I’m really not a sports person.
I didn’t play sports. I don’t watch sports. And I’m ok with that.
The one exception is hockey. Taylor’s a hockey boy. He played hockey in high school, and now, it’s the one sport he enjoys and insists on watching. And I have to admit, I can sit and watch it too. Especially live. And especially when our team is rocking it.
The Nashville Predators may be a relatively new team, but for the first time in franchise history they’ve made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs. And since they pulled off another win last night, there’s still hope they’ll make it to the semis.
We’ve been lucky in that we’ve been able to attend quite a few games this season thanks to our neighbor, Mike, and so when he suggested I make some blue and gold cupcakes, some “Stanley Cupcakes”, I jumped at the chance. I am hoping I jumped prematurely and that we actually have a chance at the cup (in which case I’ll make a few dozen more!), but I didn’t want these cupcakes to go unacknowledged on the off chance we lose (that would be a real buzz-kill).
Of course, I hear blue and gold and immediately think blueberry and lemon, which is a fruity cupcake combination I have not yet tried. One hour and a dozen mini fondant hockey pucks later… voila! Stanley Cupcakes!
So there you have it. My first (and very possibly last) sports post. Go Preds!
Let us know what you think!
