A delightful ballet full of surprises and floury chaos!
An anonymous birthday invitation has been sent to everyone in the neighbourhood—but no one knows whose birthday it is! The party is set in a lively household led by a mother to many children. Preparations are in full swing, but the kitchen has spiralled into a floury frenzy, with baking gone completely out of control.
Determined to salvage the event, sisters and friends rally together to get things back on track. The younger children, eager to help, are shooed away by the mums, who fear they’ll only add to the mess. Meanwhile, the family’s pussycats remain blissfully indifferent to the commotion—even the cheeky mice scurrying about can’t rouse them.
As teamwork takes hold, the oven finally produces a tray of fabulous cupcakes, and hope is restored. The guests begin to arrive, bringing colourful bunting, bouquets, balloons, and gifts. Bit by bit, the party comes together—and it starts looking like a truly joyful celebration!
