I'm berry excited to get started.

Now that we've tackled Batter Basics

and Basics of Berry Flawless Baking,

I am certain you are prepared for today's class,

Creative Cupcaking.

Are you ready to cupcake?

Yeah! Let's do it!

Woo-hoo! It's on!

I've got our ingredients,

flour, sugar, baking powder, all this fresh strawberry jam...

So let the baking begin!

(Strawberry) Berry creative.

Orange is putting mint leaves and chocolate chips

in her batter for a mint-chip cupcake creation!

I'm putting real bits of strawberry in my cupcake

to make it extra moist and tasty.

How about you, Lemon?

I'm replacing some of the oil in mine with applesauce.

Adds flavor... mmm and apple fragrance!

[sniffing] Mmm...

Blueberry? How are you being cupcake-creative today?

I'm adding ground zucchini!

Well I read about it in a cupcaking blog! It's good!

It'll taste like nuts and cinnamon. I promise.

[loud chattering]

Hey, what's that?

[loud chattering]

I wonder what's going on.

I don't know.

[gasps] Hey, look!

What is it?

I have no idea!

[all chattering in amazement]

What is it?

Oh, it's just a little something I call...

The sparkle-straw- water-pine-berry!

(all) Wow!

I was tinkering with some pollen, you see,

and selecting seeds, and...

Oh I don't want to bore you, anyway, would you like a taste?

(all) YES!

Goodness. Well, all right then, everyone step up.

Here you go, here's a glass,

and one for you...

pass this one down won't you, carry on, yes,

there's another... enjoy...

Mmm! It's delicious!

It tastes like, kind of, oh, I don't know, maybe watermelon,

grape, no, oh...strawberry and, yes, pineapple!

I've never tasted anything like it!

Oh and it's a scent sensation!

I've got to fashion a fragrance after it for my salon!

Oh, Princess Berrykin! Please try some!

[burps] Ahem.

This sparkle-straw-water-pine-berry

is the finest achievement in berryculture

I have ever witnessed!

To mark this occasion, I hereby declare tomorrow

Berrykin Bloom Day, with a ceremony in his honor!

[all cheering]

Oh my! Why, thank you.

It's really hardly necessary.

It's the least we can do, Berrykin Bloom,

after all you do for us.

When plants get sick, you always make them better.

And where would we be without your berry bitty veggies?

It's all part of my job.

Oh well, it's a lovely gesture I suppose.

Meanwhile, if you'll excuse me,

I must tend to my bitty orchard.

Oh, he's so humble.

Which means it'll be all the more fun to surprise him

with something really nice on his special day.

Oooh! What a great idea.

What could we do that would be very special?

Well, I'll ask Plum to help me decorate the gazebo!

And I'll bet Cherry could handle the music.

Wow Raspberry, that's a great idea.

I love it!

But what about the rest of us?

We need to do something really special.

I know! Let's each make him a cupcake!

We can make them with flavors from all the fruits he grows.

Oh, that'll be fun!

That's perfect!

Great idea, Strawberry!

Let's get back to baking!

Berrykin Bloom supplies

all the berry bitty produce for my store.

So I wanna make him the most special cupcake ever.

Hmm, now how to make this cupcake special

for Berrykin Bloom?

Oh I know! I'll fill the cupcake with

a tablespoon of delicious strawberry jam!

Oh no, my jam... where'd it go?

[snoring]

Pupcake! [giggles]

Those were all the jars I had.

You're gonna have a tummy ache for sure.

And I'm gonna have to restock all the jam in my cafe.

Hello? Orange?

(Orange) Just a minute!

[crash]

[Orange coughs]

Oh...Orange? Are you all right back there?

(Orange) I'm fine... just making my cupcake!

Oh, okay. I need some strawberry jam.

Help yourself!

Thank you!

Anytime, Strawberry, and--

Oh my!

I was gonna put some in my cupcake,

but I was completely out. Back to the kitchen I go!

[barking]

It's me, Marmalade.

[sniffing]

[sneezes]

Oh! Bless you.

Hmm. With all that jam...

Strawberry must be making an enormous cupcake.

Well, I can match that!

[struggling]

[door chime jingles]

Hi Orange, do you mind if I borrow some...

...sprinkles?

Sure...help yourself. [struggling]

Gotta get back to my cupcake!

[crashing]

Are you okay?!

[coughing] I'm fine!

All that flour for one cupcake?

[sigh]

[munching]

I've got some major rethinking to do.

[grunting in distance]

Blueberry?

Whew!

Oh, hi Strawberry. What's new?

Um, not much I guess.

Except you're dragging around a giant banana.

It's for my cupcake.

