Some things, such as cakes and dentist hands, are better small. Eat the superior version of a cake with today's Groupon: for $10, you get one dozen regular or vegan cake balls at Bleeding Heart Bakery (a $21 value). This Groupon is valid at the Oak Park location.

The sustainability-minded chefs at Bleeding Heart Bakery whip organic ingredients into creamy-spired and chocolate-enveloped confectionary creations. Cake balls marry moist, fresh cake and icing, which are rolled into sweet spheres and dipped in pools of velvety chocolate. Luscious german chocolate cake attracts chompers with a whistle only teeth can hear and a chocolate-frosted chocolate cake wrapped in a chocolate shell and rolled in coconut. The Veruca Salt variety dips a fleur de sel caramel cake in white chocolate and cake crumbs. Nine flavors rotate regularly, of which six are often vegan and nine are guaranteed to help catch a feral cookie monster.
