Geek This, Not That is a recurring Geek Out Huntsville spot that encourages Tennessee Valley residents to geek it up a little by supporting their community establishments.

Whether dining at local restaurants over chains, eating locally baked bread over the store variety, or just recycling smarter, the goal is to nerd your life and support your community simultaneously. If everyone were to take the smarter alternative, the city would be a better, nerdier place.

Huntsville Valentine’s Day Gifts: Sweets

With Valentine’s Day approaching, it’s time to look at local Huntsville Valentine’s Day gifts options for one crucial Cupid cliche: sweets.

Whether you’re eating dessert alone or sharing with a special someone (or something), avoid the CVS route as SNL advises.

Instead, go with one of these local sweet shops for your Valentine Candy needs.

Cupcakes: Sugar Belle Cupcake Truck

Try some scrumptious cupcakes from the Sugar Belle Cupcake Truck mobile assault vehicle, now at it’s new home downtown across from Below the Radar.

Candy: Pizelle’s

Or for delectable nuggets of delectability, get a box of inventive truffles from Pizzelle’s Confections, which has gourmet treats that are exquisitely pleasing not only aesthetically but also palatably.

Desserts: Peggy Ann Bakery

If you want a confection, Peggy Ann Bakery has, among other desserts, petit fours.

Gluten Free:  Mason Dixon Bakery

For those going the gluten free route, Mason Dixon Bakery has a wide variety of baked goods.

All of these options not only taste better than the mass-produced stuff in cellophane-clad, heart-shaped boxes, they’re all made right here in Huntsville.
