Gigi’s Cupcakes of Brier Creek

I ordered the chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting. It was extremely dry and a waste of $ 3.50… I don’t know if the fact that it was chocolate had something to do with it or the fact that I purchased it towards the end of the business day.

We went here on a busy Valentine’s Day and got great service cupcakes were fresh and tasty and had the Gi Gi swirl. They had special flavors for the season they were all great. It lasted the 2 Hour drive home. We didn’t realize until year later after watching undercover boss that this was a chain. We thought it was a local place and usually like to do our business locally but I must say the franchise spot on. We plan on making this our yearly Valentine’s Day treat while we live in the area. Pictures to come…

It pains me to write a negative review about a cupcake place that offers GF options. Sadly though, I must. Especially after seeing their Undercover Boss episode, I wanted to support them even more.
There seems to be several pressing issues with this location:
1. gf cupcakes running out very early in the day 50% of the time I drop in
2. Lack of training for associates
3. Poorly cooked cupcakes
Allow me to expand. We went in last Friday to get one regular and one Gf cupcake. My boyfriends was moist and had a good 4 inches of frosting on it.
Overkill in our eyes. There is more frosting than cupcake. I mean, I’m the type of girl that will eat frosting straight from the container, but cupcakes should be a finger food. My cupcake, in contrast,
Was burned, dry and had just enough icing to know some was there. In this case, more would have been better to lubricate my throat for the dry cupcake. I did something I thought I’d never do… I tossed out the cupcake after a few bites! I know you are stunned right? It was terrible… the worst I’ve ever had. #sadness
On top of that, the associate running the register struggled with basic math. I’m unsure how the register comes out even at the end of a day.
I’ll probably give them another try but I won’t be getting the chocolate torte. Yuck!

Thanks for the cupcakes at Ray Price HD today — comfort food! Really appreciated !!! Fan for life!

I’m a fan of Gigi’s in general, mostly because of their gluten-​free cupcake options. I stopped at this location on my birthday to get my free birthday cupcake, and the staff member told me that because my rewards account wasn’t registered, she couldn’t give it to me. I can understand that, and the content of her message to me wasn’t the problem. She was very rude and abrasive. I will not visit this location again. There are other locations in Raleigh I can go to, and customer service is one of the main ingredients to a good dessert experience.

We love Gigi’s Cupcakes and treat our selves to it on special occasions; however it does depend on which franchise store you are shopping. The Briar creek store is dirty with bugs flying inside the cupcake case and their cupcakes taste old as if they were frozen and thawed. their service is not so great, they act as though you are bothering them. The Oberlin Rd. Gigi’s is very clean with excellent service and fresh tasting cupcakes made daily.

I had a pumpkin spice cupcake and it was delicious. The place was packed. The service was very good. I also purchased a few packs of the mini cupcakes. the also had a wide variety of flavors.

We used them for our twin gender reveal. We specified that we wanted 6 cupcakes but only TWO should have blue or pink filling (letting us know the gender of each baby). The idea was that no one would know who’s cupcake would have the color. We all bit into them at the same time, and they ALL had blue in them. Instead of being surprised, it was a confusing mess, which is extra frustrating because we literally explained what we wanted to 3 different people (and one person who wrote it down). Way to mess up our moment GiGi’s :(we can’t get that back. Clearly we should have used someone else for this important surprise.

I usually treat my staff to a birthday celebration once a month. I figured I would do something different this time, so I opted for cupcakes. I chose one of each flavor in the store. My team really enjoyed each of the cupcakes. I have a very high bar for cupcakes because I really enjoy CamiCakes in Atlanta.

I LOVE the cupcakes here! Every cupcake is decorated so beautifully and always taste amazing. I love coming here as a way to treat myself. The staff is also super friendly. I really recommend coming here!

Gigi’s Cupcakes of Brier Creek are the BEST! I include them on every event! Weddings, ladies night, customer gifts, family gathering and employee promotions. The owners Marina and Maury are the fuel that run the business. They give back so much to the community.
I enjoy the mini’s. That way I can try all kind of flavors!

Overrated! The cupcake itself is bland. On top is a tower of icing that is way too sweet. Maybe the icing is geared towards the taste buds for children. All in all, i don’t recommend this place at all, unless you are a fan of overly sweet icing and average and bland cupcakes. Although I am a fan of good cupcakes, I dont want to feel like im going to get Diabetes after eating a cupcake. If you’re looking for a good cupcake with some sweetness but not too much, i would recommend smallcakes in durham. Smallcakes is opening a shop in Cary also that should be opening Aug 2015.

