Seriously, people: Food folk wouldn’t continue bombarding you with news of last-minute Valentines options if you’d just make those reservations and purchase that teddy bear holding a heart a little further in advance. If you’re in need of some sweets for your sweet, Trophy Cupcakes has reopened its Pacific Place popup shop through the end of February.

The shop is on the mall’s third floor, next to the bridge to Nordstrom, and offers packs of favorite seasonal flavors, including salted caramel, red velvet, and dark chocolate raspberry. The temporary digs are open until 8pm, but stop by early for the best selection. Today is also the last day to score the infamously decadent Deathcake over at Cupcake Royale. And if cupcakes don’t get you out of procrastinator purgatory, there’s always drinking.
