Night of the living cake - Camper's Choice
The plate of Brunch of Delightness is darker than usual, only some candles light up the studio, and eerie sounds can be heard in the midst of the silent room.
In front of the judge's Table, Sylvia is wearing a black hooded cloak, and holding a candlestick in front of her, under her cloak, she is wearing an elegant black long dress with a slit.
"Welcome mortals, to one of the scariest episodes of your favorite baking show, the Brunch of Delightness, the television show where we put three brave Total Drama campers to compete in 2 spooky rounds of culinary challenges for a prize of 10,000 dollars," says Sylvia, making an eerie voice for the last part.
"I am your host in this dreadful night, Sylvia Sweet, and this is the Halloween episode of our show, but don't be afraid, because we will bring three of the favorite heroes in the show to help us, who will conquer these night terrors and win the prize? Stay tuned to find out," Sylvia blow the candle, and the room darkens.
After some seconds, the light on the room turns on, with Sylvia in the same place but without her cloak.
"Now let's meet our brave campers," Sylvia points toward the camper door with all her arm, from there, two girls and a boy come in walking.
First camper Introduction
(The young woman was the tallest of the three, of tanned complexion, with purple hair in a short ponytail, and black eyes, she wears turquoise capris, a yellow cropped tube top, green flats and a locket on her neck. She also wears a white apron with the message "Kiss the Cody" instead of "Kiss the cook.")
"My name is Sierra, and I am Total Drama third season 4th place. I am so happy to be here today," said Sierra smiling.
"But If you wanna know, I have more impressive rankings, for example, I am the number 1 member of Cody fan club, number 5th and founding member of the Drama Brothers Fan Club, and the number 1 fan of the Total Drama franchise. I know everything about everyone," said Sierra winking at the camera.
The program shows a home video of Sierra taking out of the oven a cake that looks like Cody's head, just bigger. The Cody-cake is smiling, but without the gap on his teeth, so she cut out a slice of cake from the smile to make the gap, smiling at the now finished cake.
"Sadly, I don't have much free time to learn how to bake, but I have been studying the basics, to make cookies and cakes for my Codikins, and I decide to come to the program to test how much I have learned," Sierra's eyes sparkle as she speaks of Cody.
"I know I can win this, because if you have watched the Brunch of Delightness, they usually put the best bakers between the campers as judges, and leave the worst as competitors, so I can do this," said Sierra smiling confidently.
"With the prize money I will take baking lessons to improve more, and on April make a big birthday cake for Cody, nothing romantic, only as friends, but if he falls in love with me after tasting my cooking, well, I will not reject him, EEEEEEEEEEE, I said it in international TV," Sierra squee as she put her hands on her cheeks, blushing.
Second camper Introduction
(The young man walking in the middle is also tall, but not as much as the first girl, he is of brown complexion, thin build, his hair is black and combed on spikes, brown eyes and a gap on his teeth, he wears a teal t-shirt with yellow borders, denim pants, and tan sneakers, over his outfit he wears a gray apron with a ghost in the center)
"My name is Mike, and I am Total Drama Fifth season runner-up, cool right?" said Mike rubbing his neck
"I didn't plan to come here in the first place, but a friend sent the application for me, and when I was accepted, well, WHY not? I can test my skills and see how far I can go, I may not look like I can do it, but I am resourceful, so let's have some fun," Mike make a smile showing the gap in his teeth.
Then it's shown a home video of Mike, he is without his shirt cracking some eggs on his head and putting them in a bowl, then he put a shirt and gasps, after recovering he goes spinning and jumping toward the hand mixer, and spinning some more while mixing, he then gasps again and put the batter in a pan while protesting, then putting it in the oven.
"Hehehe, I don't know the first thing about baking, I can cook some simple dishes, but baking is something completely different, but a recipe is a recipe, so how hard can it be?" Mike gives thumbs up, but there is a little tension on his gaze.
"I came here because my friends insist it is fun, so here I come, I really don't think I can win this, but at least I will do my best as always," Mike take a deep breath and smile.
"With the prize, I would like to buy a present for my girlfriend, a big, beautiful and lovable gift to show her how much I care for her, there are no other things I would like to buy, but a part of me would like a fedora, new sneakers, hair gel and a Moka pot, sigh, sometimes I hate some parts of me," Mike looks tired as he sighs.
