Gigi’s Cupcakes of Cypress

Very disappointed every time. Very dry n over cooked. Wasted my money n will never get them again. For almost 5 bucks a piece, very very upset about that. The party guests were saying they will never get them again either.

Cupcakes are nothing special
Been here twice
Too much frosting
Not moist
Too small for price
The cupcake place at outlet mall is way better
Also packaging is too fancy and a waste of money for Gigi’s to use I bet

Cupcakes maybe a little above average. They were fairly moist and light. Frostings were not too sweet and had good flavor. I would rate them above Treat, but wouldn’t go out of my way to buy these again. A bit expensive for what you get like all specialty cupcake shops.

A small cupcake loaded with frosting and colored sugar topping! I had the Friday Lemonade Pink cupcake. Frosting was smooth and cupcake wasn’t as moist as I like. I probably wouldn’t go back for more… but if you like sugar, this is the place for you! Friendly service! First time visit!

Bought a dozen assorted flavors for a 1 year old birthday party: cookie dough, dreamsicle, champagne, strawberry shortcake, banana pudding, reeses pieces, carrot cake, red velvet, etc. I’m no baking expert but I thought they were delicious and so did everyone else as far as I know. I thought the flavors were spot on. The banana pudding cupcake was amazing — just like banana pudding. Also I thought the dreamsicle tasted just like the ice cream flavor. The order was on time and the girls over the phone were very helpful.

Girl at the counter took the time to explain the different flavors as it was our first visit. Cupcakes were definitely on point.

Cupcakes are neither a science or religion to me: but my kids beg to differ. So my daughter is writing the rest of this review: I consider myself a cupcake expert. The cupcakes were very small for the price, the cake was dry, and the frosting was way too sweet. Then the filling. I did not know there was any, but to my surprise I bit into possibly the worst tasting goop I’ve had in a while. Coming to a cupcake shop, you expect the flavor to explode in your mouth. It did not. It imploded to destroy my day… Sorry. «Smallcakes» is just a couple miles North on 290 at the Houston Outlets. Much better quality & price.

I have been trying to make it to this place before they closed on so many occasions. It has such a cute name and from what I saw, it looked really cute too! FINALLY I stopped in about 30 minutes before they closed and got a cookies and cream cupcake and the chocolate* bourbon cupcake. I was so excited… Until I took the first bite. The cake was not moist at all, rather hard, along with the icing. I was so sad, so I asked to try my boyfriends (which was a given) and his was the same.
I always try to look at both ends of the spectrum, but I have arrived at other cupcake places later than when this one closes and they were still in better condition.

Cupcakes are always perfect. Love the way they look. I get them for my kiddos. Worth the $$$

Always enjoy the variety of cupcakes! Tonight we tried the hummingbird and it was delicious! Similar to a carrot cake, but almost like banana bread at the same time. Hard to explain but worth a try!

Love these cupcakes… crazy amount of icing as you can see from the pictures, but wow am I glad there is! Kids love them, but usually get them the minis. Lemonade ones are fabulous!

In my opinion they have some interesting cupcake flavors and they have unique look to them. So if you like your sweets plentiful some of their cupcakes are loaded with toppings. Not sure what more you could want with a small concentrated bread of cake? Maybe buy a whole cake if your looking for more attributes in bread. I have heard of people having these imaginary expectations for cupcakes. The people I purchased for said they were good No one had any negative comments and saying that my mother works in a bakery. All in all because, I’m lazy and fat I buy cupcakes already made at times. These were Good cupcakes nothing wrong with tasting a different style of cupcakes

I give this place two, starts because I was very disappointed on the cupcakes and price, I love to support local shops and I’m all about to try new places but the cupcakes at this place you can almost get at central market or whole foods, nothing special about them. I wouldn’t recommend this place!

