So, what are we playing today?

BEEP

WHOOSHING

Wo-ho-ho-ho!

So, now I have got a judge's wig,

a clown's top

and horse riding boots!

This can't be right!

BOING!

WHOOSHING

That's more like it. I've got on a white hat and an apron.

So, what are we playing today?

That's it. We're going to be bakers. Could be a tasty adventure!

-So, what do we need to know?

-BOING!

A baker works in a bakery

and uses fresh ingredients

to bake delicious cakes, biscuits,

scones, and bread in an oven.

The four important ingredients for most cakes are -

eggs, butter, sugar and flour.

A cake is cooked when it feels springy to touch

and the knife comes out clean.

But watch out! The cake might still be hot!

Wedding cakes often have a little model of the bride and groom on top.

So, that's what we need to remember. Do we need anything else?

TINKLING

Whoa! This is a funny looking thing. I wonder what we'll need this for.

Well, I guess we'll find out soon. We've got everything we need.

Let's go!

Ha-ha! Nice hat!

My hair is driving me crazy!

This tea cosy is all I could find to keep it out of my eyes.

-Nice hat too!

-Thanks. Guess what I'm playing today?

-A waiter.

-No!

-Think yummy thoughts.

-Yummy thoughts...

-You're going to work in a lollipop factory!

-No, I'm going to be a baker.

-Ah, that IS a yummy thought. Well, have fun.

-See you later!

-See you!

Let's play!

Come on, let's play bakers.

Whee!

-WHOOSHING

-Whoa!

Oh! We're in a garden. I thought we were playing bakers, not gardeners.

Whoa! Looks like there's something special going on here today.

Oh, these stones are a bit loose.

-Oh, careful, the stones are a bit loose!

-Whaaa!

SPLAT!

Agh...agh...agh!

SOBBING

-Are you OK?

-Yes!

But my wedding cake is ruined!

I was taking it to the house for the reception party afterwards!

-Agh...agh!

-Maybe I can help.

-Not unless you can do magic

and make a new cake!

Well, I can't do the magic bit but I can BAKE you another cake.

-I'm Sid. And I'm a baker.

-Really? And you make cakes?

-Well, yes.

-Wedding cakes?

-Erm, sure, why not?

-With three levels?

-Mm...yes!

-And loads of decorations?

-As many as you like!

Oh! My wedding day might not be ruined after all!

So, don't forget, three layers, loads of decorations.

Did I say, it must be ready by this afternoon? Thanks, Sid!

# Here Comes The Bride Here Comes The Bride... #

The cake's got to be ready by this afternoon?!

This doesn't leave me much time! I need to find a bakery to let me

use their kitchen, bake a cake,

then deliver it here this afternoon

before the party?! Where am I going to find a bakery?

Hello, have you seen my daughter, the bride?

-White dress, big cake...

-She went that way...

Was she all right? Everything must run like clockwork today.

The wedding, the dress, the party, of course the cake...

If anything went wrong, it'd be awful!

-Are you looking for something?

-Yes, a bakery, actually.

You won't find one here. Head to Baker Street.

There's a bakery there.

Lovely to meet you. Enjoy the wedding!

-I will - especially the cake. Cheery-bye!

-Bye!

Right, we better find a bakery and make that wedding cake

straight away. Let's go!

Aha! This looks like the place.

Breads, cakes, buns... perfect!

Oh, I'm so sorry, were closed. The baker had a disaster

when he was making a banana loaf.

-What happened?

-He slipped on a banana skin

and had to go to the doctor.

Oh! Who thought being a baker could be so dangerous?

Hi, I'm Molly, baker's assistant.

-Nice to meet you, I'm Sid. I'm a baker.

-Oh, are you?

That is such a coincidence! Because this is a bakery.

What are you after? Cakes, breads, buns?

No, I'm after a kitchen. I need to do some baking...

Oh, can I stop you right there, Sid? I've got an amazing idea.

You need to do some baking and we've got a kitchen right here.

Why don't YOU do your baking HERE?

-Great idea, Molly. I'd love to!

-You're welcome.

I could do with a bit of help. Could you help me?

I'd love to! I love baking!

Things are looking up. I've found a kitchen

and someone to help me! Let's go and bake a cake!

We've washed our hands. Let's get started.

-First, we need the ingredients.

