Not quite ready for the L-word yet? Sweet Hoboken, a Hoboken, New Jersey, bakery known for its cupcakes, has the perfect cake for couples who have just started dating: "I Like You A Lot." It's a four-inch red velvet cake.

Something else they should offer: a cake that says "... my, uh, friend," piped in shaky script — meant to convey that awkward moment you're on a first date, run into someone you know, and then have to awkwardly convey your date's relationship status to you.
