Today: Stanley Cupcakes.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I’ve been doing a lot of anxious baking lately:
- Crusty white bread for Bloggers Bake for Hope
- Blueberry crisp
- Molasses cake
- And the pièce de résistance: Whoopie pies!
Something about a high stake athletic event makes me want to retreat to the kitchen. Fortunately, I can see the TV from there. Oddly enough, I can also see the TV from the shower. Who wants to choose between seeing the Bruins crush it and maintaining a normal standard of hygiene? Not me.
In celebration of our Boston Bruins’ being in the Stanley Cup Finals, I made some edible hockey pucks. They may not be the prettiest things, but man, were they good. I added a teaspoon of fresh lime zest to the filling for a little extra kick. These little guys are tastier than Patrice Bergeron’s finger.
Weirdos. Speaking of weird, the Stanley Cup has spent time in some rather interesting places. When the Cup comes to Boston, I’d be happy to fill it with whoopie pies, boys.
Also On Tap for Today:
- Learn how to bake whoopie pies at the BCAE in August
- Attempting to beat the heat
- These look like the perfect hockey treat… because they’re frozen, you know, like ice?
If you won the Stanley Cup, what would you do with it?

I love your Bruins pride!!! So I am looking into signing up for some of the BAA events – i think the one on August 28th and Dec. 18th. I was going to the Harwich half but I will have to be running about 20 miles that day for marathon training but might do the BAA 1/2 the next week 🙂