Third camper Introduction
(The third camper on the right side is a Hispanic girl of tanned complexion, the shorter of the three, she is a brunette with black eyes, shoulder-length straight hair, and freckles, she wears a white shirt, with a gray top over it, olive capris and wedges, over it she wears a white apron with a skull on the middle).
"My name is Courtney, nice to meet you, and my best ranking in Total Drama was during Second Season 4th place," Courtney said in a neutral tone with a polite smile.
"I am glad to be here tonight, as it's an opportunity to be in a game show where you don't risk your life, or your dignity, even if it's part of the Total Drama franchise, so I hope there are no nasty surprises," the A-type smile, but it was NOT a happy smile.
The home video it's taken from a lower perspective, it shows Courtney wearing glasses and putting a carefully measured cup of flour into a bowl, she then measure another cup, filling it meticulously and throwing the excess back into the bag until it's exactly a cup, she then noticed the camera, and surprised cover the lens with her hand.
"I am no baker at all, I am a musician, law student, tennis player, a counselor, but not a baker. I tried to learn how to bake some years ago, but that's it, I haven't bake anything in months, but I have a pretty good memory, so everything I learned then will be of use in this competition," she said as she folds her arms.
"Of course, I will win, after all, we are on the same starting point, and baking is all about planning, organization and following the recipe precisely, and nobody can do it better than me, well except maybe DJ, but luckily he will not be my opponent," Courtney smile proudly.
"I am not quite interested in the prize money, I will save it to pay part of the fees at law school, and maybe I will pamper myself and buy an electric violin, I have an acoustic violin, but the electric is a different instrument that I am learning, you know I am curious and always looking for new experiences," Courtney looks at the camera an make a small, more sincere, smile.
"Hello Sierra, Mike, and Courtney, in this dreadful episode, we will need you, three of the most popular heroes in the show, to do your best to make some spooky treats on this Hallow Eve," said Sylvia on an eerie voice.
"Hehehe, I am not sure if Courtney should be considered a Hero, after all that happened," said Sierra chuckling.
"Sierra, we were together in two teams already, you should know that I am a hero, yes maybe in the second season I was a bit over-competitive but was the heat of the moment," Courtney glare at Sierra.
"Come on, we were all hamsters. Let's not fight over the past," said Mike trying to mediate between them.
"Mike is right ladies, let's keep it civil, we are not enemies, only competitors," said Sylvia smiling.
"Sorry, I went too far," said Sierra rubbing her neck while Courtney pouted and glared at her.
"No problem," said the LIT(Lawyer in training) in a cold voice.
(On Screen Lower third: Sylvia Sweet – Mistress of the cake)
"Well, with us is, as always, our main judge. The terror of the night spawns, vampire hunter in his free time, and my personal hero, Chef Hatchet," Sylvia make a bow and point toward Chef with her full arm, who is standing at her left side, with a hockey mask.
(On Screen Lower third: Chef Hatchet – Sylvia's Hero)
"Well heroes, tonight, you will be put in a test of courage and culinary skills…" Chef stops reading and looks at Sylvia.
Chef put away his mask, frowning, "Do I really have to say this?".
"Yes, it's to set the mood, please, Chefy," whispered the host, Chef huffed but nodded.
"Well heroes, tonight you will be put in a test of courage and culinary skills, will you rise to the challenge we will put before you in this hallowed night? Or you will fail miserably as many others before you? Remember, only one of you can be the winner," said Chef in a condescending voice, in contrast to his heroic speech.
"Thanks, Chef, that was beautiful," said Sylvia "I also want to introduce tonight's special guest, though he doesn't need an introduction, he is not only a survivalist, part-time cake decorator, and zombie expert but also the Total Drama season 6 winner, Shawn!" Sylvia faces to the guest at her right side, clapping.
(Shawn is a nervous-looking man, with long brown shaggy hair, black eyes, and a goatee beard only on his chin, he wears a white shirt with high neck and long sleeve, an orange vest, blue cargo pants with a belt, grey sneakers, and a green beanie)
(On Screen Lower third: Shawn – Zombie and cake expert.)
"Hello, Sylvia, glad to be here tonight, after all the studio have at least 3 evacuation routes, and 2 emergency exits we can use in case we need it." Shawn looks at the sides of the studio, alert at any sudden movement.
"That's the Shawn we all love, well heroes, let's get started" Sylvia smile and look at the campers.
Camper's choice.