-Sure thing. What is it you need?

I've got... Brussels sprouts,

tomato sauce and curry powder?

I don't think a curried tomato cake with sprouts

-is quite what the bride ordered!

-No...No problem.

Of course. So, what do you need?

I'm not sure. I can't remember the ingredients we need...

I can't get started unless we have them. What are we going to do?

Erm, what are they again? Erm...

Ooh! Hold on! I remember. Do you? Yes, that's it.

The four ingredients you need to make most cakes are -

eggs, butter, flour and sugar.

Have you got those ingredients?

I'll look in the pantry. You wait there.

-Sid?

-Yes, Molly?

-Do you want the good news or the bad news?

The bad news, please, Molly.

Well, we don't have any sugar...

eggs...

flour...

or butter!

You said there was good news. What's that?

We've got ribbon and icing, so decorating will be easy!

Great, but we need a cake to decorate first and...

Oh! Can I stop you right there? I've got an idea!

How about I go to the shop and buy everything we need?

-A brilliant idea, Molly!

-So, what do we need?

Porridge, potatoes and cherries?

How about I go to the shop and you stay

and get the things we need for decorating the cake?

That's a good job for you.

Oh, I love decorating cakes! Yippee!

Thanks, Molly. We better get started.

Let's get the things that we need.

We've got everything we need. Eggs, butter, sugar and flour.

If I can pay for these super-quick, we can get

back to the bakery and bake the cake in time for the wedding.

-Hello there. How are you today?

-Very well, thanks.

I'm in a hurry - I have to bake a cake

-for a wedding this afternoon.

-Oh, I was once a bridesmaid

at a wedding...

I wore a pink dress and carried flowers. Oh, it was lovely...

-Do you like weddings?

-Yes, yes, I do.

Anyway, I'm in a hurry, so if you could...

Oh, absolutely, don't want to be late for a wedding!

Now, eggs... They look all right to me. Can't be too careful with eggs.

-If they crack, they could be off.

-Aha, yes, thanks.

-If we could bring up the other things?

-Absolutely. That's my job!

Well, it's not my only job, actually.

-I'm actually...

-Very interesting. Butter next?

-Butter...

-BEEP

-Sugar...

-BEEP

-Flour...

-BEEP

This packet is similar to my Great Aunt Clarissa's

lounge room curtains... Or is it her bedroom curtains?

If you remember, I'm in a hurry...

Well, don't stand around here talking to me all day!

OK. Well, thank you! There you are. Phew!

We've got everything we need. Let's get back

to the bakery and start baking! Thanks, bye!

We've washed our hands - again -

and we're well on our way to baking a wedding cake.

-A bit more flour, please.

-No problem.

Oh! Yeah, I think there is a bit of a problem.

-That's a bit too much!

-Sorry!

That's OK. I think we've got enough mixture here.

Remember, the bride said she wanted three layers,

which means, we'll need three cake tins.

We'll start with the top layer first.

-OK, so, if we pour the mixture into the tin, please, Molly.

-No problem.

SQUELCHING

Lovely! Now, we have to be very careful because ovens are hot!

Oh, yes. Ovens are very hot. You've got to be very careful.

All we need to do is put the mixture in the other tins and then wait!

HE WHISTLES A TUNE

BUZZER

-Oh! I think they're ready! Lets see...

-I'll get the cooling rack.

Ah... Here is the top tier.

-Mmmm! What a yummy-licious smell! Is it ready?

-Yes. I think so.

It's hard to tell just by looking at it.

Erm, I can't see inside. Hmm, how can we tell?

No problem. Let's taste it.

I don't think the bride wants a cake with a bite mark!

There must be another way...

Hold on! I remember, do you? That's it!

A cake is cooked when it is springy to touch

and the knife comes out clean. Let's see...

Oh, yes. Nice and springy. That's a good sign.

Now, we have to be very careful because it's still hot.

In goes the knife... And... Yes! It's clean!

Which means they're ready.

Right, I'll go get the others and when they're cool,

we can decorate them.

The cakes are cool and ready to...

-Decorate! My favourite bit!

-Not quite, Molly.

I have to stack them first. OK...

Here goes...

-There!

-Erm, slight problem, Sid.

The cake. It's wonky!

Hmm? Oh, dear! Yes, you're right.

-How do I make sure that they are all level?

