Ace of Cakes LOST in Hawaii

Duff and the creative cast of Charm City Cakes are in Hawaii filming for their Food Network hit, Ace of Cakes. Through clandestine means, I learned about the filming at Tropics Community Activity Center on Schofield Barracks and being a fan, headed there to find a mass of cake fanatics.

We waited in the long line that wrapped around the Community Center but got to see Duff give an interview in the back of Tropics.

Surprisingly, the line moved quickly, and we were packed inside in a matter of minutes.

Duff, Geoff, Mary Alice, and the rest of the cast were introduced, and the show was underway. Duff explained that Ace of Cakes was in Hawaii for several reasons. First of all, the show was invited to Hawaii by Army fans stationed here. Still though, the cost to bring the cast and crew to Hawaii would be too much both for the Food Network channel and the Army. This is where the mega-ABC hit, LOST, stepped in. You see, LOST members are also big fans of the creativity of Charm City Cakes, and you know where LOST is filmed right?

So the big budget of LOST paid for Ace of Cakes to come to Hawaii! During their stay, Ace of Cakes filmed an episode, Duff and the crew accepted their Army invitation to Hawaii, and Hawaii fans benefitted. Not only that, but of course, Duff would need to work his cake magic while in the Islands and he did so, twice.

Going back to LOST for a bit. To return the generosity, Duff created a cake for LOST to be unveiled sometime soon. Sources say Duff met Jorge Garcia earlier this week, but the LOST cake is still a shrouded mystery like the show itself.

Back at Schofield, Duff designed a cake dedicated to the servicemen and women in the Army, and it looks like this…

Spoiler Alert! Don’t watch the video if you do NOT want to see the cake.

It was too crowded, so I didn’t stick around to try to meet Duff, Geoff, or Mary Alice or get closer pictures. I did get a picture of the non-big-three.

A few more pictures in my Picture Gallery.

Thanks Ace of Cakes (and LOST)! And thanks to Schofield security and the staff of Tropics for keeping everything under control and accommodating all fans.