"Behind door number 1, we have some of the scariest desserts you have ever met, are you brave enough to select and reproduce one of this nightmare born delicious treats? Then choose your favorite from these Halloween Horror cake pops," said Sylvia as the door opens, making a squeaky sound.
Inside the door is a small cemetery, on it, there are three vaguely humanoid figures, a gigantic spider of purple color standing like a human, a green-skinned zombie, and a big man with a hockey mask, a chainsaw and instead of hand a hook.
Sierra jaw dropped, Mike cover his mouth and nervously laugh, and Courtney's eyes went wide before looking toward the host.
"Are those even cake pops? They look like toys. There is no way we can make those," said Courtney in a loud voice.
"Don't worry, anyone would be scared, but you fear them because you don't know them, the boney Island Giant spider, the zombie lord and The Psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook, they are three horrors of the night, but their true form are cake pops.
"Only the heads and bodies are cake pops, the limbs are made of plastic chocolate with the details made on fondant, now they are not as scary, right?" Sylvia explains.
The three campers look at her unimpressed.
"Well, I don't care if you still think they are hard to make, it's camper's choice, so choose yours NOW," said Sylvia pointing with her arms at the door.
"Make way to Svetlana, queen of Olympics" before Courtney or Sierra could react, Mike gasp and make a quick long jump toward the pop cake, Sierra followed and then Courtney, the LIT couldn't dodge the uber-fan and get the last of the three cake pops.
The three campers walk to the center, Mike gasp and walk a little confused with the spider on his hands, Sierra was smiling with the zombie on her hands, and Courtney was fuming with the killer with the hook and the chainsaw in his hands.
"This one is obviously more difficult to make than the other two, look at all the details it has," protests Courtney glaring at her opponents.
"You will be fine, Courtney, only make your best effort," said Sylvia smiling, "Shawn, do you have some advice to the campers?"
"Stay alert and be ready at any moment, also learn to improvise, if you do not know how to flex, you will break and become zombie's dinner," said Shawn, nodding.
"Are you giving us advice about making cake pops, right?" asked Mike
"Sorry, the time for questions is over, you now have 45 minutes, so go for it, the time is running out," said Sylvia in her melodic voice.
Sierra and Mike run to their kitchens, as Courtney opens her mouth to say something and then run as well. At the same time, the three judges walk to their table to watch the competition.
Judge Table
Shawn looks under the table before sitting at it, he smiles and faces toward Chef and Sylvia.
"Don't be so nervous, Shawn, we are fine, there are no zombies on the studio," said Sylvia smiling.
"I am not nervous, I am only cautious and alert, you never know when it will be the beginning of the end," Shawn said while looking behind him.
"Shut up, do you really believe all that bullshit you are spouting?" Ask Chef frowning, hitting the table with his fist.
"He, you are only one of the ignorant victims of the government, that's why you don't think for yourself and call what I say bullshit," reply Shawn in a serious tone, looking coldly at Chef.
"Please don't start a debate about this now, Chef, why you don't tell us how to make this scary monster treats?" interrupt Sylvia, trying to defuse the situation.
"There is nothing hard to do, they had to make the cake and the buttercream, make the cake pop, put it in the wireframe, make the body and decorate, it's pretty easy, but these damn amateurs will not finish in 45 minutes."
"It will be interesting how they decorate the cake pop. They need to cover it in the chocolate and then cool it because any decoration put on a warm cake will melt," said Shawn.
"Not bad wacko, you know your business," said Chef grinning.
"You are not bad yourself, a shame that when it starts, you will be a zombie free meal," said Shawn, also grinning.
Mike Table
"Ok, so I have to make the cake, make the cake pop, and decorate, it doesn't seem too hard, maybe I can win this after all," said Mike as he walks toward the storage room.
"I need some pans and also, OUCH" Mike was walking between the shelves when he stubbed his pinky toe against a corner, he cries a little and then gasps.
"Oh, darn it, that hurt like hell, stupid shelve, in my days, they were not as sturdy, and when you kick them, they broke, not you!" Mike began to talk like an old man with one eye closed, he was now Chester, one of Mike's alternate personalities.
"Look at these, are they making cakes? That's some fancy treat. I am a little rusted but let's bake some of my secret recipes," said Chester looking into the shelves.
He then takes some ingredients and a hand mixer and returns to his kitchen.
"What's this, they don't use recipe books, they use this stupid screens that harm my eyes," he then turn off the PDA "that's better, anyway I know the recipe by heart, so let's start," Chester then began to open the flour and ignore the bag of cake mix.
