Semper Fi Sweets
Ashley Vicos and her team travel to New York City when she's drafted to create a cake celebrating the Marine Corps' 235th birthday! Swept up in a patriotic fervor she designs a confectionary tour de force - towering seven feet tall, it's a massive bulldog cake holding a stack of even more military-themed cakes. Making this edible monument to the Marines will be a huge endeavor, so when Dennis tells Ashley about a second cake he's booked for a toddler's birthday party it's "all hands on deck." The kitchen becomes a battlefield as Ashley and Mary fight over fondant, Erin goes MIA at a cake supply warehouse and Dennis sweats bullets over it all getting done in time. Will this be Ashley's greatest victory or her very own Waterloo?

Ashley Vicos' idea for a seven foot tall, working Ferris wheel that will carry cakes in a circle has Rebecca spinning with delight. However this ambitious plan is making Mary, Erin and Dennis a little motion sick. With just three days to complete the detailed replicas of Rebecca's handbags and shoes out of cake as well as making a sexy mini-Minkoff sugar figure, everything needs to go like clockwork. So when a test-run of the Ferris wheel reveals major technical difficulties, it's time to hit the panic button. With the party about to begin and Ashley only moments away from a meltdown, can the team summon up the creativity to save the cake or will it wind up on the worst dressed list?

But making this cake is anything but a slam-dunk. Intern Erin, eager to contribute, gets flustered melting chocolate and meets her match when Ashley hands her a saw. Bewildered by the power tool, Erin states she wants to be a cake decorator, not do construction. Dennis tries to pitch in when he poses as a model for Ashley's sugar figures, but his physique leaves the team gagging. Ashley and Mary butt heads when Mary falls behind in her sugar work.
