All of life's important moments are marked by one of three things: eating a cake, passing a torch, or signing on the bottom line of a clown-college certificate. Embrace edible celebration with today's deal: for $12, you get $25 worth of cupcakes, cake pops, and custom cakes at Cakes in Love.

Cakes in Love proprietor Amy Grue expertly bakes and adorns cakes, cupcakes, and other stylish confections. Cupcakes ($30+ per dozen) in specialty flavors such as boston cream and piña colada fill festive wrappers with a coconut-topped deluge of pastry and frosting. Smooth, spherical cake pops ($20+ per dozen) perch atop long, elegant skewers topped in colored, candied coats and glittery sprinkles or, for an additional fee, decorated into any rounded likeness, such as Hello Kitty or Grover Cleveland. Cakes in Love also meticulously handcrafts custom cakes ($40+) in 3-D shapes and motifs such as handbags, cartoon characters, or dodecahedrons. The shop requests 48 hours' notice for all orders.
