A New York bakery chain is looking to pack a spicy punch with its new cupcakes.

Baked by Melissa, a New York-based bite-sized cupcake chain, has released a limited-edition collaboration with Tabasco (yes, the hot sauce). The collaboration features two different flavors, including one cupcake made with a Tabasco-infused cake and, if that isn't enough, a Tabasco-infused cream cheese icing. The cupcakes are available at Baked by Melissa stores in New York and online.
