Let's talk about these ten men and women who were killing it behind the scenes.

  1. Roger Sherman

    Roger Sherman

    Sherman, a lawyer by trade, was the first mayor of New Haven, Connecticut, and also served on the Committee of Five, whom drafted the Declaration of Independence. His biggest contribution was devising the idea of the Great Compromise, or Connecticut Compromise, which established a proportionally represented House of Representatives and the Senate to represent the state (with few differences from the current system). Thomas Jefferson described him as "a man who never said a foolish thing in his life."

  12. The 11 Worst Cakes:

    At first glance I thought this was either a thong, a jockstrap, or a diagram of patriotic ovaries. Looking closer however, it is the number 4 with fireworks shooting out the top.

  14. This cake-maker gets points for technical ability, but loses them for creating something that belongs on Accidental Penis.

  16. I guess these people just got lazy. Or ran out of strawberries.

  18. The great strawberry shortage strikes again. Although, this cake didn't stand much of a chance with those blueberries that look like rabbit turds in the corner.
