Hi! I’m Deena and I’d like to welcome you to the sweetest little cupcake bakery in Peachtree Corners, where every delicious cupcake, filling, and frosting is lovingly handmade fresh every single day.
Here’s the story of how Gigi’s Cupcakes came to my hometown. In April 2010, Gil and Tobi Lyons opened the first Gigi’s Cupcakes in Georgia, located in Sandy Springs. Gil and my husband, Sean, were childhood friends who grew up together in Nashville (home of the original Gigi’s Cupcakes). When Gil and Tobi opened the Sandy Springs store, Sean would often stop by “just to say hi” and would bring home a box of cupcakes which we would promptly devour. As you can imagine, our family quickly became addicted to these amazing cakes. It didn’t take long before we realized that we absolutely MUST have them closer to home so we could share them with all of our friends and neighbors.
Sean and Gil made the decision to open a location at The Forum on Peachtree Parkway, and that’s where I came in. In my “former life” I was a CPA, but have been a stay-at-home mom and volunteer for the past 10 years. I’ve always loved to bake and entertain friends, so baking beautiful cupcake creations to help others celebrate their special occasions sounded like the perfect job to me. You used to see me jogging with friends along the side of the road at 5 a.m., but now you’ll find me baking cupcakes from scratch at that hour and loving every minute of it!
I’m a true Atlanta native who grew up right here in Peachtree Corners. I love living and raising my children in this wonderful community. I’m excited we've opened this store right down the road from my house, my children’s school, and my alma mater. Peachtree Corners is such a tight-knit community full of wonderful, supportive people and I just love putting a smile our customers' faces with beautiful handmade cupcakes!
Stop in soon, and let us make YOUR life a little sweeter!
Deena
