vegan cupcakes
One of the best places in Chicago for cupcakes and baked goods, besides our wonderful Beans and Bagels around the corner, is surprise surprise...a punk rock, vegan bakery with zombies painted on the walls, called Bleeding Heart Bakery . Check out their website for the tattoo cakes!
I'm going to be out of town for my birthday next weekend, so John, Rudy and Margot took me for a birthday (cup) cake this weekend. Rudy had a chocolate with raspberry frosting cupcake and I had chocolate chocolate (of course) and Margot had a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. John abstained as he had played soccer in the morning and his tired, dehydrated body was craving something salty. He opted for a quiche. How do you make vegan quiche? I have no idea, but it was excellent.
Margot walked around the bakery pointing at the zombies and roaring really loudly to the amusement of the patrons and staff.
John and Rudy working their punk attitudes in the mirror. Notice the drum kit and guitar in the background. I'll post a video of Margot and zombies soon. After the bakery we went across the street to the park to play. While we were there we met a lovely family with a little boy and girl about a year younger than Rudy and Margot. The boy is awfully allergic to all kinds of food, especially eggs and nuts. His mother had never heard of the Bleeding Heart Bakery so we were telling her all about it. She was extatic to find out about it. Just passing on the vegan love...are you?