Courtney Table
"Cake mix, eggs, and oil, then put in the pan, sounds easy enough," said the L.I.T. as she reads the recipe. "It's a shame, I should have baked some more, I forgot it could be so entertaining."
Courtney goes to the storage room and brings a digital scale; she then began to measure the cake mix and put it in the bowl.
"Courtney, in the home video you appear wearing glasses, don't you need them now?" asked Sylvia.
"I bring contacts, I only use glasses at home," said Courtney, now weighing the eggs.
"What are you doing now, Courtney?" asked Sylvia, interested in what was the A-type doing.
"Selecting the eggs, the recipe needs three, so I am looking three eggs with the same weight," answered Courtney
"Why?" asks Sylvia trying to not laugh.
Courtney sighs "So I don't use more egg than the necessary, now please stop the questioning, I need to focus on the challenge," Courtney smile as she finds the third egg that weighs the same.
"That girl needs to learn to be more easygoing," said Sylvia.
"NO! please let her be uptight, you don't want to see her when she lets her hair down," said Chef, shaking his head.
Sierra Table
"This is too easy, I only need to think I'm baking for Cody and all the steps seems trivial, it's a shame he isn't a judge so he could taste it," said Sierra dancing a little as she put the ingredients on the stand mixer.
"Sierra, we want to ask you something," said Sylvia at the Ubber-fan.
"That's novel. Usually, I am the one asking questions, please go ahead," replies Sierra while greasing her pan.
"Why are you using your own apron instead of the one we give you for the episode?" asked Sylvia. All the aprons for the guest have a Halloween design, but hers have a "Kiss the Cody" message.
"Hehehe, because none of the others were as cute as mine," answered Sierra laughing.
"But you cannot do that, you have to use one of our aprons," replied Sylvia, trying to not laugh.
"Please don't be like that, is only an apron, and it's so cute, also I am pretty tall, I am sure the show aprons will be too short," Sierra stops cooking and looks with puppy eyes at Sylvia.
"If it's so important to you, keep wearing it," said Sylvia smiling.
"Thanks, Sylvia, I still don't know too much about you, but I promise to investigate all your background and make your entry on my blog," said Sierra with a big smile.
"Thanks, Sierra, but please don't do that," replied the host, fearing about her privacy.
Judge Table
Shawn was sitting, apparently calm, but was looking at both doors every now and then as if waiting from something. Sylvia was beginning to get nervous.
"Shawn, don't worry, nothing will happen tonight. Relax a little," said Sylvia looking at him with a tender smile.
"No, that's what they want you to think, the same with the electric car and the HAARP, but when you lower your hand, BAM! That's when they hit you," said Shawn, hitting his palm with his fist.
"Really, man-" Chef began but was interrupted by Sylvia.
"But Shawn, think about it, we have a full staff working in the studio, if something happens, they will be infected first, so you can relax for now," said Sylvia smiling.
Shawn began to rub his chin after a moment, then he made a sad smile.
"You are right, we are not in danger with all these people around, but I am shocked that you could be so cold-hearted, sacrificing others to save yourself," Shawn look at her with misty eyes, putting his hand on her shoulder.
Chef began to laugh as Sylvia became more nervous.
"No, Shawn, that wasn't-" but the host was interrupted by the conspiranoic.
"You don't have to explain yourself, before I met Jasmine, I only thought of my wellbeing, but trust me on this, there is no meaning on surviving alone," Shawn looked at her eyes with a kind gaze.
"Thanks, Shawn, I will think about it," Sylvia blushed from embarrassment and stop trying to tell him that all was a misunderstanding.
Courtney Table
"My Cake is already baking, but now there is an error in the recipe, it says 'make buttercream as required,' for every 250 grams of butter I have to put 450 of icing sugar, but I don't know how much I need," Courtney bit her lower lip.
"Well, it takes 10 minutes to make a batch of buttercream, I will make 2 batches, better more than less," Courtney shrugged and put the ingredients in the bowl and start mixing them, then she goes to the storage room and takes all the ingredients she needs to make the details.
"This is so unfair, the instructions on the recipe are incomplete, the quantities are ambiguous, and the fondant doesn't have instructions attached, or Sierra and Mike already know how to use this, or they want to watch us embarrass ourselves," Courtney was fuming while counting the items in her table.
