offers. My personal favorites are the Kentucky Bourbon Pie (not on the menu all the time), the Lemon Dream Supreme and of course the Carrot Cake cupcake with Cream Cheese frosting.
My fiancé loves the Wedding Cake cupcake and gets one every time we enter GiGi’s. When we crave cupcakes, GiGi’s is our place that’s solves our addition.

Gigi’s is a favorite of my boyfriend’s and also his office staff! Flavors change daily and seasonally, which I think is pretty neat, but if you go later in the day they might not have what you came in for. There are only so many cupcakes to go around you know! Check the website for the day’s offerings. I appreciate the plastic tray/​liner/​magical-​cupcake-​holder in their to go boxes… you can travel with confidence knowing your cupcakes will arrive to your destination beautifully intact.
A truly special treat — the only thing not good about Gigi’s is what it does to your waistline and your wallet!

I have been wanting to try Gigis for a while and luckily they were at the food truck festival. Their truck is cute and they offer about 4 varieties of cupcakes and a cookie sandwich. I tried the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake and it was amazing. It had a chocolate chip cupcake topped with cookie dough frosting. The frosting really tasted like cookie dough. It was even topped with a homemade cookie. The staff at the truck was very friendly and they told me I picked a very good cupcake. They also offered a to go box which was nice since we were leaving. I can’t wait to go and try cupcakes at their store.

There is way too much frosting on the cupcake! I think they taste «boxed» and not homemade-​over priced.

The shop is really cute and the staff was very friendly and greeted me as I walked in! I ordered two cupcakes, two mini cheesecakes, and two small bottles of milk and it came to almost $ 20, expect to pay a bit here. The cupcakes were pretty good BUT, the frosting, it was way too much! It was like I had ordered an extra shot of frosting on top of my already well frosted cupcake. The cheesecakes were good but nothing crazy.
I would come back and try out more flavors since it is one of the only cupcake shops in the area!
