The Bleeding Heart Bakery wows us with their cupcakes

Some bakeries just know how to bring it. They are constantly outdoing themselves in the pursuit of creative, artistic, colorful cupcakes. I have never tried them, but I kinda want to plan a trip to Chicago just to visit The Bleeding Heart Bakery. Here are a few reasons why (I think these are ones we haven't posted before, but even if we have, they're worth revisiting) - all via their Cupcakes Galore photo set. However, I'm pretty sure these were mainly special cupcakes for a limited time. The good thing is, they are constantly serving up new ones! (All descriptions taken verbatim from Flickr)
