Roses are Red, but Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake is Better!

The parade of the Roses in L.A. might remind you about that special day of the year when we proudly recognize our affection for a loved one. We're talking about Valentine's Day, and it's right around the corner!

While there are so many innovative Valentine's Day gift ideas out there today the two most common presents still seem to be: 

- a box of goodies (which are usually chocolates) or
- a bouquet of fresh flowers (which are typically roses).  

Sure, the say-it-with-flowers route may be the easiest solution for properly professing your love to someone on the 14th of this month, but why not take the gesture of "I love you" to a whole new level this year--with a Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake from Southern Grocery?!

If the name of this gourmet confection alone isn't enough to sway you from spending a hefty amount on those flowers from your local supermarket, here's a little comparison that may help break you out of that boring bouquet of a tradition...

Roses
The smell: the typical scent of flowers picked from the garden, or even the distinct fragrance that reminds you of your Great Aunt Martha's perfume.
The taste: none. 
Shelf life: dead after 2-3 days.
Response to gift: brief excitement, along with a parking spot for your present at the nearest end table/window sill (only to be soon forgotten).

Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake
The smell: the wafting aroma of melted caramel, continuous whiffs of chocolate fudge and the lingering essence of baked goods (just like Grandma's house).

Shelf life: several weeks (until served. At that point, it could be gone in a matter of minutes).
The taste: could be described with 3 letters... O-M-G. That's short for Ooey, Marvelous & Gooey!
Response to gift: few words of gratitude, but only because your beloved may be too busy indulging.

Still considering flowers?! We surely hope you aren't. This coming Valentine's Day skip that ordinary offering of red roses and send your paramour an edible piece of Heaven from Southern Grocery instead.
