"[color=7bcdc8]Such destructive creatures aren't they.  Tell you what, patch me through to your creators and I won't completely decimate you, and might even try your disgusting confections[/color]."

The Duchess was about to retort, especially against the disgusting part, when another person appeared nearby and proceeded to douse the entire area with water.  The water splashed over a few muffin men and the duchess which really put a downer on things and made her dress all soggy.  One of her eyes twitched in annoyance at the annoying splashing.

"I'd listen to my friend, shortcake, unless you want to end up like the gingerbread man. Your stuff's actually not half bad, you'd make a killer confectionary if you'd just chill out."

[indent][color=f49ac2]"Humph, at least you have the faintest inkling about the greatest of my creations, unlike bug boy, even if you do know how to ruin a good cake.  Ugh, I'll never be able to wring all this water out!  That being said I don't need to."[/color][/indent]
At her proclamation her internal temperature suddenly rose violently as she essentially 'baked' herself.  Steam rose from her dress as the water was removed through heat and her frosting like hair boiled like mad.  Once she felt dry enough her temperature settled back down and she looked back at the partially destroyed Bakery, noticing that all the captives had been evacuated by a rather large insectoid creature.

[indent][color=f49ac2]"I see you seem intent on rescuing those who would undoubtedly be much happier in my hands.  How could you try and deny them of the ultimate pleasure of life?  Sweet delectables to stimulate the tongue to the greatest heights imaginable!  Well you'll have another chance soon, as my greatest masterpiece to date is ready for its first reveal.  Behold the Cake of Delights!"[/color][/indent]
Spreading her arms out in triumph she watched with glee as the largest cake imaginable suddenly exploded out of the roof of the SeaShell Bakery, pretty much flattening what was left of the place.  The cake was gigantic, reaching over three stories tall and tiered much like a fancy wedding cake.  The cake was armed to the nines with candy weaponry, candy cane ballista, bubbling hot chocolate sauce cannons, lollipop javelins, and frosting men manning the various stations.  The frosting men, unlike the muffin men from before, where not separate entities but rather just extensions of the cake, which like the muffin men were connected to Duchess Confectionary.

As the cake started to roll out in the street the Duchess turned back to the party poopers at her doorstep.

[indent][color=f49ac2]"Oh such a wonderful thing is it not?  You can continue to resist and miss out on partaking of my wonderful confections, or you can willing choose to become one with the cake and live in perpetual candy land!  I can assure you the taste is to die for!  Unfortunately I can sense that you will resist to the end, such a pity."[/color][/indent]
The Duchess drove a hand into her own chest and dug out from it a long, very long nerd candy rope.  Once it was all out it was over two meters long.  She gave it a quick flick of the wrist and the rope became a whip in her hands, when it cracked on the ground, dozens of large nerds scattered in all directions like little missiles, though any that reach the Duchess were quickly absorbed back into her flesh and clothing.  The rest of the nerds from the crack of the whip were like little stones from a sling, or like the shrapnel from a grenade.

[indent][color=f49ac2]"OhOHOHO!  Welcome to my banquet everyone!  Don't worry, I'll let you live if you'll let me!  After all, I want people to enjoy my deserts as much as I do!"[/color][/indent]
With a maniacal grin, she commanded the Cake of delights to go forward into the street and suddenly a sort of candy paste spread over her entire body, which hardened into some kind of hard candy plate armor of different varieties, giving the armor a smudged rainbow like appearance.  She stepped forward toward Yuri and Luna with the cake rolling in behind her.  While she should have been more annoyed with Luna for dousing her in water, she was more furious at Yuri for calling her creations 'DISGUSTING'.

She flicked the nerd rope whip with blinding speed at the monarch user, hoping to catch him in her clutches, but if not the exploding nerds would still be getting work done.  Meanwhile the moving cake made sure to go around the Duchess so as not to get in her way while the frosting men manned their stations and started to rain down destructive candy on Luna and anyone else nearby.  Candy cane ballista bolts, streams of hot chocolate cannons searing enough to leave 3rd degree burns and lollipop shurikens rained down from the ridiculously large cake and its frosting men.  Essentially it was like a mountain of heart-stopping sugar had descended on the city.

Thankfully at this point, despite the upgrades, the numbers of the muffin men were dwindling at a very great rate.  Any remains of the muffin men were quickly absorbed by the cake as it moved over the battlefield like an unstoppable colossus.
