Nice clean bakery in McCandless I have been wanting to try. They have a large variety of baked goods to offer. I tried the hot mess cookie, and the Hostess cupcake covered brownie. The brownie was very good. The hot mess cookie to me had a different aftertaste. I would not try that flavor again. The service was very friendly and patient while you decide what you want.

What an awesome little bakery if you are looking for something sweet and with great presentation! I stopped to pick up something for my daughter and left with a bag filled with goodies. I got stuffed chocolate chip cookies for her and also snagged some mini red velvet and mini vanilla bean cupcakes, as well as 2 crustless cheesecakes. All were fresh, delicious and beautifully decorated. It would have been a big plus if there was some seating inside and they put a little more into the interior decor. The vibe inside didn’t match the goods, so nothing really draws you in but pure need. I will say though that I will be back whenever I’m in the area because of the quality of the baked goods. Sooooo good!

Edited: Quite annoyed with the new business that has taken over Gigi's cupcakes...as they told me, over the phone, that they still used Gigi's recipe in their cupcakes. This is not true. After driving 45 minutes to come grab some allergy friendly cupcakes (Gigi's had gluten free, nut free, and soy free options), I discovered after discussing with the employee upon arrival, that the cupcake recipes are completely different than what they were when Gigi's Cupcakes was the name on the building. And while they may still be gluten friendly, they ALL have soy in them. The new company really should've closed the Gigi's location on Google maps and started as a "New Business". This is very misleading that they get all the good reviews from Gigi's Cupcakes without the product. I left my review at 3 stars because the employee was super nice and the products looked good visually.Original review of Gigi's Cupcakes had a5 stay rating from me (this location no longer serves Gigi's products): Sooooo delicious and soft and fresh! I was a little hesitant after some of the reviews, and also because i used to work on a bakery so i know a good cupcake or two. But these are fantastic!!Edit, 1 year later: I've been here numerous times, driving an hour every time specifically for these cupcakes! And I still stand by my original review. Forgo the macarons tho... Just get the cupcakes.

They made the CUTEST custom cake for my daughters 3rd birthday. All I gave as inspiration was the plates we planned to use and boy did they deliver! 10/10 experience.

We used Bella Christie's for a Bat Mitzvah dessert table and everything was delicious and displayed beautifully! Mia was very easy to work with and gave us some great ideas.

Bella Christie makes the best birthday cakes! We have used them for years for both of our little ones. Beautiful designs and great taste!
These are the best cupcakes in the North Hills. So good. Maybe even in all of PGH - will have to keep eating cupcakes tho to decide that ??♂️
Delicious and creative cakes!! Their icing is the BEST! If you haven't tried them yet... GO!!
I love all the new flavors each month and try to make it her at LEAST once a month. My favorite bakery in the Pittsburgh area.
Bella Christies is my go-to for every baked good! Everything is beautiful AND delicious.