-Another very good question.

-Yes, but...

-Oh, erm, I think I have the answer!

We can use a spirit level. It works every time.

-We need a spirit level.

-A spirit level? What's that?

Well, it's kind of like a flat stick with a bubble in the middle.

Hold on! I know what we can use, do you?

I knew this would come in handy.

That's what I was talking about. You're a brilliant baker, Sid.

Right, let me re-stack the cakes...

And now, we can test it. Ta-dah!

Here goes...

-Perfect! It's all level!

-Thanks for your advice, Molly!

-Not a problem.

Now, we can...

Decorate! Whoo-hoo!

Oh! It's beautiful! Just like real wedding cake.

-It is a real wedding cake.

-Oh, yeah, of course! Absolutely.

If nothing else goes wrong, I should have enough time to get it

to the wedding. Can I take one of these ribbons in case one comes off?

Good idea! You'd better get moving.

-You can take the van.

-Right.

Oh, no! The van's not here! Maybe Molly knows where it is! Molly?

-Do you know where the van is?

-Oh, yes. I just remembered.

-The Baker drove it to the doctor.

-Maybe I can walk...

-I'll have to walk very quickly!

-Can I stop you are there?

-Not really, I'm in a hurry.

-No, look! There's a taxi coming!

-Oh, yes.

Well spotted. Clever Molly.

Maybe I won't be late after all. Taxi!

What a stroke of luck.

DOOR SLAMS

I should make it just in time!

-Oh, hello again!

-Oh, no... I mean, hello!

-Ah... Nice to see you again.

I told you I had another job, didn't I?

I'm a taxi driver, see? Now, where is it you'd like to go?

I'd like to go to the wedding at the big hall

as soon as possible. Step on it! I've always wanted to say that!

I'll get you there in a jiffy. Or two shakes of a lamb's tail.

-Which would you prefer?

-Whichever is the quickest.

-Hold on tight!

-ENGINE REVS

-Geronimo!

Oh, I used to live down this street. Now, which house was it?

I'll just slow down a bit and take a look...

Was it that one? Oh, no, Mrs Paterson used to live in that one.

She had a very licky dog...

Thanks for the taxi ride! Phew! Well, we made it. Finally.

I'm here now and so is the cake.

Yoo-hoo! Young man! Is that the cake?

You're late. I thought it was being delivered this morning.

-Never mind. It's very nice.

-Shall I take it in? Yes. Hurry up, please.

-Stop!

-That cake doesn't look right.

Really?

Yes. It's no good.

We can't have a cake with the most important thing missing!

This is dreadful! The whole wedding is a complete disaster!

I can't see anything missing... I don't understand.

I made sure I used all the right ingredients,

and that the cake was level.

What could possibly be missing? Oh! I remember. Do you?

Yes, that's it.

Wedding cakes sometimes have a little model of the bride and groom

on top! Where can I find one of those now?

Sid, Sid! Slight problem - you forgot something.

Look where it landed!

You've saved the day, Molly! Let's go

and show the bride her lovely wedding cake!

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

-There you are, Sid!

-Sounds like a great party!

-It is.

It wouldn't have been the same without your wedding cake.

-Thanks.

-Thank you for letting me bake your cake for your big day.

We did it! But we'd never have done it without remembering

everything we needed to know.

The four important ingredients for most cakes are -

eggs, butter, sugar and flour.

A cake is cooked when it feels springy to the touch...

And the knife comes out clean.

And wedding cakes often have a little model of

the bride and groom on top.

-Thanks for everything, Sid.

-No problem.

-But I think it's time we went home. Bye!

-Bye!

WHOOSHING

-Hey, Sid! How was your baking adventure?

-Tasty, Rebecca.

Very tasty. I made a wedding cake! What have you been doing?

Well, I decided to stop exercising because

-my hair kept getting in my eyes.

-That reminds me...

The ribbon we used to decorate the cake -

I thought you could use it to tie back your hair!

Sid, you are a genius!

-Well, we can do some more exercising later.

-Definitely.

Well, playing bakers was great fun. What do you like to play?

When I play waitress, I serve customers like this.

I pretend to climb a big mountain when I'm playing rock climbers.

Playing clowns is fun. I get to pull funny faces!

When I play rugby players, I run around like this!

-It's fun to play.

-Start playing today!

-See you soon!
