Mmmm...Chocolate Stanley Cup
Another Stanley Cup has appeared in Chicago! But this one is made of chocolate. The French Pastry School in Chicago has created a six-foot tall, nearly 50 pound chocolate Stanley Cup in honor of the Blackhawks' championship win.

This idea was the brainchild of Chef Jacquy Pfeiffer, who is a new hockey fan. He says after meeting one of the players three weeks ago, and hearing about this "crazy" team with young players and a ton of dedication, he decided to go see a game. Pfeiffer says he took his wife to game one of the Stanley Cup Finals, and decided when the Blackhawks won that game that he needed to do something in case the team won the series. He immediately started working on a chocolate Stanley Cup.

Pfeiffer says he kept the project a secret for a couple more games, then involved some other staff at the school. Altogether, workers spent 150 hours making the cup. It has been given to Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.
