Question Forget the BFG, All you need is a bigger cake

Herein I make the case for a devisor who specializes in weaponizeing baked goods.

Well, the idea of weaponized baked goods isn't exactly new. There's dwarf battle bread in the Discworld, for instance. And the old joke of smuggling dynamite into the prison (for breakout purposes, of course) camouflaged as the candle on a birthday cake.

And, of course, this:

Oh, I know, but my point was we need a side character in the Next Generation, a devisor who makes baked goods so delicious that his/her foes eat themselves into repletion and lose all inclinations to do anything but sleep it off.

In hostage situations the bad guys would demand a plane and a million dollars, or a dozen donuts made by this character. ^_^

Sleep Donuts the bane to every police force....

Beautiful concept!

Could you combine it with a rail-gun that you have to feed raw cake mix, so that it cooks as it fires?

Hmm, would the icing count as a Sabot? Also what about Fruitcake, would that count as a WMD?

That's EASY use it as bait for an elaborate series of puzzles and traps, involving a neat gun that shoots "holes", acid, neuro-toxin, stationary white robots with a single red eye (with a laser pointer) guns and conversational abilities, cubes, buttons, smashy spike plates, high intensity lasers, energy bridges, and so on.... All in the name of Delicious and Moist Cake.

Or you could utilize the base elements in the cake to make an explosive....


Or you could hide a mine in the cake, once the cake can no longer hold down the trigger mechanism.... BOOM.

I can think of a couple Special Topics that would go with Weaponizing Cake/Baked goods/ingredients for baked goods.

Special Topics: Kitchen Chemistry (Basically IED creation and diffusing, Devisors and Gadgetteers take it up a notch and see this class as "How to save money on explosives")

Special Topics: Improvised weaponry and holdouts.

Even those who go the hero route may need to improvise explosives- breaching charges, strategic demolition, budget cuts... Civilians might need a flashbang against H1ers

It's also amazing that no devisor has yet come up witha version of "Umpty Candy", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_technology_in_Judge_Dredd#Umpty_Candy
