Let Them Eat (Cup)Cake!

Cupcake shops seem to be all the rage these days, (especially if you watch TLC every once in a while). We’ve got three shops in Lexington, KY alone, and this weekend I stopped by one for the first time: Gigi’s Cupcakes. Gigi’s has locations all over the South and Midwest (including Louisville). They have a daily menu of cupcake flavors to choose from, and luckily, I went with three other folks so that everyone could get a different cupcake and sample the others. We tried the Italian Cream Wedding Cake, the Midnight Magic (dark chocolate with chocolate chips), Texas Milk Chocolate, and Scarlett’s Red Velvet Cake. They were delicious! My only complaint is that Gigi’s piles the frosting on so thick that there’s about twice as much frosting as actual cake.

It was the perfect Saturday afternoon treat, and I’m looking forward to trying the other two cupcake shops in town to see which one is the best.
