It seems like everyone forgot about standing against major corporations that eliminate DEl and supporting small businesses-only to turn around and go back a few days later for something like cheaper cake. What's the point of starting a movement if everyone abandons it so quickly?

Anti consumption means spending more on cake for Valentine’s Day?  I’d buy cake at big store because I’m poor. I would bake my own cake. I wouldn’t have cake for a Hallmark holiday. Lots of options here. I’m sorry but boutique bakeries have gotten out of control.

Thannnnkk you. I once saw a small cake for $110. The excuse was it was hand made for the holiday and I was like "aren't all of your cakes handmade though?"
