Not knowing how to bake, Fozzie's attempts at cooking are less than stellar, with him using marshmellows to make the eggs fluffy, and cherry cola in place of baking soda. When the cake is finished, its five layers were lumpy and lopsided, with the frosting looking like green slime. Piggy decides they should call it a Swamp Cake and serve it anyway. When Kermit sees the cake, he believes it is the Swamp Cake his mother used to make. Unfortunatly it did not taste like his mom's cake at all. However, the friends are supportive of Fozzie's attempts, and he promises that he's practice so that next year he can make a Super Duper Really Truly Boffo Birthday Cake. |

At the Ball, Gonzo hangs out against the wall, while everyone dances to the music of Fearless Frank's Caroling Cockatoos. When the band starts their big hit, "When the Red, Red Robin Comes bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along," Gonzo perks up as it is his favorite song. Soon he finds his toe tapping and his head bobbing to the music, and before he realizes it he runs out to the dance storm to twil, hop and skip. Miss Piggy tells him that he is indeed a fantastic dancer, and asks him to teach her the dance, and soon everyone there is doing the "Hip-Hop, Clip-Clop, Bop-Till-You-Drop-Dance." |
