1. Make dinner at home. Find some recipes online, pick up all the fixings at a local market, put on some romantic music and cook together. There’s no PDA when it’s within the walls of your own home, so go ahead – feed each other across the table, too.

2. Go dancing. Even (especially) if you don’t like dancing and your date does, you’ll definitely score some extra points for this one.

3. Take a train. Ride the El or Metra to a neighborhood or town you don’t know so well. Explore. Get lost. Be a little spontaneous.

4. Kidnap your Valentine. Get a room at a nice hotel and pack an overnight bag. Details are important, like remembering her favorite drink garnish or leaving a note in his toiletries kit.

5. Send a surprise to the office. Everyone loves a little attention at work. Nothing says “I love you” like “I love you in front of your colleagues, too.”

Get in on the Foiled Cupcakes Love Bundle and you can take care of #5 like *that.* And bonus: the first 100 people to order the Love Bundle will get a FREE 4-pack of Conversation Heart Cupcakes- just because we love you.

Enjoy!

I love you more than Elvis loved sequins

Thanks for playing! Check out our Weekly Quippie Challenge every Monday morning on Facebook, where we give away a free dozen cupcakes every week.

We’re doing a new thing around here: The Weekly Quippie Challenge!

For those who don’t know, our Quippies are the fun little taglines that go into our cupcakes. Our first set were written up by our copywriter, who came up with
“I love it when you look at me that way”
“Your taste buds might explode”
“I’ve been eyeing you too”
“Check your nose for any leftover frosting”
“Ice cream is evil”
and, like, 100 more.

Here at Foiled Cupcakes HQ, we thought it was time for some new Quippies – and we’d love your input. We’ll put a new Quippie Challenge up on our Facebook wall every week, and one lucky person each week who answers the challenge will get

- a FREE box of cupcakes to keep or give away to a friend, and
- their Quippie featured in our cupcakes in the future!

You have to be a fan on Facebook to participate and play. We’ll post a new challenge every week. Have fun!

Well, remember no more. Now, we’re giving you options.

Order any of the following assortments by 5 p.m. and we’ll deliver tomorrow morning:

Chocolate Favorites - 2 each of Ooey Gooey, Partners in Crime, Give Me S’Mores, Everybody LOVES Chocolate, Caffeine Fix, Minted
Classic Favorites – 2 each of Plain Jane Vanilla, Southern Belle, PB No J, Cheeseberry, Cinnful Apple, Pretzella
Seasonal Favorites - 2 each of our current seasonal offering, including Pecan Pie, Up and At ‘Em, Pear Expressions, Baby Carrot Cake, Scottish Tart, Carrot Cake
Dozen of our Favorites – 1 each of our Classic Favorites and Seasonal Favorites

You can still choose Mix and Match with two days’ notice!

Lots more changes to come, but we had to get this out right away! Lots more to choose from = always a good thing.

Enjoy.

And we put together a Pretty in Pink cupcake assortment that’s only available through Thursday, 10/20 (which you should totally order – get your box here.) Yes, a portion of proceeds goes to Bright Pink, so it’ll make you feel good too.

Of course, no new cupcake promotion is good without the promise of free cupcakes, so here’s how you can get yours:

1 – Post a picture of your favorite pink shoes to our Facebook page between Monday 10/10 and Tuesday, 10/18/11. (What? No pink shoes? Hit us up – we’ll be able to direct you to the nearest shoe store. Seriously.)

2 – The pink shoes with the most “Likes” on Facebook by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, 10/18/11 will get a free box of Pretty in Pink cupcakes.

3 – Our Foiled Cupcakes team will vote on our very favorite pair of pink shoes, who will get a free ticket ($70 value!) to attend Bright Pink’s VIPink event at Saks Fifth Avenue on Thursday, 10/20/11.

If contests aren’t your thing, you can purchase tickets to the VIPink event here so you can still hang out with us. It’s a great cause, and there will be cupcakes. Totally worth it!

Think pink!
