Valentine’s Day is here! If you need cupcakes for your sweetie tomorrow, you can’t order from us- we’re completely 110% booked with special deliveries. Fortunately for you, many of our retail partners are stocked with lots and lots of our special V-Day cupcakes and brownies. This is the last time you’ll see the Creme Brulee til December, and the Strawberry Champagne til Mother’s Day, so you’ll want to do what you have to in order to get those. Get your tents our of storage, sleep outside our retail partners, shove people, incite riots- the usual.
This February 14th is a pretty big deal over here in the Robicelli household. I spent every Valentine’s Day of my life single and alone until I met Matt. Then once we met, I spent every Valentine’s Day in a couple, but still alone. As you probably guessed, V-Day is one of the biggest holidays in the food biz, meaning not only were we always working, but we are actually inclined to hate it with the burning passion of a billion fiery suns just a teensy-weensy bit.
In the past two weeks when we were interviewed by Nona Brooklyn and Eat This NY, both asked us what our Valentine’s plans were, and we just shrugged them off and said we were working. Then we remembered that we have employees now and could get off early, and we already have the kids usual sitter watching them, meaning for the first time in my life I could actually theoretically have a real Valentine’s Day.
I’ve finally been choo-choo-chosen!!! I KNEW 2012 was my year!
Problem is that I have no idea what that means. I’m 31 years old and have never had a proper Valentine’s Day in my life. Really, the only advice I’ve got for the day is “buy cupcakes”, and I’m pretty sure Matt will stab me if I do that.
Sooo….ummm……who’s got ideas? I’ve got two days, and all I can think of is bowling. Advice over either Facebook or Twitter would be sorely appreciated.
In other news, congrats to my girl Betty White on your Grammy win! Bea, Rue & Estelle would be proud!
