Fred: Bakes a Cake

Fred the dog LOVES to try new things – what will he do today? Peep inside his special sparkly bag to discover where his adventures will take him next.

Today Fred's the the kitchen: he's put on his chef's hat and apron, and he's ready to make a cake for his friends. However, ignoring the recipe, Fred decides to add all his favourite ingredients instead - broccoli, sausages and puppy treats. What could possibly go wrong?

But whatever Fred turns his paw to – whether it’s baking a cake or blasting off into space – it’s sure to be lots of fun. Because this can-do dog always tries his best and keeps going – even if there are a few mishaps along the way!
