- Hooble doop, Tiddlypeeps.

I'm Hubba Hubba talking

to you from Hoobland.

And I'm about to send

four of my favorite Hoobs

down to Earth to find

out all about you

for my great Hoobapedia,

here they come!

(bright music)

(all munching)

- Mm, isn't this the

most hoobaliciously

scrummy cake in the world?

- Yeah, there's nothing quite

like froogal fruit cake.

- Mm, froogal fruit cake

is hoobily groobily.

But I'm a bit fed up with being

the only Hoob around

here that makes it.

It would be nice if

someone made a cake for me.

- Hey, Tula, I'll

make a cake for you.

- That would be fantabby

hooby, Iver, thank you.

- Ah, I am so full.

Where did everyone go?

Not that full.

- All right, Tula, what

sort of cake would you like?

- Hm, now let me see, well

there's froogal fruit cake...

- Well, actually I

was thinking of making

something different

just for a change.

- Something different?

- Mm.

- Oh, I like the sound of that.

- But will something different

taste as good as

froogal fruit cake?

- Actually, I was thinking of

making a Peep cake. (laughs)

- Hooby gallooby, a Peep cake?

Oh yes, that will be different.

- You're gonna make a Peep cake?

But how?

♪ How, how, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how, how, how ♪

- I don't know how, but

I'm going to find out.

- Finding out how to make a

Peep cake is one thing, Iver.

But there must be all

sorts of Peep cakes.

- Yeah, which Peep cake

would a Hoob like best?

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba. (echoes)

- It's Hubba Hubba, that

must be today's question.

- Which Peep cake

would a Hoob like best

is a fantabby hooby

question for Hoob News.

- Thank you, Hubba Hubba.

- I'm sure Hoobs

everywhere would like

to know about Peep cakes,

and I am longing to put

all that information

in my great Hoobapedia.

I'll email Roma to tell her

that today cakes are the thing.

- Thanks, Hubba Hubba,

I'm sure Roma will find

a fantabby hooby Peep cake.

- I have no doubt that she will.

And while we're

waiting for her report,

let me see what I can

find out on Hoobnet.

Ah, and the first

thing to come up

is this story from a

Tiddlypeep, let's have a look.

(light music)

- [Narrator] One day, the

sugar, the butter, and the eggs

jumped into a big mixing bowl.

Then a big wooden

spoon b*at them

into a smooth, creamy mixture.

They were just about to pour

themselves into the baking tin

when the butter panicked.

- Ahh, there's

something missing!

- What do you mean?

- [Narrator] Snapped the sugar.

- [Eggs] We're all here.

- [Narrator] Squeaked the eggs.

- We can't be.

- [Narrator] Cried the butter.

- We're all sploshy and

usually we're nice and stiff.

- Okay, okay!

- [Narrator] Shouted the spoon.

- Let's go through

what we usually do.

- [Eggs] Oh, must we?

- [Narrator] Sighed the

eggs who were really keen

to get into the oven to warm up.

- Yes, otherwise

you'll be a big flop.

- [Narrator] Snapped the spoon.

- First of all, I b*at the

sugar and the butter up.

Then in go the eggs and

make you all sloppy.

- [Eggs] But you wouldn't

get a cake without us.

- [Narrator] Squeaked the eggs.

- [All] So what's missing?

- [Narrator] They all cried.

The spoon stared

around the mixing bowl.

And suddenly realized

exactly what was missing.

- Flour!

- [Narrator] He screamed.

- Where's the flour?

- [Narrator] Yelled the butter.

- [Eggs] Get the flour

in here right now.

- [Narrator] Squeaked the eggs.

The flour was having a little

nap behind the microwave.

- Oh dear.

(Tula laughs)

- [Narrator] He woke up

when he heard the shouting.

And quickly shook

himself into the bowl.

The spoon zoomed

him round and round,

and soon the mixture

was lovely and stiff.

- [All] Hooray!

- [Narrator] They all

cried as they poured

themselves into the tin.

- [All] We're going to be

the most delicious cake ever.

- [Narrator] And they were too.

- Hooby gallooby, so

that's how Peeps make cakes

with flour and sugar and eggs

and what was that other stuff?

