On May 9, 2009, the television show Ace of Cakes, a reality show that chronicles a Baltimore specialty cake bakery called Charm City Cakes, aired an episode titled "LOST in Hawaii". In this episode, Jorge Garcia calls Charm City Cakes and orders a cake to celebrate the 100th episode of Lost. [1] The Charm City Cakes employees travel to Hawaii and prepare an elaborate Lost-inspired cake. The show included numerous parody-style references to the show.

Most of the people at the bakery watch the show, and if they didn’t before they are catching up now on DVD. |
