USVI-On-Line

A bunch of gals from work get together once a month, have a potluck dinner, drink wine and laugh. The day after, we share the recipes we ate. Well, one of the gals is 50 yrs old this month so I made her a LOST themed cake. Here is the recipe I sent to the group:

Here’s my recipe for LOST cake:



First:

If you don’t already have these is your pantry, you’ll need to purchase:

an already frosted cake
white frosting & gel food coloring & cheap plastic decorating tips
cake candles
graham crackers

If you don’t already have these is your toy box, you’ll need to purchase:

a 70% off dinosaur park kit (who doesn’t have this?)
a plastic polar bear
a Styrofoam plane

Then:

Mix 3 different batches of yellow, blue & green gel food coloring the white frosting and set aside

Clean up the frosting from the counters, toaster and, oddly enough, the floor behind you (how the hell did that happen?)

Place some graham crackers in a small Ziploc bag and pound the crackers with a MEAT hammer until they resemble “sand”

Scrape the stuff off the top of the already frosted cake

Spread colored frosting on the top of the cake in 3 individual sections: Ocean, Beach, Forest

Sprinkle the pounded “sand” graham cracker over the yellow section ONLY (dang it)

The Aftermath:

Try to fix the piping on the bottom of the cake (you scraped it against the bottom of the toaster at least 3 times and had a total meltdown each time- poor Greg)

Sprinkle leftover “sand” on the botched piping instead- voila!

Attempt to use the plastic decorating tips- swear a lot

Delivery day:

Break plane in half

Stick broken plane, candles, plastic trees, plastic people, plastic polar bear and plastic rocky out cropping into cake

Light candles

ENJOY!

Reminds me of a cake my wife once made for me. I can't speak of it in mixed company because you either find it horribly offensive of beyond hysterical. I don't know hat camp you all fall into.

If you believe that tragedy + time = comedy, you may enjoy it

um, yeah, totally intrigued now.

in many cases horribly offensive IS beyond hysterical.

If you think that recreating the tragic death of a famous figure in cake form is funny, then this is your cake. If you're sensitive in any way, it's not for you.

I once posted a picture of it on another board and was told that if I ever went to Alabama, I would be killed.

Mind you, the cake had nothing to do with Alabama.

ok, ok, for the overly sensitive here i will not pressure you.

however, there's a blog i know of that is run by a guy i know of on this forum. something a bout being a bad father figure. maybe posty-post a little info bout the cake over there? hmmmmm?

If I lost the med cake I could turn violent too. So many voices, so little time.

Cheers, RickG

Yea...that could be done, couldn't it? Not saying it has been done, but it could be done. Hmmm...
