Desserts provide a sweet reward after a difficult task, such as getting out of bed in the morning or negotiating a peace treaty with Nevada. Enjoy the perks of statesmanship with today's Groupon: for $15, you get one dozen specialty cake bombs at Bleeding Heart Bakery (a $31 value). This Groupon is valid at the Elmhurst location, as well as a location opening soon on Belmont Avenue in Chicago.
Confectioners at the full-service Bleeding Heart Bakery—named Chicago’s best bakery of 2011 by the Reader —whisk local, sustainable, and organic ingredients to craft fresh, natural desserts. Specialty cake bombs, available in chocolate-cherry, chocolate-hazelnut, and chocolate-truffle iterations, detonate with flavor like a spice rack tied to a brick of firecrackers. Creamy custard cores bide their time within chocolate-cake walls, with environmentally friendly packaging surrounding each order. The bakery’s punk-rock décor, incorporating pinks, bright greens, and heavily tattooed tabletops, expresses an offbeat creativity, and the purchase of sustainable and local ingredients helps to support the community.

The Groupon Guide to: Employee Benefits
Before starting a new job, make sure your prospective employer offers the following basic benefits:
• Health Insurance: Your medical plan should pay for checkups, hospital visits, and twice-daily atomized vaccine mists administered via your office's sprinkler system.
• 401(k): This is a 401-foot-deep hole where your money is buried so government taxmen can't find it. When you retire, you’re mailed a map to its location.
• Complimentary Cigarette Dish: There should be a bowl of loose cigarettes on the receptionist's desk next to the punch bowl full of Pepsi.
• Solid-Gold Retirement Knife: Should have a pawn value equal to one electric guitar.
• Dignity: Or not.
