We were craving cupcakes the other day, so we decided to check out Bleeding Heart Bakery, a bakery in Roscoe Village known for its organic and sometimes vegan creations.
This place gets points not only for being organic, but also for being unique. Among their unique cupcake creations are the Elvis (banana cake with candied bacon and chocolate frosting), a caramel apple cupcake consisting of butter poached apple flavored cake with caramel frosting and a spiced pear cupcake with ginger frosting. We wanted to try all of these, but unfortunately organic does not mean fat free, and we each ended up getting a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting.
These were quite good. The frosting was amazing. It was creamy and sweet, but not overwhelmingly heavy. Our only complaint was that the cake was a little dry. Perhaps the cupcakes we had were a day or two old. Despite this, the cupcakes were still delicious and we will certainly be coming back to try some of the more unique flavors. They also change their menu from month to month, which is further incentive to come back. We give Bleeding Heart Bakery an 8.3 out of 10.
