A rabble of soft, golden 'chicklets' are awoken one morning to a proclamation: they have ten days to prepare for their best friend Bertha Daye's party. It's time to get to work building a larger-than-life castle cake to house and feed the revelers. Made of chocolate from the chocolate mines, 'finer than fairy dust' flour from the hillsides, and fruit carried down twigs and stems in the forest, this will be the best cake of all time. Oodles of distinctive chicklets fill every page, scurrying, fluttering, napping, tumbling, helping, and getting up to no good.