- Butter.

- Butter, hmm strange.

- Yes, it's very very

different to making Hoob cakes.

- Yeah.

- How do you make

your cakes, Tula?

- Well, I just splosh in some

Hoobo fizz, some Hooby goop,

some froogal fruit,

and a few Hoob nibs,

rattle it all up in a bin,

then wallop it into a tin,

and leave it on the roof

garden to go rock hard.

Piece of cake. (laughs)

- (laughs) Well, it's a

good start that we know

what goes into Peep cakes,

but we're still not any nearer

to answering the News question.

Which Peep cake would

a Hoob like best?

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba. (echoes)

- Ah, have you found

something for us, Hubba Hubba?

- No, but I just had

a message from Roma.

She's on her way to have a slice

of truly marvelous Peep cake,

but she's stuck in

traffic at the moment.

How are you getting on?

- Oh, we're a bit stuck

as well, Hubba Hubba.

- Yeah.

- Well, what do you usually

do when you're a bit stuck?

- [All] Have a Hooby think.

(all hum)

♪ When you're stuck for

an answer on what to do ♪

♪ Stop, hmm, think it through ♪

♪ Take a deep breath

in, think it out ♪

♪ Work it through,

don't scream and shout ♪

♪ Think it through,

don't go boohoo. ♪

♪ Think it through,

you'll feel brand new ♪

♪ If you think it through,

if you think it through ♪

♪ If you think it

through, yeah ♪

(all hum)

- Well, did you have an idea?

- Yes.

- Yeah, so did I.

- And so did I.

- Oh, what was it?

- [All] Go and ask

the Tiddlypeeps!

- (laughs) That's exactly

the idea I had too.

- They're smart, they're fun,

and they're bound to know

all about Peep cakes.

Tiddlypeeps are Peeps after

all, and they love cake.

- I'll go and find some

Tiddlypeeps right away.

Groove?

- Yeah.

- Will you drive?

- Absohoobylutely, Iver,

I'll get those Motorettes

singing as fast as they can.

- Crumbs, no point

in letting the last

of the froogal fruit

cake go to waste.

- Seat belts.

- Yep.

- [Both] We're off to

see the Tiddlypeeps.

- Hooble doop, Tiddlypeeps.

- [Both] Hooble doop, Iver.

- Want to do a Hooby hello?

- [Both] Yes.

- [All] Hooble doop, hooble

doop, whoop whoop whoop.

- What are your names?

- I'm Tamara.

- And I'm Matt.

- Oh, Tamara and Matt.

Oh, that looks like a

very special cake, Tamara.

Groove, Tula, can

you see this cake?

- [Both] Yes, Iver.

- It is special, Iver,

it's my birthday cake.

- Your birthday cake?

Oh, what's a birthday cake?

- It's a cake you

get on your birthday.

- And the number of candles

tells everybody how old you are.

- Candles to show

how old you are?

Oh, Tula, Groove, isn't

that a hoobacious idea?

- [Both] Yeah.

- We'll needs

candles for our cake.

Do you share your cake

with other Tiddlypeeps?

- Our friends sing

happy birthday,

and then we cut the

birthday cake up

and everyone gets a piece.

- Right, so do Peeps always

sing when they have cake?

- No, we only sing when

we have birthday cake.

- Oh right, well, thank

you very much, Tiddlypeeps.

You've been ever so helpful.

I'd better be getting back

to the Hoobmobile now.

Hooble toodle doo!

- [Both] Hooble toodle doo!

(bright music)

- Hmm, well I think from now on

we should sing before we

eat my froogal fruit cake.

- Yeah, good idea, Tula.

And we should put some

candles on it too.

Oh, Iver, Iver, wouldn't

it be Hooby groovy

to have a birthday cake?

- Yes, except Hoobs don't

celebrate birthdays.

- No, but we do celebrate

our Hooby Twiddle Tuff Day.

We could make a Hooby

Twiddle Tuff Day cake.

- No, no, no, no, wait a minute.

No, we want a cake now.

We don't want to

hang about waiting

for our Twiddle Tuff Days.

- Ah, you're right Iver.

- Mm.

- Yeah.

Well, there must be other

kinds of Peep cakes.

