Plot[]
Butterbean and Cricket flew to the entrance of their café where the latter expressed her hunger and the former told her what Poppy has in store by way of something tasty. Cricket thought of three options – including eggs – before letting out a giggle and entering with her big sister. The both greeted Dazzle with Butterbean going to put on her worksuit and Cricket greeting Jasper as he entered the main area. Dazzle wanted him for more oranges and halted him eating the last one; he went to fetch them. Cricket was disappointed there were no muffins left but Dazzle shun that thought off by replying that Poppy was making fresh ones – much to her relief. She entered the kitchen to see Poppy finish a tray-of-parfaits order – which she'll reveal is for the Canooble family – which Cricket was itching to taste. Cricket asked her for a muffin instead and she agreed, saying they're right behind her. As Cricket took a bite of one of them, she felt Poppy was lucky to try some of the food she made, but Poppy told her in reply it was the exact opposite, as she rather tastes them in the preparation process before being served to customers. When Cricket asked her what recipe she never got to try, Poppy brought up her favorite surprise cake recipe and described how it looked like. But when it came to eating it, she gave it away as it wasn't for her. Cricket suddenly got the idea as soon as she stepped out of the café to make that for her as a surprise, which she shared with her big sister who agreed to help. When it came to shoving her out of the café, which both sisters had no clue of, Butterbean asked Dazzle and had her trivia solved. Butterbean repeated the previous sentence in her own thoughts and words to the viewer(s).

She asked her to go fetch walnuts in an anonymous market and she wanted to pass it on to Jasper, but Dazzle insisted that she went herself. She wanted to clarify something for herself but Dazzle rushed her out of the café door and zipped down its curtain, making her leave. Butterbean commended Dazzle for her effort and her little sister came out with her cookbook to spell out the recipe. She couldn't see any picture of the cake and wondered what it would look like when they've finished it, a concerned shared with the viewer(s) by her big sister.
