Bleeding Heart Bakery This remarkable Chicago bakery uses only local, organic, and sustainable ingredients to provide thought-provoking pastries that are as delicious as they are beautiful and cutting edge. For their efforts, Bleeding Heart Bakery has won multiple awards, including Top 10 Bakeries in the Nation, Top Bakery in Chicago by Chicago Magazine, Top Bakery by the Small Business Association, and multiple “green” business awards. For owners Michelle and Vinny, local food is just as important as organic food because it leaves less of a carbon footprint and improves the local economy, soil, and more of the local farmers and their workers. To spread their “green” knowledge, Michelle and Vinny began shooting for a new series on TLC! Not only are these sweets socially and environmentally conscious, they are scrumptious!
