The Band Perry Gets Their Own Gigi’s Cupcake Namesake!
Gigi’s Stores Nationwide to Sell the Band’s New Release – PIONEER
Nashville, TN (April 4, 2013) – In true “Pioneer”
fashion, The Band Perry pushes the envelope once more and has become
the first recording artists to have a Gigi’s cupcake named after them.
The new cupcake called, VERY PERRY CHOCOLATE CHERRY,
was inspired by The Band Perry’s new music, a song in particular
called “I’m A Keeper,” from the band’s iTunes Country chart topping CD,
PIONEER.

Kimberly Perry explains, “When we heard that we might have a
Gigi’s cupcake named after us we knew right away what the flavor would
be. There is a song on our new album that has a line in it that says,
‘I’m gonna change my name to Cherry….,’ so we decided that the cupcake
had to be some kind of a cherry cupcake.”

“When Gigi brought the cupcakes by for us to taste them, she
provided two cherry versions for us to sample and then offer our
opinions on. I really couldn’t tell after trying the first one, so I
had to eat several just to make sure. You know, quality control and
all,” says Neil Perry with a big smile.

“We decided to take both versions of the cherry cupcakes and
combine them. What came out of that is a cherry batter cake, with
chunks of cherry topped with chocolate icing, and a cherry on top.
They are delicious. So delicious, that I will be running the stairs
after all of our shows now!” laughs Reid Perry.

“I’m so excited to be working with The Band Perry! They are very
talented and we had a blast creating the Very Perry Chocolate Cherry
cupcake. Our fans are going to love it- just as much as Kimberly, Reid,
and Neil do!” says Gina Butler, “Gigi.”
