0:00:34 > 0:00:36Matilda, where's my frying pan, please?

0:00:36 > 0:00:39- But I've taken over the kitchen in THIS house.- What are you doing?

0:00:39 > 0:00:42- I'm looking for my frying pan. Tilly?- Tilly rules, OK?

0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Mwah!- Kiss me.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47HE LAUGHS

0:00:50 > 0:00:52We're back in the UK, in Cornwall,

0:00:52 > 0:00:56and the whole Ramsay bunch loves messing about at the seaside.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- No eating seaweed.- There's so many fantastic things to do here.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05I'm cooking like crazy. This is fun! And writing my summer food blog.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10And whether it rains or shines, everyone has a great time.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13But there are some days here that are really special.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's a big day today. It's Mum's birthday.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18She's still asleep upstairs.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20We've got to be quiet cos we're going to surprise her

0:01:20 > 0:01:23with a breakfast in bed treat. But the big question is...

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Holly, Jack and Megan are getting dressed,

0:01:32 > 0:01:35while I cook up one of Mum's favourite breakfasts.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39'Perfect fluffy pancakes for a birthday breakfast.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43- 'First, crack two eggs into 300ml of milk.'- Hey, Tills.- Ssh!

0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Jack don't wake up Mum.- Why not? - Cos it's a surprise breakfast.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51- What are you making, Tills? - Pancakes.- I LOVE pancakes.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54- With bacon, some fruit and maple syrup.- Bacon!

0:01:54 > 0:01:56I might ask you to make the bacon for me.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I don't like the fruit part but I like the bacon and the pancake bit.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03'Pour in melted butter and whisk. Then, in a separate bowl,

0:02:03 > 0:02:05'add flour, baking powder...'

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- And my sugar.- Morning, all.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Ssh, you're going to wake up Mum.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- 'With the gang all here, I'm putting them to work.'- What's in there?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- So, this is the dry mix. - Here you go.- Thanks, Meg.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18That's the dry mix and that's the wet mix

0:02:18 > 0:02:20and you gradually add that in.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22What does this have to look like when we're done?

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Silky with as little lumps as possible.- Shall I do all the bacon?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yes, please, Meg. Jack will probably eat it.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30'We're having fried bacon

0:02:30 > 0:02:33'and super-healthy blueberries with our pancakes.'

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Shall I get some tea ready? - Yes, please, Jack.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38- I'll have one, please. - 'Tea's Mum's morning favourite.'

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Who's ready to make some pancakes?

0:02:40 > 0:02:44These are like the American pancakes, the thick ones.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I need a spatula.- Anyone know where anything is in this house?

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Guys, stay quiet. Mum's trying to sleep.- Sorry.- Sorry, Mummy's girl.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Ooh, I'm not the Mummy's girl.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Usually, the first pancake is the one that goes wrong,

0:02:57 > 0:03:01- but this one's actually quite good. - Oh, check you!

0:03:04 > 0:03:08'The thing I love most about making pancakes is tossing them.'

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Can we have a competition, who can flip the most?

0:03:10 > 0:03:12'Unless you're an expert flipper,

0:03:12 > 0:03:17'make sure you have a grown-up around. Competition on.'

0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Yes, Holls!- Really, really high!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24'Whoa, Megan nailed it!

0:03:24 > 0:03:28'Now, I'm going to make Mum's pancake really fun.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31'First a couple of eyes and a mouth.'

0:03:31 > 0:03:35- We're making a smiley face. - Can the bacon be the hair?

0:03:37 > 0:03:40'Stick on the blueberry eyes with maple syrup.'

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- It's so cute.- Just take some pictures for the blog.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45That looks amazing.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47'Check out my funny faces, recipes

0:03:47 > 0:03:50'and blog on the CBBC website.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52'Ssh.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56'I think the cooking was pretty quiet.'

0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Ssh, tiptoe.- Tiptoe.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00'Time to sneak upstairs.'

0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Who's got elephant feet? - Ssh, tiptoe.- It's tipping.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11- ALL:- # Happy birthday to you

0:04:11 > 0:04:15# Happy birthday, dear Mummy... #

0:04:15 > 0:04:19- A smiley face! - # Happy birthday to you. #

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- How come you've got more than me? - That's for everyone.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Mum gets the special one. - It's Sunday morning, guys.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29It's my birthday!

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- We have pancakes with bacon, maple syrup and blueberries.- Nice.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37- And a cup of tea for Mummy. - Bacon with maple syrup.- Yes.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Can you move up a bit?- They're yummy! Can I get this every morning?

0:04:40 > 0:04:44- No.- Or at least tea in bed? - They're nice.- They're very nice.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46What about my birthday breakfast? Can I put an order in

0:04:46 > 0:04:48for a full English breakfast, please?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Why are we walking about your birthday when it's Mum's birthday?

