Quinton, it's you!
Mom, Quinton's here!
Hey!
Great to see you, little man.
Great to see... Wait a second.
Did you say great to see you?
Sure did.
See you!
Like the letter C?
Yep.
Our alphabet adventure is going to be about the letter C?
Yes!
You guessed it.
You like the letter C, huh?
You bet!
C is the first letter in all of my favorite foods.
Like cookies and cake and candy.
How about carrots?
Actually, I like carrots a lot too.
My mom always puts them in my lunch.
Oh, speaking of, let's check with your mom before we go.
Miss Bet?
Okay, if I take Alfie out for the day, we're going to see where the sidewalk takes us.
Sounds good, Quinn.
Catch you later, guys.
So Quinton, where's the sidewalk going to take us to find out about sea?
Well, the letter C makes the sound cuh, like in cuh.
Can you think of any places that start with that sound?
Hmm, a cuh, R was?
Car does start with the letter C. What about a construction site?
Or a candy store?
Could be, but enough guessing.
Cuh, cuh come with me and we'll find out.
A-I-B-B
I don't get it.
The sidewalk just brought us to a bakery.
What does this place have to do with sea?
Well, look at the sign on the door.
Caroline's colorful cupcakes.
Caroline's colorful cupcakes?
Sounds like cup.
Yep.
Caroline colorful, and cupcakes all start with the letter C, So this cupcake shop is where we're going today.
Sure is.
Come on and set.
Hmm.
Where is everyone?
Well, Caroline, who owns the shop, is a friend of mine.
She's busy today, so I told her we would take care of her place while she's out.
We're gonna run the cupcake shop today?
Sure are.
Caroline's got a very important customer coming in.
She told me to make sure he gets whatever he wants.
This is going to be fun.
I think so too.
And Caroline left us two aprons right here.
Let's put them on and get cooking, huh?
Hey, Alfie.
Do you see what I see?
Here comes our first customer.
Hey, I... Oh!
Hey!
It's you!
Quentin and Alfie!
It's Mr. Prassel!
I didn't know you two were bakers.
Caroline's a friend.
We're helping her out today.
Terrific!
I need to deliver a birthday cake for a little girl.
Her party's about to start.
A birthday cake?
Yummy!
Caroline called to tell me it's all ready to get picked up, but, uh... where is she?
She's not here today.
Uh-oh.
It's okay.
Just tell us the birthday girl's name and we'll find the cake.
Uh, that's the problem.
I don't remember the little girl's name exactly.
Uh-oh.
How will we know for giving you the right cake, Mr. Parcel?
I do remember that the little girl's name starts with the letter C.
There are a lot of cakes back here.
Hey!
Maybe we could read the names on the cakes and we'll see which name starts with C.
Great thinking, Alfie.
Okay, the first one says P-A-N, Pam.
Nope, that's not it.
Pam starts with the letter P. Let's see this one.
This one says Guillermo.
Hmm, that starts with G, right?
Yep.
Oh!
I think this one starts to see!
Look, Vincent!
It says Happy Birthday, Casey!
Oh, that's it!
That's it!
The cake I have to deliver is the cake for Casey!
Ha ha!
You got it!
Well, then let's just get this back in the box for you.
Here you go!
What a colorful cake!
Casey's going to be so happy!
Please tell Casey he said Happy Birthday!
I will!
Thanks so much, you two!
Bye now!
Nice job, Alfie.
Mr Parson sure is funny, but I don't think he was the really important customer Caroline was talking about.
Yeah, I bet not.
She said the customer's name was... Hello, cupcake creators!
Please to meet you, I am Kent.
Kent, he's the customer Caroline told me about.
I would like to order some cupcakes.
Welcome, Kent.
There's a big case of cupcakes right over here.
We have a lot of different flavors.
Vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, peanut butter.
Oh, no, no, no.
I do not just want the usual kind of cupcakes that just anybody could buy.
I want you to create cupcakes just for me.
Can't.
Sure.
We could do that.
Of course you can.
For can't, you can.
What kind of cupcakes would you like?
Let me see.
I like carrot cake.
I'll have 12 carrot cake cupcakes.
Okay.
12 carrot cake cupcakes.
We'll get started on those right away.
I am not finished.
I want toppings on my cupcakes, of course.
We can do that.
Right, Quinton?
Sure.
What toppings do you want?
Cats and cars.
I want cats and cars on my carrot cake cupcakes.
Cats and cars on cupcakes?
Uh, Ken, um...
