ABOUT THE AUTHORS
MICHELLE AND VINNY GARCIA opened Bleeding Heart Bakery in Chicago in 2004 with the mission of providing thought-provoking pastry as delicious and beautiful as it is cutting edge. In late 2009, they opened a second Chicago location. They are also the owners of Smash Cake, a kid-focused bakery, also in Chicago. Michelle was named ACF region pastry chef of the year in 2006, and Bleeding Heart Bakery has won many awards, including Top Bakery in Chicago by Chicago magazine, and was named one of the top ten bakeries in the nation by an online poll. Veteran contestants on Food Network Challenge, Michelle and Vinny have competed in numerous cake contests. They live in Chicago.