I’m a cupcake fanatic. If there’s a cupcake somewhere, I’m going to try it and judge it pretending to be on Cupcake Wars. I’ve had lots and lots of them and I can honestly say Gigi’s makes great cupcakes, with the exception of the cake-​frosting ratio. I usually HATE large amounts of really sweet/​sugary icing, but I found myself eating the cream cheese frosting with a spoon. It’s that good! I don’t like that they put so much of it, that the cupcake almost always tips over because of the weight on top. The cake itself is moist and fluffy which I love.

I got my Fiancé’s birthday cupcakes from here a few weeks ago. The store is nice and clean, but very small. Service was quick and friendly as I had ordered ahead for pickup. The cupcakes were beautiful, frosted nicely. There is a TON of frosting on these cupcakes. Which usually I pose no objection to as I have a major sweet tooth. However we found a lump of frosting leftover on our plates as the proportion of icing to cake seems to be skewed. The icing is EXTREMELY sweet, but it is icing, sugar and butter essentially so of course it is very sweet. I guess it’s better to have too much than not enough? The actual cupcakes themselves were good, not great. My fiancé loved them of course, and I did enjoy eating them, but we found a few flavors a bit dry. If the cake was a bit more moist they would be perfect. Overall GiGi’s makes beautiful cupcakes. However their cake recipes aren’t quite up to par with other bakeries I’ve been to. Will we go back? Yes, most likely due to its convenient location. Will I enjoy their cupcakes? Of course, it IS a cupcake for crying out loud.

My boyfriend loves the cupcakes here, but most them are waaaay too sweet for me. They’re not bad but it tastes like sugar on top of sugar and more sugar and not much flavor. The banana chocolate chip bread on the other hand was amazing.
Be aware, if you don’t get there at the crack of dawn, you won’t have much of a selection because they don’t make more cupcakes through out the day and no specials during the weekend for people that want to buy more than one cupcake. $ 4 a cupcake is really pricey. They have all these delicious looking flavors on their website but I have yet to see them in the store.

Strawberry shortcake cupcake — Icing is delicious. I like mine really sweet and they hit it. The cupcakes themselves are a bit dry for me. Thanks for the $ 3 dozen coupon! The vegan carrot cake looked delicious.
The red velvet was much softer (less dry) then the strawberry. If choosing go with red velvet.

We had Tiny Princess Cupcakes made for us (Strawberry) as well a Gorgeous Strawberry Zebra Cake. These were OMGigi’s awesome in Look and taste. We had very little Cake to take home and everyone had enough to indulge on !! Looking for Photo’s… In all the excitement of this Surprise Shower… Im not sure we got one !!! But Gigi’s was so accommodating I will order all all of our Special Cake and Cupcakes … worth it in quality and attitude of staff… LOVE this store.
They are VERY Accommodating. will save cupcakes for us if we post on the Facebook page, call or email. We have NEvER had a bad experience.
They have ever run out of GF cupcakes and told us by the time we get there the cupcakes we want will be waiting.
If someone forgot, (ME) to give my phone number for Gigi’s points, I can call and they gladly add them to our account.
Will not go to any other Gigi’s !!!

I usually love Gigi’s and have had good experiences with the brier creek location, but one star because I opened up my banana cream pie cupcake and when I took the wrapper off the bottom a dead bug fell out. Super disgusting! And really disappointing. I definitely don’t want another Gigi’s cupcake now!

I will start off by saying I make it a point to visit every bakery offering GF options to try and decide which one I like best. Combing distance from my normal area with the fact that these GF cupcakes were a touch too sweet for my taste I can’t say this is my favorite bakery for GF treats, but would go again if I was in brier creek at a restaurant and wanted a desert to wrap up the night. Also selection is a touch limited, but does hit on my favorite cupcake combos so can’t fault that.
The cupcake itself was moist and airy and not dense. My wife who does not have to be GF like I do tried them and liked them as well her only concern was the sweetness of the frosting.
End result: Must try if you are in brier creek and are looking for a local GF desert. If you don’t mind driving there are better out there in my opinion.

Discount for military? Is this not awesome or what. I must say I truly love that they give greater than 10% for the military. What I love most is that Gigi’s also extends their discount to the veterans with proper IDs Gigi’s is my new best friend Yum.
In the past we had the red velvet, carrot cake, tuxedo, wedding cake, champaign, and a plethora of other flavors. Today Kentucky bourbon graces my tongue. In my opinion the Kentucky bourbon is by far not their best flavor. This flavor gives off a rather mushy grainy texture with a hint of artificial bourbon extract for flavor. It just didn’t hit the spot for me. However, that being said their many other flavors always seem to deliver a sense of awe.
Now coming out of Brasa and being ever so filled by an abnoxious amount of meat Gigi’s makes a great going home treat. I think I would go as far as to say if one visits briar creek they ought to stop by this great place.
