Recently I had the opportunity, through the Atlanta Gluten-Free Dinner Club, to sample some of Gigi’s Cupcakes’ gluten-free treats. The Gigi’s at the Forum, in Norcross, makes gluten-free cupcakes every Tuesday and Thursday. On those days they always have chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and spice with cream cheese frosting. Delicious!
While Gigi’s is not a dedicated gluten-free bakery, they use precaution to avoid contamination. In fact, on Tuesdays and Thursdays they start baking early so to prepare the GF cupcakes before they make their glutenous cupcakes.
A few Tuesdays ago, Jen (a fellow gluten-freer) and I hopped in the car and made the trek to Norcross. This was my first ever visit to Norcross (besides my lacrosse team playing Wesleyan) but it was worth the venture OTP. (Since it is a bit of a trek for those of us that live closer to downtown, I would call ahead, just to make sure they have GF cupcakes on that day.)
These cupcakes were absolutely delicious and the crew at Gigi’s made a bunch of different varieties, beyond just the typical vanilla and chocolate. Jen and I savored every bite of out THREE cupcakes…
Salted Caramel
Peanut Butter Cup
Birthday Cake
And I got two for the road, chocolate and vanilla…
Gigi’s cupcakes are a sweet tooth’s dream! Amazing icing and delicious cake. I know that cupcakes are trendy right now but I do think they’re so much more fun than cake. For indecisive people like me, you can try multiple varieties!
PS: When we got married 7 years ago (!!!!!!!) we had cupcakes, instead of wedding cake. I guess we were way ahead of the trend! So cupcakes always have a special place in my heart.
Not every Gigi’s makes gluten-free cupcakes but if there’s one in your area, I suggest calling and seeing if they do. If they don’t, you should highly suggest it. Of course they will need to take precaution when making them in order to avoid contamination.
There’s always room for dessert!

I went to the Gigi’s near Perimeter Mall. They also have GF cupcakes. Call ahead there also to see if they have any left. Not sure what days they have them.
