Happy Leap Day! Today is that special, magical day which only occurs every four years in order to realign the calendar with the earth’s rotation around the sun. Since it takes the planet approximately 365 days and 6 hours to complete an orbit, the extra time adds up to a full day every 4 years.

What to do with this extra day? We have an idea. Why not leap ahead in your meal and eat dessert first today? Since this year has an extra day, you should do everything you can to make it a sweet one!

Wouldn’t one of these cupcakes make you leap out of your seat to seize the extra day?

In some countries, Leap Day tradition calls for a leap of much larger proportions – a proposal. Not just any proposal, however; in this tradition, the woman asks the man. If you’re dreaming up a Leap Day proposal, our talented decorators can make cakes and sweets to commemorate the occasion.

Whether you’re simply indulging a bit extra on the year’s extra day, or planning a larger lifetime leap, you shouldn’t waste today – you don’t get another chance to live it up on February 29 until 2020!