Your cupcake?! Why don't you just use a bitty banana?

I mean, you can't fit all that banana into a little cupcake.

Who said anything about a "little" cupcake?

You mean...

Exactly how big is your cupcake going to be?

I don't know, but Orange is making a huge one.

She's using bags and bags of flour!

Oh, you must have just misunderstood.

Look at my cupcake, it's normal-sized.

I'm sure she's baking one just like it.

After all, how much cupcake can Berrykin Bloom eat?

(Orange) Hi guys!

How about the cupcake I made for Berrykin Bloom?

Bouncing boysenberries, Orange, that's berry gigantic!

I know. Isn't it great?

(Lemon) Great? That's the hugest cupcake I've ever seen!

Well don't you think Berrykin Bloom deserves

the most special cupcakes we can bake?

(Berrykin Bloom) Did someone mention my name?

Nyah!

Let's hide!

It's Berrykin Bloom!

Ah, there you are, Miss Strawberry.

Oh, yep, here we are! Doing nothing secret at all!

That's right.

Not at all.

We have nothing to hide.

Did you ladies need me for something?

I thought I heard my name.

Nope, not me.

Not at all.

Nuh-uh.

Must have been someone else. Have a lovely day!

Well then I suppose I'll be on my way too.

That is a very fine banana you have there, young lady.

A very fine banana indeed.

Uh...yes! Heh-heh...

Just, uh, taking it out for some exercise.

Come along, Waldo. Time to finish your walk.

I never thought of exercising the produce...or naming it.

Hmm. I suppose Waldo is a lovely name for a banana.

Goodbye!

So long!

See you around!

[all sigh]

That was too close. He almost found out our surprise!

We've gotta keep him away!

How are we gonna do that?

I don't know, keep him busy, I guess.

But we're all too busy to keep him busy.

We are... but I know someone who isn't.

Wait, you want me to what?

Just keep Berrykin Bloom busy.

We can't let him see us making cupcakes,

it'll spoil the surprise.

We need a diversion!

A diversion?

That's a fancy way of saying distraction

or keeping him busy...

But how am I supposed to do that?

I don't know, think of something!

You're both guys, why don't you do...guy things?

Guy things... I dunno. Like what?

You're the guy, figure it out!

(Berrykin Bloom) Hello there!

Here he comes now!

A very fine day to you, young ladies.

Why Mister Huckleberry, what brings you to town?

Uh...guy things! Like...uh...

running... and...SHOUTING!

AAAAAAAHHH!

What in the world? Oh my stars!

What an unexpected development!

Well that seemed kind of extreme.

I hope Berrykin Bloom will be okay.

Sure he will. He's a guy. They like that stuff.

What matters is that he's not around to see our cupcakes.

About those cupcakes--

Yes, about those cupcakes, Orange.

That one you made was huge.

That's right, and--

It wasn't that big. And I'm not gonna make

Berrykin Bloom just any old cupcake.

He deserves something special.

Yes, but what's important is--

What's important is that if you make a huge cupcake,

ours will seem kind of bitty in comparison.

Good point, but really--

All I know is that I'm not skimping on mine.

[sighs] Well, it's up to you what kind of cupcake

you wanna make, but just remember,

there are a lot of things that make a cupcake great.

Well then, I'm going to have to redo mine,

maybe I can team up with Plum...

Well, if Blueberry's making a bigger cupcake,

then mine will be bigger too!

...and the presentation...

Oh no!

I have a feeling this is going to be the berry biggest,

berry baddest bakeoff ever.

There. My friends might be baking colossal cupcakes,

but I'm sure Berrykin Bloom will be more than happy

with this one. Won't he?

[whining]

Oh! Maybe Orange is right. Berrykin Bloom is special,

so he deserves a really special cupcake.

But how can I make a more special cupcake

without getting carried away?

[curious whine]

Aww, you may not have all the answers,

but you sure are cute. [giggles]

Hey, that's it! I'll make a Pupcake cupcake!

[giggles]

It'll be the cutest cupcake you've ever seen.

Stay right there!

[curious whine]

Okay, now stay still.

[curious whine]

[meows]

[whines]

[whines]

[whines]

Tada!

[whining]

Oh you're right, Pupcake. It's not what I had hoped for.

But you didn't really help by moving around so much.

[sighs] Now what am I gonna do?

[meows]

Of course!

Oh, Custard! Please come back. It'll be fun

There. Now that's the perfect cupcake.

Just one last touch.

[grunts]

Whoa...

What do you think?

I had to change my recipe to make it this big,

but isn't it the most special cupcake you've ever seen?

All it needs is this cherry and...

