They say you eat with your eyes first. \n\nThe presentation and decorations on the cupcakes here are quite lavish. There's a lot of frosting that goes onto each cupcake and is probably almost the same height as the cake itself. Whether it's sprinkles or chocolate chips or a sauce drizzle, you can definitely tell a lot of love goes into each cupcake because they all look so amazing. Really, it's a work of art. \n\nTheir boxes are super cute. A single cupcake goes into a box that holds the cupcake upright so it doesn't flop over and ruin the frosting. The box is a cute mint green and pink. Great touch if you're giving this as a little gift to somebody. \n\nThat being said, the beautiful frosting is my least favorite part of the cupcakes. It's really overwhelming to my personal palette. Too sweet. Too frosting-y. Overshadows the cake. Speaking of cake, I think it's alright. It dries out too fast and isn't moist if you save a part of the uneaten cupcake for later. \n\nGigi's often has deals on Groupon or Living Social for a dozen of their cupcakes. So look out for those! If you're a UNLV student, the coupon book that's available on campus has something for Gigi's.\n\nIf you need a beautiful display for your coffee table or office, perhaps this is the place to go. Just don't eat it.
