Remember those Valentine’s Day candy hearts from elementary school? Cake Life Bake Shop is whipping up Conversation Heart Sugar Cookies, reminiscent of the classic holiday confection. The only question is “Sweet or spicy?”. The “sweet” 3-pack includes cookies piped with messages that are “awww”-inspiring like “I Love You,” “XOXO,” and “Cutie Pie.” The “spicy” 3-pack offer sassy messages that would make some blush with phrases like “Pound Town,” “Eat Me,” and “Giddy Up.” The Fishtown bakery will be offering cookies with house-picked messages for in-store pick-up – custom messaging is available for pre-order only.
“What’s Valentine’s Day without dessert? We’re excited to make your holiday even sweeter, whether you’re shopping for a partner, friend, or family member,” says Nima Etemadi, Co-Founder and CEO of Cake Life Bake Shop. “I know the Hallmark holiday has its loyal fans and haters, but desserts are for everyone! No matter your stance on Valentine’s Day, it’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself or a friend to one of our hand-crafted treats.”
Cake Life Bake Shop is here to satisfy Philadelphia’s sweet tooth with a bevy of confections (made with flour, sugar, and a whole lotta love!) that celebrate all types of relationships; be they romantic, platonic, or somewhere in between. The Fishtown bakery will be serving up its take on the trending Lambeth heart-shaped cake featuring over-the-top, intricate buttercream piping and maximalist decorations, three-layer cakes, cupcakes, and cookies highlighting classic Valentine’s Day flavors like chocolate, raspberry, strawberry, and red velvet, beloved staples fit for a queen like the Funfetti cake (that Beyoncé ordered for her birthday – twice!), in addition to more unique ingredients like orange creamsicle and pistachio.
