Occasionally Cake is for Lovers

Posted by Sally Traynham / Thursday, February 9th, 2012

February is all about feeding the heart. While the love-centric holiday that arrives every 14th is in the fore-front of most everyone’s mind, don’t forget to spread the love about American Heart Month.

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in women. Its importance has led to the development of the Million Hearts Campaign, an initiative supported by the American Heart Association and launched by The Department of Health and Human Services to prevent heart disease and strokes over the next five years.

Feel good about indulging this Valentine’s Day by wearing red and visiting Occasionally Cake, an Alexandria cake boutique this Friday, Feb 10. Valentine’s Day themed goodies available to order (through Feb. 11) include Occasionally Cake’s: Valentine’s Day Love Cake, Jumbo Cupcake Box and Cake Truffle Box. By wearing red and purchasing your sweet this Friday, 10 percent of your purchase will be donated to the American Heart Association.

And to top it off, Occasionally Cake will hand you a free cupcake. Happy American Heart Month!

Can’t make it on Friday? Visit our online Valentine’s Day Guide or check out a few of our past blog posts (on Dessert Shops and Five New Ways to Food) for more ideas on how to indulge this Valentine’s Day.
