Valentine’s Day has a reputation for being all about giant bouquets and high-pressure dinner reservations, but at Island Flavors and Tings, we believe the holiday is actually about one thing: indulgence. Whether you’re flying solo and practicing some well-deserved self-love, or you’re part of a dynamic duo doing it big this year, we have the perfect treats to make your February 14th feel like a tropical escape.
The Solo Celebration: Treat Yourself
Who says you need a plus-one to enjoy a gourmet dessert? If you’re spending Valentine’s Day solo, consider it the perfect opportunity to have the whole cake to yourself. No sharing, no compromising on the flavor—just you and a fork.
For the solo adventurer, our Red Velvet Rum Cake is a vibe all its own. It’s vibrant, sophisticated, and incredibly moist. The subtle cocoa notes of the red velvet paired with our signature rum glaze create a flavor profile that is bold yet comforting. It’s the ultimate “main character energy” dessert. Pair a slice with your favorite movie or a long soak in the tub, and you’ve got a Valentine’s date that is actually stress-free.
The Dynamic Duo: A Match Made in Heaven
If you are celebrating with your favorite person, our cakes are designed to spark a little bit of romance (and maybe a little bit of friendly competition over the last bite). Instead of a standard box of grocery store chocolates, elevate your date night with our Double Chocolate Mocha Rum Cake.
This cake is for the couple that loves deep, rich flavors. The fusion of chocolate and coffee creates a sophisticated mocha base that is intensified by the warmth of Caribbean rum. It’s decadent, it’s dark, and it pairs perfectly with two forks and a quiet moment together. Whether you’re ending a home-cooked meal or enjoying a picnic at the St. Pete Pier, this cake is the ultimate finishing touch to a romantic evening.
Order Ahead for Your Perfect Day
No matter your relationship status, the secret to a successful Valentine’s Day is preparation. Our Red Velvet and Double Chocolate Mocha rum cakes are in high demand, so don’t leave your dessert to chance!
Stop by our Gulfport restaurant or our St. Pete Pier location to secure your treats, or order online for nationwide shipping if you want to send some love to a solo or duo far away. This year, let’s skip the cliches and stick to what really matters: incredible flavor and a little bit of island magic.
