The Anti-Valentine

Not feeling the love today? Then here, try these Valentines on for sighs.

'Cuz nothing says romance like necrotic tissue!

Another sure-fire mood-killer? Faded pictures of screaming children on motorcycles:

He's yelling, "EWW WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING??"

Maybe you don't want to kill the mood so much as make it really, really confusing:

"Weight 4 me?" "Weight 4 me?" How does that even make sense? I mean, look, I love puns. "Bee Mine" with a honey bee? I'm on board. "I love EWE" with a lil sheep? Adorbz. But what the heck is "Weight 4 me" with a heart lifting hearts? Is this just so meta my brain can't handle it? Who even says "wait for me" on Valentine's Day, much less says it so often they need a visual play on words? How is this a thing? Who thought this was a good idea? AAAAUGGH!

[patting hair back into place]

Ahem.

And finally, when you just plain want to be a jerk:

There's this:

See, it's funny, because the person who ordered this cake probably got the cake thrown at them. Here's hoping, anyway.

Thanks to Jenn W., Gabrielle N., Candi, & Jamie G. for giving us a good idea what NOT to do.

You know what my favorite thing about cupcakes is?
Not having to share.

Those rules still apply here, right?

I guess Valentines' IS all about sharing the love, though, so here:

LOVE.

Or how about this one?

(By Sugar & Spice Gourmandise)

Hand-painted goodness!

Yep, I've got a little something for everyone. Whether you love Disney...

Or steampunk...

(By Sugarplum Cake Shop)

Or classic tattoos...

(By Rock Cakes)

Or ice cream shoes!

(By Cake Heart)

Believe it or not, that's based on real shoes that actually exist, my friends.

So the next time you're feeling blue, I want you to remember that there are ice cream shoes in the world. Instant mood lifter, lemme tell ya.

Another mood lifter? This engagement cake:

I've been staring at this next one forever, and I honestly can't tell if that's real lace or not:

I'll be taking opinions/guesses/bets in the comments.

Red, black, and gold may be classic, but I'm also digging this soft pink-and-gray number:

And last but never least, check out the insanely awesome textures on this one!

(By Precious Taarten)

SO FUN.

Here's hoping you spend V-day with people you love, guys! Or with extra snuggly pets. Or - in a perfect world - both.

Happy Sunday!

I feel like everyone needs a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses, they're just classic and fun:

Oversized Love Sunglasses

I have a heart-shaped pair with metal frames that are my current faves, but after seeing all the cute customer photos for these, I think I want the plastic frames, too. :D Plus they're only $10 Prime, not too shabby.
