6/21/2011 12:07:58 AM

damn son. I get normal cupcakes at the best cupcake bakery in my city (award winning) for 1.50 and those mini bite size cupcakes cost 2.20

6/21/2011 12:11:04 AM

the US dollar has gone to crap but they are worth every penny

6/21/2011 12:11:51 AM

It's awesome. It's like a caulking gun for icing. Looks like this:


Keeps icing chilled so it applies evenly and super easy to clean.

I tried two Gigi's cupcakes this week: red velvet & chocolate cream pie

They were good!

6/27/2011 10:28:22 AM

if you guys want good cupcakes and to support local peeps, gigis is a chain , please to consider my wife, http://www.bluebirdcupcakes.com
we were at the fair last year in the Scott building and will be back this year!

6/27/2011 12:55:21 PM

But how can I get a cupcake from your wife today?

This is important

I have a match tonight

6/27/2011 1:10:16 PM

a cupcake is tough
half dozen no problem just send her an e-mail!

6/27/2011 1:17:36 PM

I will bookmark her site for future cupcake desperation

6/27/2011 1:18:51 PM

i recently discovered coring them


plus my on-the-cheap perfect cupcake filler...sacrificed water bottle!



I think we failed to take any picture of the finished product...they were Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes

6/27/2011 1:23:46 PM

Just finished making a dozen of these bad boys



lemon cupcakes, filled with lemon custard topped with blueberry lemon buttercream frosting

they are friggin good

6/27/2011 2:44:11 PM

mmmm cupcakes

6/27/2011 2:44:36 PM

Kate...I would like one or 4 ok

6/27/2011 2:47:37 PM

haha I doubt they'll make it through the day but here's the recipe

http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/lemon-cupcakes-with-lemon-blueberry-buttercream/


make the custard first. and just sit down and zest the shit out of the lemons before starting anything else. these are slightly more labor intensive than usual but they are delicious.

6/27/2011 2:53:24 PM

http://www.hostessblog.com/2009/05/margarita-cupcakes-vegan-style/

Think I'll make these this month for a get together, i like that they are vegan! no eggs.

6/27/2011 2:58:27 PM

do you have a microplane?

shouldn't take that long to zest 2 lemons

6/27/2011 2:58:36 PM

I bought a zester so I could start doing that... cut myself 4 times


those cupcakes look amazingggggggg

6/27/2011 3:02:34 PM

I'm telling you is where its at

6/27/2011 3:06:13 PM

^ that's what I have now

obviously using it is dangerous for me because I cut the hell out of my thumb

[Edited on June 27, 2011 at 3:07 PM. Reason : granted.. I was also drinking]

6/27/2011 3:06:55 PM

lol I just hit myself in the forehead

Kitchen tools do not mix well with alcohol

6/27/2011 3:07:42 PM

lies


stand mixers are perfect ... I discovered I could hold my drink in one hand and supervise the mixer with the other



but yeah, zesters don't mix with wine

6/27/2011 3:12:07 PM

yea i do have a microplane, but that recipe calls for the zest of like 6 lemons or something total. it was ridic. and yes stand mixers are the freaking bomb. I came home and used my mothers b/c i am too poor to own one right now

also her kitchen is just nice as hell in general. She got cupcakes and extra custard out of the deal so it works out well for everyone

While I want to try those lemon lavender cupcakes like whoa, the beauty of a place like The Cupcake Shoppe or Gigi's is that I can get one cupcake. Rarely do I have a reason to buy a half dozen cupcakes

That said, I don't like either The Cupcake Shoppe or Gigi's. I find their icings way too sweet for my liking. I know I'm in the minority of Americans when it comes to icing sweetness though.

I'll second that for the Cupcake Shoppe....their cake is so dry (unless you get chocolate) NO GOOD

6/28/2011 5:45:12 PM

I love their chocolate cupcakes, but I had a strawberry one once and was not impressed. I will say their mini cupcakes >>>>>>>>>>> regular cupcakes

6/28/2011 5:46:19 PM

Don't know if it has been mentioned, but cupcake bite in downtown fuquay is very very good...much better than cupcake shoppe. and they are cheaper.

agreed. i'm not much of a cake person to begin with though so maybe this is why. my boss always brings these (gigis) to work and is like "EAT A CUPCAKE"

and i'm yes ma'am

but i take one bite and feel like vomiting a thousand sugary deaths

AND i don't know about cupcake shoppe but at gigis the icing, besides being disgustingly too sweet, is also bigger than the cupcakes.

just wanted to show a pic of what they looked like cut in half

6/29/2011 3:59:30 PM

ddk you take orders on them?

6/29/2011 4:01:17 PM

haha i guess i could. i have extra frosting and custard... but it'll have to wait a few days i should really be studying for my gre tomorrow. i feel like i will probably have to retake it. narf.

6/29/2011 4:04:14 PM

the custard looks really yummy

6/29/2011 4:04:46 PM

oh it is. it's super tart rather than super sweet. it's really yummy with the frosting. all the flavors balance out. that lady who created the recipe is a genius

6/29/2011 4:06:45 PM

khcadwal, yes! Why do they use so much icing?? Either make your icing sweet and put on a small dollop, or make it less sweet and use a little more. But really, no one needs what amounts to a half cup of saccharine icing on a tiny cake.

6/29/2011 4:16:34 PM

GOD I WANT CAKE TODAY

6/29/2011 4:17:12 PM

bttt, Thank you Cupcake Queen Samwise16 for those delicious vanilla bean cupcakes this week