I don't think cats and cars are cupcake toppings.
Of course they aren't.
Not on ordinary cupcakes, but cupcakes for canter not just any cupcakes.
I insist on cats and cars on my cupcakes.
But we don't.
I'll be back to pick up my cupcakes in one hour.
Can't wait!
See you soon, cupcake creators!
Oh, these carrot cake cupcakes with cats and cars on top are going to be so creamy, crunchy and chewy.
I can't wait!
Cats and cars?
On cupcakes?
I don't understand.
To be honest, I don't either.
Man, I don't want to let Caroline down.
You made the sound that the letter C makes.
Man, I wasn't even trying to do that.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Can I help?
I don't know.
We're covering for Caroline and we just got a cupcake order that's, well, it's impossible.
We have to make carrot cake cupcakes with cats and cars on top of them.
That's the problem?
Did you hear the last part about the cats and the cars on top of the cupcakes?
But that's the best part of all.
We can't put those things on cupcakes.
Sure you can.
We can?
Of course you can.
You just need to believe that you can.
In fact, I even have a song about it.
What do you sing your song for a Christmas mixie?
Of course.
And I have a part just for you, Alfie.
It goes like this.
Now you try it.
That sounds great.
Now let's get cooking.
I have a can-do attitude.
It lets me do cool things.
Close with a can-do attitude.
I can do anything.
I can do a cartwheel.
Can you make animal noises?
Can you do?
I can tell her cute Scott or play a game of catch.
I can plow Wow!
That was a really cool song, Mixie.
Uh, thanks, Quentin.
Yeah.
And while we were singing, I got a cool idea about the cupcakes.
What is it, Alfie?
What if we make cookies shaped like cats and candies shaped like cars?
And we could put those cat cookies and candy cars on top of the carrot cake cupcakes.
What a cool idea.
You're a genius, Alfie.
Let's get cooking.
Now that's what I call a cook-a-cook-a-can-do attitude.
I have to get going, but I'll be seeing you too.
Thanks, Miss Mixey.
See you later.
Alright, Alfie.
Let's bake some cupcakes.
Alright, now we've got the cupcakes baked and frosted.
Now it's time to add the topics.
But we only have five minutes before Kent gets back.
Hey, Quentin.
Is it just me?
Or do you hit that clock?
It sounds like it's making sea sound.
Listen.
Cuh.
Cuh.
Oh, I hear it all right.
It's reminding me that Kent will be back really soon.
All right.
I'll add the cat cookies you put on the candy cars.
That will go faster.
Great.
Cat cookie.
Candy car.

Only two minutes left.
We better hurry.

It is I, Kent.
Are my carrot cake cupcakes ready?
Yep, we have them right here.
And we put cats and cars on top.
See?
Oh, these cupcakes.
The cat cookies and the candy cars on top?
They are so cute.
So colorful.
So Kent.
Glad you like them.
Thanks, Mr. Kent.
No, thank you.
I hope to see you both again soon.
Oh my little carrot cake cupcakes with cat cookies and candy cars.
You are just so cute.
Nice work, Alfie.
We helped Caroline's customer get exactly what he wanted.
She's going to be so happy.
I'm glad we can help her today.
That was fun.
Yeah, me too.
But that ticking clock is telling me it's time to go home.
Let's just hang up our aprons before we go.
Okay, I'll hang mine over.
Hey, there's a box over there with our names on it.
Nice.
Oh, and there's a note from Caroline.
Alfie and Quentin.
Thanks for your help today.
Here are some chocolate cupcakes I made just for you.
Chocolate cupcakes are my favorite.
Do you want one for the walk home Alfie?
You definitely deserve it.
Yes, yes.
Here you go.
I'll close up.
Wow.
Being a cupcake baker is a lot of work, but it is pretty delicious.
You know, I love the letter C. It's interesting and tasty.
True.
Especially when it comes to cookies, cupcakes, cakes, and candy.
And don't forget the carrots.
Oh, I'd never forget the carrots.
And Quentin, I have some good news.
What do you mean, little man?
Now that we've done the letter C, I can sing my ABCs.
A, B, C, C?
All done!
Very funny, little man.
But you know that song's just getting started, right?
I sure hope so.
Welcome back.
Did you two have a nice day?
Mom, I can't wait to tell you all about the cupcakes!
And I can't wait to hear.
Thanks so much, Quentin.
Your playdates are always so cool.
Bye, Quinton!
See you tomorrow, right?
Of course, Alfie.
