Gigi's Cupcakes

Dear Cupcake Inspirations, 


Thank you for Gigi and her cupcake making abilities. Thank you for her generosity and willingness to share them with the rest of the world. We are blessed because of them. I imagine that these cupcakes are a small glimpse at what cupcakes will taste like in heaven, and I'm very thankful for them. I think I'm in love. 


Gratefully yours,
-heather :)


I am not a big cupcake fan. I generally can pass by one and am not even phased by all the cupcake stores that are springing up like espresso stands in Seattle. They're OK but not my first choice for desserts.


Except for Gigi's


I was craving something sweet on my way home several weeks back and decided that I should boost the local economy by stopping by to taste what a new business had to offer. It's a shop that's probably less than 1000 steps from my apartment door, as well, so it seemed like I was investing in the community. 


Little did I know that this buttercream-based Midnight Magic treat would be so life changing. I went back with a friend a week later. This time, he tried the cream cheese version of Midnight Magic, and I went for the Peanut Butter Cup. It was even better than the other one. Four days later, I ate the Cookies-n-Cream. And today, a Facebook post about the Grasshopper made my car magically drive into the parking lot on the way home. 




Yes, I have fallen in love with these little bits of what cupcakes must take like in heaven.  


Find one near you (if you're lucky!). I go to the one in Buckhead.

Heather,

They just opened one down at the Aspen Grove Mall. I haven't tried one yet, but after your post I think that I may have to this weekend.

ooooh....cupcakes...and now it is dangerous that there is one that close to Mike's work...this could sabotage all recent attempts for health.

Amy...just surrender. It's over. They're that powerful. I highly recommend the peanut butter cup one.
