#1 - The Big Cake Mix-Up
Season 1 - Episode 52 - Aired 1/24/2000
Max and Emmy head to Dragon Land, where the dragons are excited about preparing a cake for the Annual Baking Contest. The first prize is a cookbook. Quetzal loves cooking and so they want to win the cookbook for him. The first thing to do is get the ingredients. They're making a draognberry carrot cake and they need flour, milk, eggs, carrots and dragonberries. They all head off. We see that Ord and Max are gathering eggs. They've gathered a whole bunch. Ord cracks a couple, but it's not a big deal because they had a full basket. The scene switches to Zak and Wheezie, who we see are getting... eggs? Their strategy is slightly different: they've found a chicken and Wheezie's having it lay eggs, calling them "Strikes" as if it were a baseball game. One of the eggs ends up cracking on Zak's head, which Wheezie calls a foul ball. Everybody gathers, where we learn that Emmy and Cassie also got eggs. This isn't working. They were all supposed to get different ingredients, but they didn't choose who was going to get what. They try again, this time specifically agreeing to each get different ingredients. With that finally settled, they go ahead with the making of the cake. But nobody wants to follow the recipe and everyone wants to put their items into the mix first. Wheezie decides they need a chef and appoints "Zaky" the chef. Zak is a good chef and he consults the recipe. They encounter some problems. They don't have baking pans big enough for the mix, so they decide to make a layer cake. They aren't allowed to use sharp tools and are worried they can't grate the carrots, but Ord solves that problem with his sharp tail. There's another problem: what happened to the dragonberries? Ord doesn't admit as much onscreen, but it's obvious that he ate them. They don't have any spares, so they use popcorn instead. There's one other problem: they're not allowed to use the oven without their parents' help. Wheezie solves that problem: "MOOOOOOOMMMMM!" They enter the cake in the con