The actual flavors of the cakes — don’t change much. Most of the cupcakes are either chocolate or vanilla — and only the flavor of the gobs and gobs of frosting are what makes the cupcake «chocolate turtle» or «crème brûlée» or «peanut butter chocolate». I don’t like that. If you are calling something a Peanut Butter Chocolate cupcake — maybe a peanut butter flavored cake, with chocolate frosting would be nice.
So to sum it up — if you want a plain cupcakes, with a crazy amount of flavored frosting — this is the place for you!
Secondly — if you DO choose to order online — after you have placed your order and put in all your credit card information and gotten a confirmation — make SURE you take a picture of said confirmation and call the store to confirm (which is kind of a pain in the butt). I ordered the mini cupcakes for an office party, paid my money and got a confirmation screen (but didn’t print or take a picture or call the store). So when I arrived to pick up my cupcakes — NO cupcakes! What a hassle. Lesson learned.
Thirdly — I LOVE Suzy Beez and would choose them ANY DAY over GiGi’s. To each their own.

*UPDATE*
These cupcakes are still the bomb 02.25.14

If you like cupcakes and are in the area, this is the place that you want to visit. So far I tried two cupcakes Wedding Cake and Merry Margarita. They were very moist and delicious… a lot of icing, but I’m not complaining lol! Anywho, I suggest ordering online if there is a particular one that you want because they sell out fast. I wanted to try the Red Velvet, but they were out :(
Overall this is a good cupcake spot… a little pricey, but very worth it.
Definitely DONT go to Susie Bees off 1960… they are the worst cupcake place ever

My cousin ordered Gigi’s Cupcakes for her birthday party and I was pleasantly surprised!
Even though they were a bit pricey, the flavors were great and I love how they put alot of frosting on the top.
Here’s a tip, If you are planning on going to Gigi’s, try to get there before 3:00, because when they’re out of cupcakes for the day, THEY’RE OUT!

I went to Gigi’s on a fairly decent time on Saturday around 4:30pm and was hit with fact that they were sold out of almost all their cupcakes. I was offered a single flavor which wasn’t even appealing to me. I mean seriously if you close at 7, don’t sell your self short.
i haven’t been back since and I’ll never return.
really wish i didn’t even have to put in one star!!!

If you like spending money on your desserts, this is the place to go.
My daughter had to have some of these cupcakes for her party. I have to say they were beautifully crafted. But I could have been happy with a couple of Hostess Cupcakes (this was prior to their collapse!)
If you are into art in the form of edible treats, you will enjoy Gigi’s.

I cant assess a cupcake shop very well since I’m not an avid cupcake fan — Gigi’s was like any other. What differentiates these cupcakes are their height/​frosting. They top the cupcakes with a HUGE mountain of frosting (yay for frosting lovers like me!). I wouldn’t suggesting coming if you’re not big on frosting. The taste and flavors were creative and appealing, props!
I dont think I’d come back but I didn’t hate my experience.

After leaving work very early on a Friday, beautiful day might I add, I decided to spend some time perusing around Cypress. I ran into newly opened Gigi’s. The dessert fiend in me squealed. That skinny heifer in my head said, girl you better go to that LA Fitness across the street!!! But the Chunky Monkey I am wants to sample, rate, and compare every cupcake in the city! If you look at my pics, you can guess who wins more often.
It was a super duper nice and knowledgeable lady, Ellen, working the counter. Every cupcake I inquired about, she knew instant full details regarding it. I let her know it was my first time and wondered what the best sellers are. Her first choice (what I chose actually, was wedding cake).
They had a sample of strawberry shortcake on the counter. When I tasted it, it was so moist and delicate. It made me super excited to taste my selection. She told me how best the cupcakes travel, but I gave her that «girl please» face and stated this cupcake wasn’t making it that far. I enjoyed it on one of their 2 tables outside (no place to sit inside sadly). The cupcake was really good, loads of icing (borderline too much for my taste) but I’m sad to say it wasn’t as moist and delicate as my strawberry bite. I was a bit disappointed but like I stated, it was indeed delicious. $ 3.25/p or $ 36 for a dozen. They could also be a bit bigger in my opinion too… just a smidgen for the price tag.
The store was never packed but the traffic was continuous in and outs. Considering the time, this place is undoubtedly popular.
I’ll be back Gigi… rest assured! It was so many good varieties, I’m excited to try that salted caramel. But the CM only gets one cuppy cake at a time.
