Is Valentine’s Day only about romantic dinners? We think not. February 14 is ideal for curling up on the couch with cake balls and the love of your life, regardless if they walk on two legs or four. If you know the object of your love has a sweet tooth, Valentine’s Day is your opportunity to cash in on an easy sugary gesture, delivered directly to them from you.
We think you and someone you love deserve a sweet treat, so keep reading and find out how you can both win a cake from Fluff Bake Bar for Valentine’s Day!

Ooh La La Dessert Boutique
Multiple locations
The bake shop will deliver any of these new-to-the-menu treats – as well as the trusty old standby goodies – if your order is $100 or more. The delivery charge is $10. Why slave over the hot oven and risk a Pinterest fail when you can have these delivered to your office or home?
New flavors include mini chocolate chip cookie cakes (photo at top), confetti heart macarons, XO macarons and truffles and ginormous chocolate strawberry eclairs.
For smaller desserts-on-demand, consider ordering Ooh La La sweets through DoorDash. Pre-orders for specialty desserts delivered by Ooh La La should be placed two days in advance by 1 pm.
♥ Does your valentine prefer both sweet and savory? Give someone you love (or yourself) a 1-year subscription to My Table magazine for just $30. If it’s a gift, we’ll even send them a love note in the mail announcing your romantic gesture. Make sure to get your order in by this Friday, February 10, for Valentine’s Day arrival. ♥

Houston’s Sugar Fairy, Rebecca Masson, is running a special through Favor Delivery from Friday, February 10, through Tuesday, February 14. (Don’t have the app? Download it from the app store and use my code, “TAYLB6V” at checkout – you’ll save $5 off your first Favor purchase.) The special “His and Hers ” cakes – or “His and His,” “Hers and Hers” or “Me, Myself and I” cakes – are two four-inch round cakes for $35 (photo above). The order includes one of Masson’s signature veruca salt flavor (devil’s food cake with salted caramel buttercream frosting and a pretzel crunch) and one black velvet, which she describes as “a blend of red velvet, cream cheese frosting, cherry jam and dark chocolate pearls.” Share your flavor with your special someone, or don’t share at all … it’s your call. Masson says it is “more for shmearing all over each other” anyway.
