The Blackhawks play their first second-round game against the Minnesota Wild tonight, and our bakeoff player of the day is center Brad Richards.



Brad hails from the tiny fishing community Murray Harbour on Prince Edward Island, which appears to be known for both fish and potatoes. I made fishcakes first because they combine both of those ingredients, but I didn’t like them much. So instead, I went with:

Prince Edward Island Potato Chocolate Cake



Good luck, Blackhawks!

Check out the Apple Maple Strudel with rum soaked raisins hildesstuff baked for Captain Jonny Toews for the game on April 23rd.

And for the game on April 25th, zao-gao baked delicious Apple Dumplings for manchild Brandon Saad!

Would anyone be interested in Playoff Baking for the Blackhawks - that is, baking something for every game they play? I can't bake for every game, so it'd be great to take turns with other crazy baking fans. ;-)

The rules - as set down by fleurrochard and pennyplainknits - are that for each game the Blackhawks play, one player is randomly drawn, and something from their country/region is baked.

fleurrochard and pennyplainknits came up with the idea and are doing the Playoff Bake for the Penguins, and the idea really appeals to me.

(I need a hockey icon.)
