Gigi’s Cupcakes of Chandler

Cupcakes are sweet and a little pricey. Also there is a limited supply because once they run out they are gone! This is my 3^rd time here and I will be back again

I’m not sure what all the hype is about with these cupcakes… My daughter wanted cupcakes for graduation since we just moved here and we weren’t going to have a big party. Being new to Chandler and not ever having gourmet cupcakes from a shop, we decided to pick up a few here and a few of the same flavors from another local cupcake shop and do a taste test at home first. I wanted so badly to like Gigi’s because the presentation of them was gorgeous (hence the 2 stars). However, after getting both sets of cupcakes home and dividing them in fourths so that we could all sample each flavor and compare «apples to apples». Gigi’s Cupcakes were dry and crumbly… They lacked any flavor at all and the frosting tasted like lard. We ended up ordering cupcakes from the other cupcake shop after everyone in the family agreed — Gigi’s has a great LOOK but now they need to focus on their TASTE!

I was on my way to the car after dining out at a Italian restaurant in the same plaza, then I noticed this place at the corner of my eyes. Well… I am already here so why not? We stopped by to check out this place. The bright color and cute decoration completely caught my eyes.
Since it was towards to end of the night when we arrived, selections were limited. Nevertheless, we ordered the 3 cupcakes and get 1 free deal. They were all well decorated just like what other Unilocalers said. Unfortunately, their frosting was so sweet I ended up removing them before taking the cake. I have to admit, it doesn’t taste as good as it looks. I still want to give it a 2 stars for great customer service and how well the cup cakes were decorated. Other than that… yeah I probably will not come back here again.

This company is poorly run. We used them for two baby showers. The first time they didn’t have them ready when we asked. We gave a months notice and when they were finally ready (minutes before the shower started they look like they had been thrown together. We decided to give them a second chance and again they completely messed up our order. They had not made them then when they did finally make them the cupcakes were warm with the frosting melting off them and they were told to use blue and yellow with air planes. They used blue and Orange and had some airplane cookie cutter design. And just last week I saw they closed at 3pm bc they had run out of cupcakes. Sprinkles never runs out of cupcakes!!! I know that the Ray and ten location is where they make them but why not call them and say hey we need more cupcakes. Also DO NOT USE THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING. If they can’t have stuff together for two baby shower on which they both had plenty of time to prepare the cupcakes (for 30 people). I doubt they will have cupcakes ready for a wedding. Gigi cupcakes I like your cupcakes but your business management sucks. I will not be using you again for any future event.

I’m giving GiGi’s 3 stars but only because the décor is cute. I took four 10 years olds in to pick their own flavors. None of the girls liked their cupcakes. They complained of too much frosting, very dry cake and way too sweet. I got a Bourbon happy hour cupcake. It was so dry with overkill of nuts in it. I tossed it after picking off some of the frosting. I so wanted to love this cute little cupcake shop but sadly will not return.

I have to be honest, I was very disappointed in my cupcakes during this visit. The Italian crème and cookie dough were so dry. The cakes had no moisture and I did not eat them. I will say the frosting was good, but it could not make up for the hard dry cakes. I again got the burboun cake and that was okay. It has Carmel and chocolate so that may have made it a bit more moist. I like the burboun one but the others were just so hard I was disappointed.

Everyone has bad days but every time I do come here I never get what I want. I have tried twice to get stuff in agave for parties, they can not accommodate. I call to see if they have it. I go there they don’t. I’m over it.

The worst cupcakes ever. Fresh on the daily my ass! Don’t feed me shenanigans. The cupcakes were extremely dry, inside and out. The frosting was clumpy and overly sweet. The texture was so poor and it also leaves a chalky after taste. Don’t waste your money! I’d rather go down to my local grocery store and buy a dozen cupcakes for 5 bucks opposed to spending that money on one poorly made cupcake.

We had four cupcakes from this Gigi’s location. They looked fancy. They were packaged prettily. The cake to frosting ratio seemed 1:1, by both height and weight.
The frosting was rock hard and the cake was dry and dense. The paper was solidly glued to the cake. I’d guess they were a week or so old, and not stored properly. Of course the staff claimed they were freshly made that day. Perhaps it’s true. If so, they’ve got even worse problems.
We tasted three of them. Didn’t bother with the fourth. We all agreed: «hilariously disgusting». We had great fun getting percussive thunks out of these poor cupcakes.

I special ordered two dozen mini cupcakes, 1 dozen regular and 1 dozen gluten free. The manager called me to discuss my order and was so great with helping me figure it all out. She even met me early in the morning to allow me to pick them up early. The cupcakes were perfect looking. They were even better tasting! Nice and fresh and the frosting was the best! I will, for sure, order from them again!

I’m a supervisor for a cupcake store so my standard for cupcakes are set pretty high! I love checking out cupcake shops and I always try to be unbiased.
The décor is very pink and cute with a lot of merchandise near the walls. Upon walking in, there was no worker in sight. But the worker did come to the counter from the back after hearing the door open, with a cell phone in her hand. This is kind of a no-​no in any work place.
The actual cupcakes are very pretty but just by the look of it, the icing ratio is either the same or slightly more than the actual cake
I got the red velvet, strawberry and a chocolate one that I forgot the name of. Now I understand that saying a cupcake is «too sweet» is an oxymoron bc obviously you want a cupcake for a reason but the amount of buttercream icing was kind of an overkill to the overall cupcake and I think I just ended up scraping all of the icing off altogether and just ate the cake.

