Hello, everyone.

Score will be kept.

the winner will

I want that album.

Today's challenge is
a solo expedition.

A riddle.

would be super helpful?

James.

Mm.

Okay, we gotta go

classic vanilla with
chocolate buttercream.

You don't go for the slice
of cake that you want.

You go for the slice of cake
that the most people will have

and something that'll
keep well in the fridge.

Because, let's face it, the
whole cake never gets eaten.

A classic vanilla with
chocolate buttercream

stays well as it gets
older and, to fancy it up,

we can add a little
salted caramel drizzle.

Come on, ladies.

Mm.

It just dances
around on my palate.

James said we can decide.

Max, tell Vickie what
