In the heat of a domestic dispute, a Chicago woman pelted her husband with cupcakes before police arrived to arrest her Saturday night, authorities said.

The sweet evidence of her crime was visible on her husband's head and shirt when officers responded to the home in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side, according to a police report.

On Sunday morning, Cook County Circuit Judge Adam D. Bourgeois Jr. ordered electronic monitoring for the woman and a $10,000 bond. She is charged with a misdemeanor count of domestic battery.

The fight started with a verbal quarrel about 7:45 p.m. at the home in the 4700 block of South Western Avenue, according to a police report, but escalated until the woman started hitting her husband over the head.

After that, she reached for the box of desserts and directed a fusillade of snack cakes at his head and body, her husband told police. Several of the confections apparently hit their mark, as the man's head and shirt were smudged with icing when officers arrived, according to a police report.

He told officers he feared for his safety, and she was verbally aggressive with officers, the report states.

Police said she admitted hurling the treats at her husband.

Records indicate that the alleged victim himself has been arrested three times since 2003 on domestic battery or battery charges. Charges in all three cases were later dropped.

As he left home Sunday, the alleged victim of the cupcake assault declined to comment.

Apparently someone watched "Cupcake Wars" and took the title to heart.

Ken Williams wants to know if she's available when pitchers and catchers report.

I'm claiming "Snack Cake Fusillade" as a band name.

They're a package deal. She's the pitcher, and he... well, he can block passed balls.

Yeah, you can work a lifetime in this industry and never get the opportunity to use a phrase like that.

I might have to use it for my next fantasy football team.

This reminds me of an episode of "Southland" where the trainee is told that the most dangerous calls are domestic violence calls and you never know what is ever going to happen.
