Valentine’s Day is in a few weeks and those with a significant other or love interest are gearing up for a romantic evening out on the town or at home, but for those without someone are left out of the holiday. Well no more!

This year, Carytown Cupcakes has created some delicious cupcakes that steer away from the tradition sappy and romantic side of Valentine’s Day that can be found inside a Hallmark card, and instead opted for ones that reflect today’s “Contemporary relationships.”

Starting next Mon. Feb. 8., you can enjoy six different kinds of “Un-Valentine’s Day”-themed cupcakes. Carytown Cupcakes’s have created (going clockwise from picture above)”Un-conversation Heart”, “Treat Yo Self”, “Bleeding Heart”, “Galentine’s Day”, “Nothing to Wine About”, and “Netflix & Chill.”

So be like Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle from Parks and Rec and “Treat Yo Self!” or a friend to these delicious looking treats.

Of course, for the lovebirds, Carytown Cupcakes has cooked up something for you too. Their classic cucpakes wll be decorated with little roses and they will offer corsage boxes and long-stemmed rose boxes.

This isn’t the first time Carytown Cupcakes went with a theme for their delicious cupcakes. They baked some Harry Potter-themed cupcakes when Daniel Radcliffe was in town shooting a film in the fall and some Star Wars-themed cupcakes for the newest flick in the sci-fi saga.
