Gigi's Cupcakes in Nashville, TN: Birthday Cake Surprise

We went to Nashville, TN this weekend and we went to Gigi's Cupcakes to review!

The cupcake we chose to review was the highest reviewed on Yelp.  The cheesecake cupcake of the day was called Birthday Cake Surprise.

Presentation 6/10  SPRINKLES
We were excited to try this cupcake place because of the look of the cupcakes in pictures we saw online. We thought the presentation of the birthday cake cupcake was pretty simple. It was actually tucked  in a refrigerator and not on display because it was cheesecake. We thought they could have done more decoration to show it was birthday themed - like a candle. Overall, the pink frosting was so neon and fun!

Taste & Texture 9/10 SPRINKLES

We absolutely loved this cupcake! It was so different than anything we have ever reviewed before.  The pink frosting to cheesecake ratio was a fantasic and never overpowering. The cheesecake was moist and melted in your mouth. The frosting was buttercream and very soft.  The bottom crust of the cheesecake was a very soft crumble of cinnamon graham crackers.

Overall 9/10 SPRINKLES

Overall, we think that this cupcake was phenomenal. We only can suggest two improvements on this cupcake. Shauna believes the crust could be a little thicker because she barely tasted the crust.  Our cupcake was also iced over a little and needed to thaw out before we could eat it.