[gasp]

[crash]

[spitting and coughing]

Oh, I must have added too much plaster.

Plaster?!

Well, I don't know how to make it delicious and bigger

and stronger all at once!

Hey! You guys are good with tools,

maybe you can help me!

Uh, I dunno... never baked anything before...

with plaster.

[clears throat]

I got four words for ya, Earlfrosting lickin'.

Count me in! Me too!

[crash]

[pumping air]

[hissing]

[screaming]

[humming]

Gorgeous!

NOOOO!

[Berrykin Bloom yelling] AAAHHH!

Ha-ha-ha-aaaaahhh!

So that activity is what you would refer to as...

zip...lining?

Wasn't it fun?

Well, I...

It's just one of the many activities in the...

uh...Gentlemen's... Diversion Club! Yeah!

Goodness, Mr. Huckleberry, this club seems quite

rough and tumble.

Only the roughest and tumblest for gentlemen like us!

Now, when was this... club established?

It's after me! AAAAAH!

It's very old and... established!

We better keep... diverting.

I know another...diversion, which I know you'll enjoy.

To the lake!

YEAH-HA!

Ah, the lake, what a wonderful suggestion.

I can't think of a more tranquil spot to sit back and marvel

at the glory of nature all around us.

Yet still, I can't help but wonder why my feet

are strapped to these boards.

I knew he'd love water-skiing!

Lookin' good, Berrykin Bloom!

[Berrykin Bloom screams]

Well you were, anyway.

Okay. Another diversion. Think.

I know!

Are you...certain that this is enjoyable?

As enjoyable as anything else I could all the sudden think of.

Have fun!

[screaming] AAAAHHH!

HEYAAAHHH!

YAOOOHHHH!

[Berrykin Bloom screaming]

[scared screaming]

Okay, now tackle me!

Tackle you?

I'm not even sure I'd know how to go about that.

Is this necessary for the Gentlemen's--

Diversion Club. Yes, berry necessary.

[growls]

Oh!

Aaahhh! Whoa, whoa!

[groans]

Oh, dear. I do hope that wasn't too extreme.

Are you all right?

I'm...fine.

Hiya, Cherry. Just an hour to go 'til the big ceremony.

All I need to do is put up a few more

streamers, balloons and more streamers and then...

What in the berry bitty world?

I thought you guys were just making regular old cupcakes!

But this!

A giant beehive!

A circus!

A VOLCANO!

Well, the lava is strawberry jam. And the rocks are sugar.

At least it should taste good.

How could you all get so carried away?

Well I tried making a Pupcake cupcake but that didn't work,

then I tried a Custard cupcake, and that didn't work either

so one thing led to another and...oh.

Perhaps I've lost my focus on what's important here...

(Orange) Ready to see the most special cupcake?

Bring it in, boys!

(Lemon) It's...huge!

(Blueberry) How did you even build it?

I had a little help from Ed and Earl.

Yup! And we used only the finest spare parts and lumber!

Plus yards of fencing wire!

I...wouldn't taste the cake part...

But the frosting's delicious!

And wait 'til you see this! Guys?

[gears clicking]

Well, what do you think?

Isn't this the best cupcake you've ever--

[hissing and creaking]

(Strawberry) What's wrong with it?

I don't know!

[hissing and creaking]

Earl how come there's a fork in the gearbox?

Uh...'cause I was all done eatin' frosting!

Look out! It's going out of control!

[crashing]

[bursting]

Oh no! My cupcake!

And that's not all. Look at this place!

Oh! My delightful decorations!

It's all ruined.

And Berrykin Bloom's ceremony is starting in less than an hour.

Well there's only one thing to do. Enough competition.

Let's work together to clean this mess up.

Yeah!

There we go, good as new!

So sad. [sniffing]

But at least I can still smell cupcakes!

(Berrykin Bloom) Cupcakes? Oh, dear. Never much cared for them.

I'm more of a fruit and veggie man myself.

Berrykin Bloom, Huckleberry?

Wh...what happened to you?

Well it's like this, you see, we were jumpin' in mud puddles,

and then we got lost all night and wandered into

a brambleberry thicket and--

[cheering in distance]

Oh! The ceremony's starting! You better get up there!

The Royal Rutabaga! I am deeply honored, Princess Berrykin.

And I am honored and full of gratitude to have this day

named after me and this park--

why, I've never seen this park so clean!

However, I must say, the last day has been most unusual.

Most unusual indeed!

I'm not certain why I was invited into

the Gentlemen's Diversion Club,

but...it has been the best hours of my life!

[giggles]

Aww... come here, you.

[giggles]

(all) Aww...

[all giggling]
