Denver Cup(cake) Holiday Recipe Guide

Tis' the holiday season and each year, Coach Gwozdecky brings in three cupcakes for the University of Denver hockey team to feast on. Some years don't go as planned and DU falls into a diabetic coma such as 2006 when DU choked on Princeton and Ferris State.

Nonetheless we provide you with three yummy recipes to get you psyched for the Denver Cup.

Holy Cow Cake (Holy Cross)
This is the cake you can take to any Minnesota Gopher Hockey Party. Perfect for children or adults who adore major upsets. RECIPE

Real Pretty Icing (RPI)
Combine all icing ingredients in small mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and well blended. Adjust for spreading consistency if necessary, adding more milk or more confectioners' sugar. Spread icing or drizzle on warm cookies or pound cake. Use the same formula to build a hockey program but subsitute Canadian players and blue chip recruits for the sugar & milk. RECIPE

Boston Cream Pie (Boston University)
There are two questions that immediately come to mind when you hear Boston Cream Pie. One is "Why is it called a pie?", and the other is "Why does BU coach Jack Parker always look grumpy?" To answer the first question of why "pie" instead of "cake", it is probably because colonists baked their cakes in pie tins as they did not own cake pans. As far as Jack Parker is concerned, you'd be grumpy too if the only hardware you bring home each season is the Beanpot. RECIPE