0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Sorry.- It's so rude. Mum, is this a good way to start your birthday?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57This is the best way to start my birthday.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Now I've eaten all those pancakes, we'd better do a long bike ride.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Mum loves the great outdoors, fresh air and exercise,

0:05:07 > 0:05:09and with the whole family.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12So, we're hitting the country lanes, Rumpole included.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Are you OK, Rumpy?

0:05:14 > 0:05:17As it starts to rain, Mum and Dad head home

0:05:17 > 0:05:20but the intrepid Ramsay bunch are on a mission -

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Operation Birthday Present.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- OK, here we go.- We're making Mum the perfect seaside pressie.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29I think Mum will really like it cos we haven't done her

0:05:29 > 0:05:32something like this before and it's quite unique.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- It's from the heart, literally from the heart.- And it's homemade.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39It's going to be a framed photograph with a special message.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41First off, the guys are writing...

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- ..in the sand.- Check it out!

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- They're crazy, look. - Stop mucking about, team.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Concentrate on building Mum's message.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55The gang are taking care of the present

0:05:55 > 0:05:57and I'm in charge of the food.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Eating together is one of the things that makes the Ramsay bunch happy.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03The steak is good!

0:06:03 > 0:06:06'So after tea and pancakes in bed for breakfast,

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- 'I'm cooking a special birthday lunch.'- It's my birthday!

0:06:10 > 0:06:12'This is one of Mum's favourite dishes -

0:06:12 > 0:06:15'yummy chicken and prawn noodle salad.'

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Wow, that looks beautiful.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19And I'm making a birthday cake, of course,

0:06:19 > 0:06:22and mine's got a hidden surprise or two.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Operation Birthday Present, phase two.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, cool!

0:06:28 > 0:06:31The team have done a great job on the message.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33We've got three seconds.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36'There's no way we're letting the rainy weather dampen our spirits.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38'Selfie time!'

0:06:38 > 0:06:39THEY CHEER

0:06:39 > 0:06:42'I love cooking for big occasions.'

0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'm making a surprise birthday cake for Mum.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48The outside is super healthy and delicious

0:06:48 > 0:06:53but hidden inside is a secret stash of her favourite sweets.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56Jack!

0:06:56 > 0:07:00'I'm getting Jack to be my assistant because this is an important cake.'

0:07:00 > 0:07:03I'm going to start by creaming the butter and sugar together.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05- All in?- All in.- All in.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09'Whizz up the castor sugar and butter,

0:07:09 > 0:07:12'add six eggs and self-raising flour,

0:07:12 > 0:07:14'a dash of vanilla extract,

0:07:14 > 0:07:18'baking powder and lots of citrusy lime zest.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21'Next, the really surprising ingredient.'

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Could you start grating some courgette into that bowl?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27'Yeah, I'm making the cake with courgettes,

0:07:27 > 0:07:30'which might seem a bit weird because it's a vegetable,

0:07:30 > 0:07:32'but trust me, it's delicious.'

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- You're a perfectionist, aren't you, Tills?- Yeah.- Just like Dad.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37'My cooking's a bit better though!

0:07:37 > 0:07:40'Add the grated courgette and mix.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42'Done.'

0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Oh, smell that.- Mmm. - That piece there.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51- Every time!- Every single time, you fall for the same trick!

0:07:53 > 0:07:55I still haven't got you back, you know that.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59'This is going to be a high-rise super-special cake,

0:07:59 > 0:08:00'with four layers.'

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Yes!

0:08:03 > 0:08:05'Fill the cake tins.'

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- We're a good team, Jack.- Go, team!

0:08:08 > 0:08:11'And bake in a hot oven for 30 to 35 minutes.'

0:08:13 > 0:08:17All the Ramsays are into keeping fit, except Rumpole,

0:08:17 > 0:08:20who prefers eating fit. AS RUMPOLE: Where are my sausages?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Mum and Dad love extreme sports and walks by the sea

0:08:23 > 0:08:27and new boy Bruno can't wait to get some more beach action.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31- No, no, it's like a Baby-gro.- Happy birthday, Mum.- Let's go, Munchkin.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Have fun, Dad.- OK, see you later.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Ah, baby!- Say goodbye. Right, focus.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Love you. - I love you too. See you later.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Phew, Mum's out the way.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48'When the sponges are cooked, remove and cool.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50'Then start building the cake.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52'First, on a whole sponge,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55'spread on some yummy yoghurt and cream cheese icing.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57'Then, put two of the other sponges together.'

0:08:57 > 0:09:00This is where the surprise comes in.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02'And cut out a secret compartment in the middle of them

0:09:02 > 0:09:04'to hide the surprise.'

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Keep swirling that round.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09'Uh-oh, Mum and dad are back!'

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Um, not allowed.- Out!- Out!- No, no...

0:09:12 > 0:09:14'Phew, it's just Dad.'

0:09:14 > 0:09:15Let me show you something.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19'Great, I'm getting another assistant. This will be good.'

