Halloween Baking Championship (SE8:EP2)

In a daring publicity stunt for his notorious hotel, John Henson announces a new pet-friendly policy with a celebrity appearance from Dreamworks’ Puss n’ Boots. In a challenge that makes as much sense as the cross-promotion, our beleaguered bakers must turn their Choux into shoes and try not to die doing it. Next, they must make that most famous cake none of us have ever heard of, the "soccer tour"*!  These chocolate cakes surprisingly featured zero yellow cards or athletic legs but DID include some beautiful mirror glazes.  

The episode culminated in a sudden-death bake off featuring two bakers we're not ready say good-bye to and the baked good every baker inexplicably hates: the cupcake.  OH THE HORROR!!!
