| Soraci's favorite cake, the Green Devil, is made from peanut butter and chocolate cake, with green- and red-dyed white-chocolate ganache. The hair is made up of chocolate modeling paste. |

| The septapus, formerly the octopus, lost an arm in construction. It is made up of peanut butter and chocolate ice cream and and peanut butter and chocolate cake. This was Kerry's most challenging cake. |