Has the cupcake fad ended? While in search for my red velvet cupcake craving in my neighborhood I noticed GiGi’s, which had apparently been there for a year. I am not an expert in cupcake tasting, but I know my red velvet cupcakes! The best to date was at Urban Tea Loft which use to be in downtown Chandler (hoping for a comeback). The red velvet cupcake I received at GiGi’s was not only fairly dry, but the amount of cream cheese icing on it was ridiculous. I thought I was eating a soft serve ice cream cone for a minute. I enjoy the light fluffy and flavorful cupcake with some icing. No need to give it a second try as all the cupcakes had an extra large dollop of icing. I’ll be spending my money at Sprinkles!

First off, the cupcakes are amazing. If I were rating this on being able to just run in the store and grab a cupcake, I’d give this a 5, but I ordered 3 dozen cupcakes for a bridal shower 3 WEEKS in advance and on the day of the shower, it was a fiasco. They were supposed to be ready at 11:00 AM for an 11:30 shower. I received a call from the store at 10 AM that they would not be ready until 11 but they’d deliver them to my home at 11:30. I said that was fine.
At 11, we decided to pick them up at the store, only to find out they wouldn’t be ready until 2:30 PM now because they had a wedding that day and they determined that event was more important than our event. They offered me a refund, which did it help because we needed the cupcakes for the shower. After a few tense minutes, we took home part of the order and were told we could come back in an hour for the rest. We went back in the middle of the shower and after waiting 30 more minutes, got the cupcakes. What a mess. If you have an event and need your order, I wouldn’t count on this store.

Meh. I have been wanting to try their cupcakes for years now, since seeing their location in Ahwatukee and then this location opened. Doesn’t live up to the yummy looking cupcakes on the side of their delivery trucks. I picked up a «hot fudge sundae» cupcake because who doesn’t love a hot fudge sundae? The cream cheese frosting was pretty good, very creamy texture and had decent cream cheese flavor. The cupcake itself was rather dense with absolutely no flavor and tasted like it had sat overnight in the refrigerator. My 9 year old even stated that there was no flavor in the cupcake and proceeded to only eat the frosting. There was nothing «hot fudge» about this cupcake. How can you be a cupcake place when the cupcakes don’t taste good?

I really wanted to love this place, but sadly it fell short of my expectations. The store is absolutely adorable and cheerfully decorated, and the service matched. The girl working the counter was just as sweet as those cupcakes she serves and the box they package your cupcake in is SO cute! It was the end of day on a Saturday and they barely had anything left to choose from. I was reallllly craving chocolate and all they had left was gluten free, so I went with that. Blechhh! Idk if it was old but the top was as hard as a rock and the inside was so mushy like it was barely cooked. I threw it in the trash :(

Pretty good cupcakes! Have been here a few times and every time it’s just as good as the first. Tiny little shop that packs a punch.
It doesn’t matter which flavor you end up choosing as I’ve had plenty and each one is good. Very friendly to answer any questions you might have.
They did recently change their hour and our closed Sundays which for a moment I was worried they were closing shop, but that’s not the case. Best cupcakes by far in and around the area, but if you don’t mind driving «the sweet tooth» is so much better!

Went here for the first time on Monday after a coworker brought in their weekly menu and highly recommended the place. She was absolutely correct in here recommendation! Upon entering, I was promptly greeted by a friendly young girl. The place is tiny and cutely decorated with a few small tables and tons of bright colors. It’s very cheery inside. I had mentioned it was my first time at a Gigi’s and the employee patiently answered all of my questions about the individual flavors as well as the best way to keep the items fresh. I finally decided on the Kentucky bourbon cupcake and the classic cheesecake with cherry topping. Both were beautifully decorated and ALMOST too pretty to dig into.
The cheesecake was for my roommate and I never tasted it but he gave it two thumbs up. Stated it was absolutely delicious. For a «mini» this thing was huge!
The Kentucky bourbon cupcake is possibly one of the best cupcakes I have ever tried. (And I’ve eaten my share of cupcakes). First of all, the cupcake probably weighs a whole pound — it is huge. The cake, which was chocolate with pecans and chocolate chips, has a more dense texture than usual and is so incredibly moist and gooey. The icing is cream cheese (smooth and not overly sweet) and it was topped with additional chocolate chips, pecans, and caramel and chocolate sauces. I cannot give this cupcake enough praises. I will certainly be back several times to try their other flavors until I leave chandler (which is unfortunately in just a few weeks).
Definitely try this place!

Pretty impressive they came through with 2 dozen pink and white cupcakes on late notice. Everyone at the party loved our treats and im glad we had such a good experience. Now I would recommend some sort of bulk discount because 2 dozen cupcakes to the time of $ 85 bucks is a little stretch, talk about the spoiled kids I have.

My friend sent me an email about this place and I realized that the Chandler location was really close by, so I stopped in yesterday after work to check it out. The store is very cute and the cupcakes looked delicious. In addition to cupcakes, they have mini cheesecake, stuffed cookies and other sweet treats. The flavors rotate daily so there is always a variety to choose from. After much contemplation, I decided to try a cookie dough cupcake and a caramel macchiato cupcake. I ate the cookie dough cupcake last night and it was AWESOME!!! The frosting was the right balance of flavor and sweetness without being too sweet and the cake was perfect. I will definitely be back to try more flavors!

Only 1 review?! This place is awesome!
First, walked in and was greeted by 2 super friendly girls. They explained their current flavors and deals. They waited patiently as I made my very difficult decision. Now we got them home, and they taste amazing! Will definitely be back!
