Probably not; it’s a little too colorful to be worthy of the black-and-white Dharma octagon logo.
However, in a bout of true geekery, my wife and I concocted the confection pictured here as our addition to the spread at the LOST premiere event we attended last night. Though it was just us and one other couple, it was a grand occasion, filled with much gasping and haphazard theorizing. Hopefully we’ll have a recap/review of the premiere later on, but for now, simply enjoy the flour-and-frosting-based reproduction of some of the island’s key landmarks. Our apologies if your favorite locale was left off the cake; it simply wasn’t big enough for everything.
Of note, the layout of the cake was loosely based on actual maps of the island contrived by fans based on information gleaned from the show. A guide for those who may need it (moving clockwise):
- The carved-off part is the sandy beach, complete with airplane fuselage (yes, I know the cockpit landed elsewhere on the island; we didn’t have a toy fuselage…just a full plane. I also am aware that it doesn’t say “Oceanic.” Work with me…).
- Next, we see the golf course built by the castaways, complete with a sprinkle fairway, a toothpick flag, and a golf ball, played by the part of a solitary lemon Nerds candy.
- The portion of the ocean where the tail section landed is clearly visible.
- Also, the dock and submarine (thanks to our game of Battleship and a box of graham cracker sticks) that belonged to The Others.
- Nearby, courtesy of Monopoly pieces, is the village of New Otherton, as it was occasionally called.
- You can see the hill upon which sits Rousseau’s radio tower and transmission station.
- In the center of the island is the infamous hatch (complete with The Numbers).
- And, of course, a polar bear. Why not?
How about you? Anyone else enjoy some LOST premiere festivities?
