Assorted Goodies Wagered By Guvs On Super Bowl
Boston Creme Pie cupcakes from Springfield's Koffee Cup Bakery aren't yet the official cupcake of Massachusetts, but they've made it into another one of Gov. Charlie Baker's sports bets.
Baker put up an assortment of goodies from local culinary establishments against a menu of Philadelphia food stuffs wagered by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf on the outcome of Sunday's Super Bowl in Minneapolis.
The New England Patriots are playing in their third Super Bowl in four years and trying to win a sixth championship, while the Philadelphia Eagles are gunning for their first Super Bowl win.
In addition to the cupcakes, Baker bet lemon squares from the same bakery, Legal Sea Foods clam chowder, apple cider donuts from Smolak Farms in North Andover, apple pie, chicken pot pie and maple syrup from Hollis Hills Farms in Fitchburg and Grillo's pickles from Needham.
Wolf, in turn, offered up Federal Donuts, soup from the Rooster Soup Company, Reading Terminal Market scrapple, coffee from La Colombe in Philadelphia, and donated pizza slices from Rosa’s Fresh Pizza, a Philadelphia pizzeria that feeds the homeless.
The winnings will be donated to a local food pantry of the winning governor's choosing
