History Recap / LittlestPetShop2012S1E20BakersAndFakers

* JustForPun: The Biskit Twins become interested in binomials because they think the word "buy" is in its name. They then interpret the "historical" cake event as "hysterical." Also:
--> '''Buttercream''': Time to put the "pet" into this com-pet-ition!

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Roger shouts, "Blythe! What's cooking?" to Fisher as he enters the gymnasium. Fisher looks visibly annoyed.

* UncannyValley: Intentionally invoked with the Biskit Twins' cake, even in the art style of the show.

* AbsenteeActor: Pepper and Penny do not appear in this episode whatsoever, meaning Tabitha St. Germain and Jocelyne Loewen sat this one out.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Due to the human characters' huge heads, the Biskit Twins' cake's heads fall off, and red borscht berry gushes out from their necks, looking amazingly like a decapitation. Everyone reacts to it like a decapitation, too.

* [[HighPressureBlood High Pressure Borscht]]: The Biskit Twins' cake's necks spew out red filling like it was a ''MortalKombat'' game.

* GenreSavvy: Blythe sees the eggs and cinnamon dropping from the ceiling and correctly deduces that the pets are here.

After all the cakes have finished, Mrs. Amster and Mr. Barish start judging on appearance and taste. The Taj Mahal cake outdoes the goths' Eiffel Tower cake and the jocks' Alamo cake by a landslide. The teachers then turn to the Biskit Twins, who have made a freaky-looking cake sculpture of themselves. The heads on the cake soon fall off, spraying red borscht berry everywhere like blood and inducing screams and panic on everyone who watches. The teachers declare Team Youngmee the winners, Fisher gets his daughters home glad that they tried, and everyone calls it day--except for Vinnie, who sees the cake as one of the villainous pastries he feared about. He smashes the Whittany head and brings the Brittany head back to The Littlest Pet Shop as a victory trophy as Blythe hands Russell, Buttercream, and Zoe slices of their cake as a reward for their help.

* LikeIsLikeAComma: The Biskit Twins can't help themselves, even when in disguise.

!! This episode contains examples of:

** Buttercream calls Vinnie as "Vinnie Vici Vinnie" at one point, referring to Julius Caesar's famous phrase, "Veni vidi vici" (also known as "I came, I saw, I conquered").

Four teams have entered: Blythe's team, the Biskit Twins, a trio of jocks, and a trio of goths. Each member of Blythe's team came thinking someone else had the recipe card and cake design, but they soon realize it's gone. Blythe attempts to get extra time to find their missing information, but Mr. Barish begins the competition right away. Buttercream shows Russell and Zoe that the Biskit Twins stole the cards, and they sneak over to try to get them back. Buttercream, filled with rage, leaps onto the stage and sneaks her way to the Biskit Twins' table. Knowing Buttercream is in danger, Russell, Vinnie, and Zoe get onto the rafters and drop eggs and cinnamon onto Whittany's head until Mr. Barish climbs up there to invesigate. The pets swing back down onto the ground but have bought Buttercream enough time to spot the recipe card and cake design. She brings the cake design back to Blythe but unknowingly drops the recipe card, which stuck itself to one of the jocks' shoes. Youngmee tries to recall as much of the recipe as she can from memory, and they proceed.

* UsefulNotes/SevenWondersOfTheWorld: Subverted. The Taj Mahal is not one of them.
* WalkThisWay: Buttercream's bouncing seems occasionally contagious among the pets. It may be a Butterscotch rule.

At the Biskits' mansion, the twins' scheme turns out to simply be to make their butler bake the cake for them. Their father Fisher catches them trying this and forces them to do it on their own, then leaves with their butler. The Biskit Twins acknowledge that they can't make a decent cake, but Whittany decides to sabotage Blythe's team so they win by default. They follow her to Sweet Delights under the guide of reporters. Blythe and the others see through it right away, but the Biskit Twins manage to steal their recipe and cake design anyway. Buttercream witnesses it and tries to tell Blythe, but Blythe is too preoccupied with her duties to notice Buttercream.

Mrs. Amster, a home economics teacher, and Mr. Barish, a history teacher, interrupt Mrs. Mondt's class to announce The Ultimate Outrageous Cake Competition, where students enter history-themed cakes. Reception is lukewarm until Mr. Barish mentions that the winner will receive extra credit in both of their classes by half a grade, catching the attention of the Biskit Twins. After class ends, Blythe chooses to also enter when Youngmee lends her support, as she helps out at a sweets shop. The Biskit Twins overhear this and discusses among themselves if they should enter. Brittany suggests entering to see Blythe lose, and Whittany obliges, having thought up a nasty scheme.

** The Biskit Twins once again [[Recap/LittlestPetShop2012S1E2BlythesBigAdventurePart2 attempt to sabotage Blythe, whom they see as tough competition]]. They seem to have become slightly better at disguising themselves too, but just slightly. From the same episode, we also had Russell's previous time climbing onto a stage's rafters to disrupt the Biskit Twins.

* ShownTheirWork: Sue's statement about Gertrude Ederle as the first woman to swim the English Channel in 1926 is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Ederle is correct]]. In contrast, the Taj Mahal is ''not'' one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but this was most likely intentionally written. It is, however, one of the landmarks chosen in 2007 for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New7Wonders_of_the_World New 7 Wonders of the World]], which makes Blythe and Youngmee technically correct.