- I hope so, but what?

♪ What, what, what ♪

♪ What ♪

- I wish I knew what,

then I'd make it.

- [Computer] Roma. (echoes)

- There's Roma, she must've

got through the traffic

and found her cake.

- Hooble doop, Hoobs.

- [All] Hooble doop, Roma.

- Tell us what you

found out about cakes.

- I will, I will, you'll

never believe where I am.

- Where are you?

- I'm at a wedding!

I came here because I

heard that at weddings

you get the most hoobacious

cakes, just look at it.

- [All] Hooby galooby.

- It's huge!

- This is a wedding cake.

And you see those

little Peeps on top?

That's the bride and groom.

They get married and

then there's a big party.

Everybody gets dressed

up, just like me, ha!

They eat lots of

fantabby hooby food,

and then the bride and groom

cut their wedding cake,

and give everybody a slice.

- Do they sing when

they cut the cake, Roma?

- No, they just cut the cake

and hand it round to the

guests of the wedding.

- Is the cake as hoobalicious

as it looks, Roma?

- That's a very good

question, Groove.

And one that deserves an answer.

- Good.

- Therefore, I will taste it.

(Groove laughs)

- Oh!

- Oh, on second thought, here

come the bride and groom.

I'd better ask them

to cut me a slice.

I wouldn't want to spoil it.

Hooble doop, bride and

groom, hooble doop!

Whoa!

(crowd gasps)

Oh, hooby bother.

Oh, I'm most dreadfully sorry.

But this bit's all right,

look this bit's fine.

Oh, I say.

- Poor Roma, do you think

they'll still give her a bit?

- I'm sure they will, Tula.

- That wedding

cake was enormous,

absolutely hooby groovy.

Make one like that for

us would you, Iver?

- Oh yes, I loved the little

bride and groom on the top.

- Yeah, and I'd love to know

if it was as hoobalicious

as it looked.

Wouldn't you, Iver?

- Yeah.

- I'd love a wedding cake!

- (laughs) Oh but,

Tula, Groove, wait.

None of us is getting married,

so it's really not the sort

of Peep cake that

will be best for is.

- But you could marry me, Iver.

- What?

- Only joking. (laughs)

- Oh, oh right, yes.

- You know we're

not doing very well

with this cake question, are we?

It's just making me feel hungry.

Where's the last slice

of froogal fruit cake?

- Well actually, Groove,

I finished off the

last of the crumbs.

- What? (scoffs)

- Oh, don't worry, Groove,

we are bound to find

the right Peep cake

for us any second now.

- But maybe Peeps only

have two sorts of cake,

wedding cake and birthday cake.

- And neither of those

would be good for Hoobs.

- Oh, Iver, why

don't you just make

another froogal fruit cake?

- No.

- No, Groove.

Iver promised me that

he'd make me a Peep cake,

and so he will.

- Besides, if I don't

find a Peep cake

that a Hoob would like,

then we don't answer

the question for

Hoob News, right?

- Doh.

- No one ever said it was

going to be easy, Groove.

- [Computer] Hubba

Hubba. (echoes)

- Hooble doop, Hubba Hubba,

we're not just stuck now.

We're really stuck.

- Well, when you see

what I found on Hoobnet,

you will be stuck

no longer, look.

- Hoobloads of hoobily

groobily Peep cakes.

(upbeat music)

Look at all these

different cakes, Hoobs.

(all gasp)

Aren't they spectacular?

I'll see if I can

get Auntie Hatty Hoob

some of the recipes for these.

Oh, seeing all these is

making me feel quite hungry.

They look hoobalicious!

- Whoa, hooby galooby.

- There's a whole world

of Peep cakes out there.

- I don't even

know where to begin

choosing one specially

for you, Tula.

I have to choose a Peep cake

for Iver to make, but I can't.

- Don't worry too...

Oh, excuse me, I was

just enjoy a slice

of Auntie Hatty Hoob's

froogal fruit cake.

(Groove whimpers)

Now then, you have

just enough time

to go and see some Tiddlypeeps.

They told you about

birthday cakes.

I'm sure they'll be

able to help you choose.

- I'll go, Tula,

- Hooble doop, Tiddlypeep.

