We decided to serve cupcakes instead of a wedding cake, since we have such different tastes, as do our guests. This was our first experience at a Gigi's, and after one bite, we immediately knew we wanted to use them. We were planning our wedd...ing from across the country, so when I would come into town for wedding planning purposes, I would pick up a box of different flavors to carry on the plane home for us to try. The staff was great at Gigi's; they helped us pick out 6 different flavors in different sizes (I would totally recommend what we did, which was to get the wedding cake cupcakes in the large size-one for each guest-and then get other flavors like the amazing Red Velvet and the mouth watering Peanut Butter in the mini-sizes so our guests could try different types!).
Additionally, we were able to rent a large cupcake stand from them for a very reasonable price, so we didn't have to worry about figuring out how to display them. They let me pay in advance so I could have someone else pick them up, and they were really helpful in helping me come up with creative solutions for the guests that needed gluten-free or tree nut free cupcakes (they have great gluten free cupcakes and the cheesecakes are made separately than the cupcakes, so that was a really successful strategy for us).
All our guests loved being able to try different flavors, and we made little to-go boxes so they could have an evening snack with the leftover minis-a great wedding favor!
