Michelle and Vinny Garcia of Bleeding Heart Bakery just came out with a new book, a compact little number called Who You Callin’ Cupcake, featuring 75 “in-your-face recipes that reinvent the cupcake.” I am all for this. While it’s unlikely I’ll ever make the “Chicago-style cupcake,” featuring marinara sauce and Italian sausage, or the “corn dog” which calls for four all-beef (ideally Vienna) hot dogs and a cup of ketchup, I’m glad they’re in there, and the majority of the recipes look incredibly appealing in theory if not in actual illustration.
