Summary
Today is Daniel Tiger’s birthday! Daniel is very excited to go to Baker Aker’s bakery to help his Mom pick out a cake for his party, and so proud that his mom lets him carry the cake himself. But when they arrive back home after a bumpy ride on Trolley, he discovers that his birthday cake is smooshed! What a disappointment. His father helps him see that there are good things even in a smooshed cake – it’s yummy.
Plot
Daniel welcomes his neighbor into his house, telling them that today is his birthday. Daniel is in the living room, when Mom tell him that it's now time to go to the bakery to pick out his cake. Together, they head out to catch Trolley, to go to Baker Aker's bakery.
Daniel asks his Mom if he carry his birthday cake all by himself. Mom replies saying that he is bigger now, but a cake can be heavy. However, Daniel shows Mom that he's big and strong.
During their trip, they stop at the Treehouse and ask Katerina and O if they want to come with them. Both of them agree, and they climb aboard Trolley.
Finally, they arrive at the bakery. Inside the bakery, they are amazed by the goodies around them. This inspires Daniel to make-believe with his neighbor that they can sing and dance.
