Last Saturday night, some folks in Philly got together to throw a Battlestar Galactica party. When it came to the dessert, they knew that they didn't need to look any further than local baker Zoë Lukas (she's the one who created those those really cool Robert Indiana cookies that I posted about a few months ago).
She didn't let them down, creating a work of art out of chocolate devil's food cake. It is filled with raspberry jam and ganache, iced with chocolate buttercream and ganache, decorated with chocolate ships and explosions, silver dragees and silver and gold space dust. Lukas is in the process of opening her own bakery in Philadelphia and I think I speak for the entire when I say, we can't wait.

It is actually spelled Galactica with two Cs (perhaps your spell checker is not configured to include phony, made-up TV show words).

I know you don't really know me, but I live in Philly, and I can't BELIEVE I wasn't invited to a party that involved BSG AND chocolate cake!

While I'm sure it was a delicious cake and it's much better than I could do it's still just a cake with a ship tossed on it.
I may have been spoiled by that lovely Discworld cake though. I seriously can't imagine wanting a cake to look that good.