"Courtney, what are you doing?" asked Sylvia because the A-type was counting and classifying the ingredients
"I am creating a to-do list of the elements and details I will need to create for the Psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook, and please don't interrupt me," reply Courtney while making an inventory of all the elements in the killer.
"I love that girl, but I am worried if she really has enough time to end her list and do the cake pop?" Asked Sylvia to the judges.
Both Chef and Shawn only shrugged.
Sierra Table
"The cake is in the oven, and the buttercream is being made on the stand mixer, now I need to begin doing the body of my zombie," said Sierra, who already went to the storage bringing the fondant and plastic chocolate.
"I am not worried, we still have time on the clock, and my opponents are Mike and Courtney, neither of them has any baking knowledge, some rumors said that Courtney tried to learn before World Tour, but I couldn't get a confirmation," she began to knead the plastic chocolate.
"And Mike neither he or his other personalities are cooks, Manitoba had some experience in the wilderness and making rations, but that's it, I don't know about Vito, but I don't think Mike will undress on a baking show," Sierra takes her wireframe and looks at the zombie cake pop.
"Look at this zombie thin arms and legs, they are just like Cody's limbs," Sierra then put her index finger on her cheek and make and impish smile, "wait a minute, I have an idea on how to warrant my victory," Sierra then began to make the leg of his zombie.
Mike Table
Mike makes a loud GASP and then look confused at his sides, cold sweat runs on his forehead as the familiar feeling fills his mind.
"No no no no no, not now, why, and who?" Mike look nervously at the clock at his table.
In a moment he grasps the situation, there were less than 20 minutes on the clock, his cake was in the oven, he had a bowl of buttercream, the stand mixer was not used, and instead, he used a hand mixer, and the wireframe had the legs of the giant spider formed with who knows what material.
"I am so screwed," said the 5 for 1 offer, he then takes a deep breath, and with his characteristical optimism, began to work.
"Well, the cake is still raw, the buttercream is ready and is a little tasteless, and the Spider still needs its eyes and its fangs, so let's do this," with a big smile, he began to knead the fondant.
Judge Table
Shawn is more relaxed talking with Chef and Sylvia, he still sometimes looks at the sides, but at least he is smiling.
"And tell us, Shawn, how is that you ended working in a bakery?" asked Sylvia with her quizzical smile.
"Well, it's a pretty boring story, I needed some money for the summer, and a friend of my father needed help at his bakery, so he put us on contact, I pass the interview and get hired," said Shawn.
"Wow, that isn't what I was expecting, I mean with your skills. I believe there was another reason," said Sylvia.
"Yep, it's even more boring than the story behind my hat," said Chef rolling his eyes.
"What's the story behind your hat?" asked Sylvia, intrigued.
"I needed a chef hat, and this was cheap, I know it's not my size, but I had to pay it myself because the show was already over budget, or at least that was what Chris said," Chef sigh as he tells the story.
"Well, at least my boss on the bakery wasn't like Chris, he was honest, hard worker, and I learn a lot from him, like how to decorate cakes, use mud and leaves as frosting for camouflage, those kinds of things," said Shawn nonchalantly.
"Your chief at the bakery teach you that?" said Sylvia incredulous.
"Yes, he was a scholar of the ancient art of bakery, he had some eccentrics theories, like the Canadian government hiding the evidence of bakers' involvement on the foundation of our country," said Shawn shrugging.
"Wow, just wow," said Sylvia with wide yes.
"Yep, my boss was a nice guy. But he was too obsessed with baking, it's sad seeing an intelligent and kind person ruin his life over an irrational obsession," said Shawn nodding solemnly.
Chef and Sylvia didn't say anything, only looking at each other eyes.
"Well, campers, there is only 5 minutes left, so hurry up," said Sylvia breaking the awkward silence.
Sierra Table – 5 minutes
"Well, the cake pop is already made, and I have covered in chocolate, so I need only to finish my details, and it will be over, Hehehe I am sure they will have a nice surprise," Sierra put her hand on his mouth to hide her smile.
She then starts to speak with her opponents.
"Mike, how is it going?" shouts Sierra with an impish smile.
"It could be better, and you?" said Mike working hard on his cake pop.
"I am fine, thanks, did I ever told you that I love your smile," said Sierra.
"Really? tha-thanks," Mike blushed and smile, stopping his work for a moment.
"Can you stop chitchatting? Some of us are trying to win a competition," exclaims Courtney in a loud voice, trying to focus on her cake pop.
