[hr]

A good chunk of the deployed muffin men had already been trampled, smashed, or devoured and it certainly showed in the amount of decimated candies inside the Bakery.  Mistress Confectionary pursed her lips together in annoyance at the turn of events.  The enemies defeating her minions were getting closer and closer, meaning her time crafting the perfect sweets to share with the world was soon coming to an end.

[indent][color=f49ac2]"Oh my cream puffs!  I guess they just couldn't wait for my confections to be sent over to them, once you get a taste you just can't stop.  Oh well, my masterpiece should be done pretty soon at this point.  I'll just have to entertain my guests before the main course is complete, thankfully I have plenty of appetizers to share already."[/color][/indent]
The monster quickly scooped up a ton of material from storage which was instantly absorbed into her own body.  She set a few of of muffins to complete the baking process while she headed outside to see who would show up.  Of course she didn't actually need to see them, her senses were connected through the muffin men as long as they were still functioning.  Something caught her eye as she looked up and noticed the monarchs hovering above, acting as beacons to locate her headquarters.

[indent][color=f49ac2]"I've heard butterflies can taste with their feet, but alas a mere insect could never fully appreciate the sensation of cotton candy melting on your tongue, or hot cocoa pouring down your throat.  All you could possibly achieve is a small taste of what could have been.  Time for you to leave the desert for those who can ENJOY IT!"[/color][/indent]
Lifting her hands up to the sky suddenly streams of frosting burst forth from her hair, creating a sticky net which wrapped itself around a majority of the monarchs in the area.  The net quickly hardened and soon a giant clump of monarchs came crashing down to the street below with a splat, struggle as they might the net just got stickier and stickier until the monarchs couldn't move at all.

[indent][color=f49ac2]"Alright my scrumptious morsals!  Everyone gets an upgrade!"[/color][/indent]
Suddenly the monster started to throw hard candies into the guts of the nearby muffin men and suddenly everyone was carrying a souffle that hadn't risen yet.

[indent][color=f49ac2]"Hehe, go ahead and give it to 'em, everyone loves a nice, BIG Souffle!"[/color][/indent]
One of the muffing men nearest to the shadow creatures threw the souffle at them.  They easily dodged and it fell to the ground, for a second nothing happened, but within a flash the souffle started to raise at and extraordinary rate, quickly enveloping the nearby creatures.  Instead of the shadows devouring the sweets as before, the sweets had started to devour the shadows, or at least the souffle bombs.  Once a souffle had reached the size of a small truck it would burst, revealing nothing inside except the shell of a souffle, with no trace of whatever had been enveloped by in.

[indent][color=f49ac2]"Nothing quite like a bit of explosive cooking!"[/color][/indent]
Mistress Confectionary [url=https://youtu.be/FW1QY76d-40]laughed[/url], the laugh of overconfident ladies with amazing vigor, so much so it somehow managed to echo down the streets.  It was truly terrifying to watch as small trickle of chocolate syrup started to eek out of the side of her mouth, like saliva from a salivating person thinking of their next bite.
