Finally!  Someone who KNOWS how to make a cupcake.  The icing is as tall as the cake itself and for an icing freak like myself, this is an irresistable factor and has been largely ignored by the couture cupcake world in the past lol.  Thank you Gigi!  But not only is the icing incredible, the cake itself is moist, tasty, and thick and rich.  It's $3.50, but worth every penny - you're basically eating a meal.  Since many pastries at Starbucks are $3.50 and above and aren't nearly as fresh or fun, this is a special treat.  Plus a 1/2 dozen or dozen of them is the perfect hostess gift for any party.  Everyone raves and you come off like the cat's meow.  Win win win.  I think the photos listed here on Yelp should highlight the frosting tower though :).
