LOST Finale: DHARMA Initiative Cake and Pizza
Remember the Battlestar Galactica cake? For last night’s LOST finale, Katie made an authentic DHARMA Initiative chocolate cake, and pizzas with the Swan and Orchid logos.
The cake is chocolate, with homemade buttercream icing (vanilla for the background, chocolate for the design). The pizzas have an outer ring of sausage, with bell pepper strips for the I Ching. The Swan logo is cut from a bell pepper. The Orchid is cut from a tomato, and placed on the pizza after baking.

Cashew! (Gesundheit)
Ack! Who puts cashews on Hawaiian pizza?
Apparently Red Brick Pizza does. They kindly made a replacement without them.

Constant Vigilance!
It was listed on the menu, and I should have looked more closely…but who expects nuts of any kind on Hawaiian pizza? It’s standard: crust, tomato sauce, cheese, ham, and pineapple. Checking for nuts on that would be like checking for strawberry jam on a cheeseburger.
Only in San Diego?
Well, we made it to San Diego, and if you’re reading this, we managed to scrounge up an Internet connection. The drive down was fairly uneventful, and we arrived too late to do much sightseeing, but we still managed to find some interesting sights.
For example, when we walked into our hotel room, we found a pizza flyer shoved under the door, and the following stand-up card on our table:
OK, so they have deals with some places, but come on! Garage operations with "unsafe" pizza?! I suppose it’s possible, though.
For those Babylon 5 fans, here’s an excerpt from the dining guide:
And we encountered another relative of Boba and Jango Fett at dinner:
While driving back to the hotel, we missed a turn and ended up driving through the seedier part of town (we passed no less than three nudie bars). We also spotted a restaurant calling itself "Extreme Pizza" (which might explain the card in our room) and a movie theater with an interesting cross-section of Hollywood:
- Hellboy
- Kill Bill
- Passion of the Christ
Sadly, we didn’t have a chance to capture either on fil– uh, pixels.