"Sorry Courtney, hehe," laughs Sierra, then add in a lower voice, "I hate to play mind games with them, but all's fair in love and war," Sierra keep working in her model, almost finishing the details.
Mike Table – 5 minutes
"There is almost no time left, and I am still dipping in chocolate my cake pop, also I don't know what Chester did, it is brown cake and had a strange sweet smell," said Mike, still blushed after talking with Sierra.
"Also, I hope Zoey doesn't misunderstand what Sierra was saying, we are only friends. It must be the first person who compliments my smile," Mike made a goofy smile as he keeps modeling the head of his spider.
As the 5-in-1 offer keeps working, he had an idea, he looks at the clock and looks at the storage, concentrating on precisely what he needed. Just at that moment, he gasped and raise his head with sparkling eyes
"Svetlana win the gold," in a moment, Mike jump into the storage with grace and speed, take two containers and jump out of the room into his kitchen, gasping again.
Mike look at the clock, and then at his hands, in which he had small candies and marshmallows.
"Thanks, Svetlana," Mike began to work, he was out of time, and he needs to melt the marshmallows.
Courtney Table – 5 minutes
"This can't be happening, my cake stuck on the pan, I cannot hold the body of my killer on the wireframe, the fondant keeps sticking in my hands, and there are less than 5 minutes with at least 20 points left on my list!" Courtney clenched her teeth, then taking a deep breath.
"Come on Courtney, don't lose your head, make what you can in the time left, and don't worry, everything will be fine," Courtney recovers her focus and continues her work, just as the torso of her killer fall AGAIN!
Courtney's eye began to twitch, she bit her lower lip, and huff, this was getting absurd, she was despairing, but then she had an idea.
"Well, I may not win, but I will fight until the end," a proud and full of confidence smile appear on the LIT as she runs to the storage room to find the ingredients she needed.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, You're done," said Sylvia as the three campers began to cover their cake pops with their cloches.
Camper's choice first camper: Sierra scary Zombie cake pop.
Sylvia, Chef, and Shawn are already waiting in front of Sierra Kitchen, the uber-fan wave at them.
"O my gosh, this is so exciting," said Sierra with a big smile.
"That's true Sierra, we are all excited, that's the scary Zombie cake pop you had to reproduce, let's see what you got," said Sylvia in a melodic voice.
"Delight your eyes on this," said Sierra in a melodic voice, taking off the cloche.
Sylvia covers her mouth laughing, Chef facepalmed, and Shawn looks at it rubbing his chin.
Sierra's cake pop was pretty different from the original zombie. Both had green skin and slender limbs, but instead of the ragged suite the original had, Sierra's had a yellow shirt and blue pants.
But the biggest difference was the head, the original had a skull-like head with few teeth and bald, Sierra's cake pop had a high resemblance to Cody, from Total Drama Island, only with green skin, she even put it all its teeth (except by one) and brown hair.
"Hahaha, Sierra, your zombie, it's a completely different zombie from the one you had to make," said Sylvia trying to contain her laughter.
"Yes, I am very proud of my zombie Cody, at first, I didn't plan to do it like this, but their thin arms are exactly the same, so here it is, it's so handsome," said Sierra looking tenderly at her cake pop.
"You have a problem and will not overcome it if you don't look for help," said Chef, nodding.
"The zombie is not realist enough, yes it looks like a zombie, but its face it's too bland, and doesn't scare me. It doesn't have enough raauugghh," commented Shawn.
"Are you insulting my Zomcody?" said an angry Sierra.
"No, he just said it looks better alive," said Sylvia smiling, "now we need to taste it," added the host.
"WHAT?" asked Sierra blanching.
"Oh, this is interesting, It's the first time I will be the one biting the head of the zombie," said Shawn smiling.
"Nooo, you cannot eat Zomcody," said Sierra, putting a hand in front of the cake pop.
"Sierra, if we don't taste it, we cannot evaluate it," said Sylvia.
"Yes, crazy girl, it's a cake pop, so please stop making a fool of yourself and move," said Chef in a menacing tone.
"Sigh, you are right, I forgot it was a cake pop, sorry Zomcody, you were born to be eaten," Sierra looks away.
Sylvia tastes it, and after a moment, she said, "O my gosh Sierra," then start to laugh.
"This zombie, taste like blood, no sorry, it's more like salt," said Shawn after tasting the cake pop, putting his tongue out.