0:09:19 > 0:09:21If your filling's level, your cake will be level.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24You have to look at it like that and you can see, look.

0:09:24 > 0:09:29'Time for the second layer with the hole in, and the third.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33'Fill up the secret compartment with some surprise sweets.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37'Now seal it with the final sponge and get a dad to work.'

0:09:37 > 0:09:39So, where did you learn this, Dad?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- I first started decorating cakes in Paris.- Right.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45And it was just birthday cakes for the restaurant.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46'Starting to look impressive.'

0:09:46 > 0:09:49I have to admit, Dad, it is fun doing this all together.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51'The Ramsay team are coming up trumps.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54'Icing done, we're sending Dad off

0:09:54 > 0:09:57'to keep Mum out of the kitchen whilst we decorate.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02'We're doing a heart and a letter T because Mum's called Tana.'

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Do you know what's nice? It looks homemade, that's the thing.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Perfect. I'm going to get some pictures for my blog.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11'These are sometimes called pinata cakes

0:10:11 > 0:10:13'because of how the sweets fall out.'

0:10:13 > 0:10:17And then I'm going to put that in the fridge to let it set.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Jack heads off to get birthday candles and balloons.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Megan and Holly get crafty.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Holls, shall we get some, maybe, shells,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31and pretty things to put on the frame

0:10:31 > 0:10:32cos Mum loves that kind of stuff.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36They're going to frame the selfie, seaside style. Ramsay team, go!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38I think Mum's going to love that.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Shall we put the shells this way or that way?- Probably that way.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46- Oh, wow. Wow, it looks really cool. - It's such a funny photo.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51Mum loves exercising and being really fit and healthy.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52This year, she did a triathlon race

0:10:52 > 0:10:55where she had to swim 1.8km,

0:10:55 > 0:10:57cycle 90km

0:10:57 > 0:11:00and run 21km.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03It took her over six hours. That's a serious race!

0:11:03 > 0:11:05CHEERING

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Naturally, Mum's into really healthy food

0:11:07 > 0:11:10and this is one of her favourite dishes -

0:11:10 > 0:11:14noodle salad with chicken, prawns and a yummy dressing.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17She's going to love this for her birthday.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18First, the dressing.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23'Add sesame oil, rice vinegar...' This gives it a bit of sharpness.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27'..soy sauce then chilli sauce to make it spicy.'

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Mum doesn't like boring food.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33'Honey, grated fresh ginger and whisk.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Dressing done.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38'Add carrot shavings to cooked rice noodles.'

0:11:38 > 0:11:41The carrots give it a really nice flavour.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44'Then pop in your favourite chopped herbs and vegetables,

0:11:44 > 0:11:47'along with cooked chicken and prawns.'

0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's going to be a really bright and colourful salad.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54'To get it all yummy, pour in the delicious dressing.'

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Then mix the salad round.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Whoo. All the best bits hide at the bottom.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Now to add a bit of crunchiness on the top.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07'Sprinkle on chopped peanuts and sesame seeds.'

0:12:07 > 0:12:11Wow, that looks beautiful. Just going to take a selfie with it.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14SHUTTER CLICKS

0:12:16 > 0:12:20All the pieces are coming together for Mum's birthday lunch -

0:12:20 > 0:12:22decorations, present and food.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26My favourite things are always homemade.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Fingers crossed she's going to love them.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Ta-da!- ALL:- Yay!- Oh, wow!

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Who made this cake? Oh, yum.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37It's kind of a healthy cake but then it's not too healthy.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Bon appetit. - I'm starving.- Bon appetit, guys.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43It's colourful, it's crunchy. Delicious, Tills.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45My favourite's the prawns.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- # Happy birthday to you - Happy 40th birthday to Mummy

0:12:49 > 0:12:53- # Happy birthday, dear Mummy - Happy birthday, dear Grandma

0:12:53 > 0:12:56# Happy birthday to you. #

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Yay!

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Oh, wow!

0:13:00 > 0:13:03I love it!

0:13:03 > 0:13:05That's brilliant! Does that say, "I love you"?

0:13:05 > 0:13:09- It sure does.- That is such a cool Cornwall picture.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12- DAD:- It looks amazing. - Thank you so much.- Now, cake time.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Something crunchy.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21- Whose idea was that?- Tilly's idea. - It's like a Smartie avalanche.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Pinata!- Great idea, Tills.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- I love the lime zest. - Happy birthday, Mummy.- Thank you.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32I think we made Mum's birthday pretty special.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Later tonight, the oldies are going out by themselves

0:13:37 > 0:13:41and I bet they'll be all soppy and romantic. Urgh!

0:13:41 > 0:13:45So, before Dad gets ready, I'm grabbing him for our foodie chat.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48What a way of waking Mummy up - breakfast in bed.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50I loved that. She was very happy as well.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52The blueberries and the syrup - delicious.