- Hi, Iver.

- Oh, that cakes looks like

one of you Tiddlypeeps.

- It's supposed to look like me.

See, she's got brown

hair just like I have.

- And she's got a

dress like you too.

- Can you make cakes in the

shape of anything you want?

- Yes, anything at all.

- Did you hear that, Tula?

- Yes.

- You can make cakes in

the shape of anything.

What sort of shapes of you like?

- Castles.

- Castles.

- Or footballs, you

could even make a cake

in the shape of a wiggly worm.

- Oh.

(all laugh)

- Wiggly worm.

- Do you know you've given

me such a hoobacious idea.

Now I know exactly what sort

of cakes Hoobs would like best.

I'm going to make

one right away.

- Oh, thank goodness.

- Thank you so much,

and hooble toodle doo.

Hooble toodle doo!

(bright music)

- I wonder what cake

Iver's going to make.

- Oh, I don't know, Groove,

but the Tiddlypeeps gave

him a idea, didn't they?

- Yeah, well he

better makes it soon.

I'm feeling really weak.

- I found the answer

to the question.

- What is it?

- Oh, I haven't got

time to tell you now.

I need to make a cake.

- What now, it's time

for the Hoob News.

- I know, I know, I

know, I can do it I hope.

Hubba. (echoes)

- Are you ready with your

Hoob News for my Hoobapedia?

- We're nearly

ready, Hubba Hubba.

- It's just that

Iver's not here.

- No, no, but he will be soon.

- Oh, do you have the

answer to the question?

- We don't.

- But Iver does I hope.

- I've done it,

oh, I've done it!

- Fantabby hooby,

Iver, now take it away.

- What, the cake?

- (laughs) No, the news.

- Oh. (laughs)

(upbeat music)

Hooble doop whoop to

all you Hoobs out there.

Welcome to Hoob News, the news

show for Hoobs everywhere.

I'm Iver.

- I'm Tula.

- And I'm Groove.

- And today we've been

asking the question

which Peep cake would

a Hoob like best.

- [Tula] First,

Hubba Hubba found us

a hoobily groobily story

about how Peeps make cakes.

They use, sugar,

butter, eggs, and flour.

- But that didn't

help us work out

which cake we'd like best.

- [Iver] So we went to

see some Tiddlypeeps,

and they told us

about birthday cakes.

- [Groove] A birthday cake

has hooby groovy candles

which tell everyone

how old you are.

But Hoobs don't

celebrate birthdays,

so it wasn't really

the best cake for us.

- [Iver] Then Roma

had an accident

with another kind of Peep

cake called a wedding cake.

- [Tula] But none of

us was getting married,

so we knew that

wouldn't be the cake

a Hoob would like best.

- [Groove] Then, Hubba

Hubba showed us hoobloads

of different kinds

of Peep cakes.

- [Tula] We tried to decide

which one we'd like best.

But we couldn't.

- No, we were stuck until

Hubba Hubba suggested

we go and see some

more Tiddlypeeps.

- [Tula] They told Iver that

you can make a Peep cake

into whatever shape you want.

- And that gave me a hoobacious

idea, so I made this!

- Oh, that's fantabby hooby.

- It's a Peep cake in the

shape of Hubba Hubba Hoob.

- You've got me to

a T, Iver. (laughs)

- So the answer to the question

which Peep cake would

a Hoob like best is...

- [All] A Hoob-shaped

cake, Hoob Hoob hooray!

- Oh, I'm quite

overcome. (blows nose)

So it's thanks once again to

Iver, Tula, Groove, and Roma

for giving Hoobs

everywhere a little peep

into the world of Peeps.

And remember wherever

you are, have a nice day

and hooble toodle doo!

- [All] Hooble toodle doo!

- Right, who wants a

piece of my Peep cake.

- Yeah.

- Oh, me please.

- Excuse me, Iver,

but you're not going

to cut up that

good-looking cake, are you?

- Aren't I?

- (gasps) I should hope not.

- But Hubba Hubba, it's

cake, cake's are for eating.

- Yeah, even if they

are shaped like you.

- (laughs) I was

only joking, Hoobs.

I just hope it's as

delicious on the inside

as it is on the outside.