"That can't be," Sierra covers her mouth with her hands.
"That's true, it's salty" Sylvia cry and laugh as she tried to swallow the salty cake pop.
"Mmm, you don't put enough icing sugar and used salted butter, so it tastes salty," said Chef.
"Well, Sierra, we have other scares to visit this night, Bye!" said Sylvia.
"Yes, sorry about this, bye!" reply Sierra.
Sylvia began to walk like a zombie to the next kitchen, Shawn looked at her with contempt, as he and Chef only walked behind her.
Camper's choice second camper: Courtney Psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook cake pop.
The three judges walked in front of Courtney's kitchen, the L.I.T. was standing there with a guilty smile on her face.
"Courtney, you have to replicate this bloodthirsty Psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook, show us what you get."
"Delight your eyes on this," says Courtney in a nervous voice. Taking off the cloche
Sylvia laughs, Chef arc an eyebrow, and Shawn cover his mouth and chuckle.
Courtney's killer had the arms and the legs pretty well done, but his body was like a sack, pouring buttercream and cake from its side, just as if it was bleeding, it had the hook, but no chainsaw and its face was only a sphere of white fondant with two holes as its eyes.
"Haha, oh my god Courtney, where is the chainsaw? And the mask? Courtney, you make a psycho killer without a chainsaw and with a hook" Sylvia keeps laughing at a mortified Courtney.
"Also, you idiot put too much buttercream on the cake, and it doesn't get consistency, that's why it is falling apart," Chef said frowning, Courtney felt her blood boil at his words, but bit her tongue and remain silent.
"But his arms and legs are very well done, I would like to have him as my ally in the zombie apocalypse," said Shawn looking at the arms' details.
"Thanks, I am glad you like it," said Courtney smiling.
"Well, let's taste it," said Sylvia, the three judges bit the killer.
"Mmmh, pretty good, it's a little gooey, but I like the taste," said Sylvia smiling.
"What did you put in the body, rice treats?" asked Chef after bitting the body.
"Yes, as the cake pop didn't keep together, I cover it in the rice and cover all with fondant," said Courtney.
"That's a good idea, you really are the smartass I remembered," said Chief with a mocking smile.
"And you are the same horrible person as well," said Courtney with a forced smile.
"Mmh, It's the first time I am the one doing the biting, and I am ashamed to admit it, but I like it," said Shawn.
"I taste it before putting it, I was pretty confident in the flavor, I am happy you like it," said Courtney smiling, proud of making a tasty cake pop.
"Yes, it was pretty good, but we have another spooky treat to see, thanks!" said Sylvia
Sylvia began to walk like a zombie again, with Shawn chuckling behind her and Chef shaking his head.
Courtney put her hand on her chest and make a sigh of relief, she was so nervous because she didn't finish her list, but in the end, it worked.
Camper's choice third camper: Mike spider cake pop
Sylvia, Shawn, and Chef walk to the last kitchen, there Mike was waiting, smiling, and tapping his fingers together.
"Mike, we already survive two spooky treats, you had to make this dreadful spider cake pop, show us what you made," said Sylvia with her melodic voice.
"Delight your eyes at this," said Mike in an excited voice, taking off the cloche.
Sylvia covers her mouth and laughs again; Shawn cocked his head and Chef frown at Mike cake pop.
Mike spider was similar enough to the original, the legs were even more realistic, the body was well-formed, but the head had some candies as the multiple spider eyes, making it look a little cartoonish. But the most striking detail was the white spiderweb that was hanging from the spider figure to the table.
"Wow Mike, you spider is amazing, its face is so wild, what with those eyes?" said Sylvia smiling.
"They are candies. I didn't have enough time to make the eyes, so I put them in the fondant," said Mike rubbing his neck.
"And the detail of the web is amazing, how did you do that?" added Shawn examining the web.
"I melt some marshmallow, and it gives a great web-like effect," replied Mike touching the marshmallow thread and pulling it.
"Bleh, it looks not so bad, but what about the taste? after all, you dimwit used a hand mixer instead of the stand mixer," said Chef,
"Chefy, don't get ahead, I was about to say that," Sylvia winked and the three judges taste the cake pop.
Sylvia put her hand on her cheek, Shawn put his hand over his lips, and Chef's eyes went wide.
"You spike head, what the heck did you do? You didn't follow the damn recipe!" said Chef in a loud voice, his eyes bulging.
"Hehehe, it tastes that bad?" said Mike shrinking behind the table.
"No, just the opposite, it's delicious," said Sylvia flabbergasted.
"Yes, it's delicious, it has a touch of cinnamon, vanilla, and another ingredient, the flavor is soft, but mix perfectly with the buttercream and the chocolate," said Shawn licking his finger.
"It's whiskey, you put whiskey in the damn cake, that take guts because it can ruin the mix easily, either you are the luckiest sucker I ever know, or you knew bakery before coming to the show," said Chef, also surprised by the cake pop.
"Hehe, cannot be both?" said Mike giving a wide smile.
"Well, it had both the trick and the treat, thank you, Mike, it was delicious," said Sylvia.
The three judges went to deliberate before announcing the first-round winner.
Camper's choice: winner of the first round.
Sylvia, Chef, and Shawn are in front of the judge's table with Sierra, Mike, and Courtney waiting in across the room to hear the result of the judging.
"Well, this was a dreadful night, but we think all of our heroes did a good job, Chef could you announce the winner," Silvia faced toward Chef and winked.
"There was not much competition here,"

"Mike is the Winner."
"Yes," scream Mike, jumping and raising his arm. "I win."
"Hey, that's unfair," shout Courtney.
"Chefy! What was that? You have to explain how we judge it and create suspense before announcing it.
"Sorry but no sorry, spikey guy spider was well done and had the best flavor, the crazy fan's cake pop was salty, and her zombie looked like a nerd, and smartass put too much buttercream," said Chef folding his arms.
"But he didn't follow the recipe!" said Courtney pointing Mike.
"Yes, he took the risk and won, the show is about making the damn dessert that tastes good and looks good, even if you modify the damn recipe, try thinking out of the box," said Chef aloud.
"Didn't you penalize someone in another episode for doing exactly that?" asked Courtney in a loud voice.
"The difference is that then I didn't like it and, now I like it, after all, who is the damn judge?" said Chef grinning.
Courtney huff and fold her arms, not wanting to continue the argument.
"Sorry, Courtney, but don't worry, there is another round, but before that, Shawn, can you tell him what he won?"
"Of course, do you like Halloween? I hope so because we are giving you a complete set of Total Drama costumes, this collection of 50 costumes include some of the more memorable outfits of the seasons, Alien, French maid, sleeping fairy, pirate, policeman, bear, killer and more," said Shawn reading a card.
"wow, this is truly a lame prize," whispered Shawn to Sylvia.
"It's not so bad, and we are almost over budget," said Sylvia winking at the conspiranoic.
"Wow, thanks, I will love to use some of them," said Mike politely, but he doesn't seem too excited.
"Hehe, some of them could fetch a good price on the internet with Total Drama fans, if you want, we could talk after the show," said Sierra with an impish smile.
"And also, you have the honor to wear the symbol of your victory, that you are the most heroic hero, the Chef's chef hat," said Sylvia, giving Mike the horrible hat.
Mike saw it, the hole of the hat looked like Chef's head with a chef hat, so when you put it, it seems as if a disembodied Chef's head is bitting your head.
"Well, thanks," Mike shrug and put in his head the horrible hat, at that moment, he gasps.
"G'day, how are you goin' mate?" said 'Mike' in an Australian accent, he was now another of his personalities Manitoba Smith.
"Now let's go to, follow me to door number two, the next round will be more frightening than this one, but I am sure you heroes will be fine," said Sylvia, while walking to the next door.
"Wait beauty, I ain't doin' bickies or cakes, let me take this off," said Manitoba trying to take off the Chef's chef hat.
"No, Mike, is a symbol of your victory, you have to wear it during the second round, now follow me," said Sylvia in a melodic voice, the rest of the judges and campers, except Courtney following her.
"Darn it, I'm stuffed," said Manitoba with a worried expression.
"What are you babbling, you didn't eat anything," said Courtney, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't mind my beauty," said Manitoba sighing.
The two of them follow the group, if he can't take off the hat, round 2 will be a nightmare for Manitoba and Mike.
Who will win this scary episode? You can find the next week.
Being honest before writing this episode, I didn't like Sierra, but she is very fun to write, I try to make her a little different than the usual giving her more things in addition at her Cody obsession, I hope it was fine.
Also, Mike is a challenge, mainly because his personalities are pretty cool, but you have to make a lot of planning for the triggers.
As always, thanks for reading and I hope you like it.
