Love Monster
Moon Cake Day (2x19)
:
It’s the morning of the Moon Cake Day festival. Love Monster announces to everyone that he is going to make an enormous, record-breaking, strawberry moon cake for the finale, which will take place at his house later. The festival begins, and Love Monster borrows a recipe book from Book Cub on how to make moon cakes. Love Monster reads the list of ingredients; he’ll need eggs, butter, flour and strawberries. Book Cub reminds him that big moon cakes take a little longer to make, but they are worth the extra work.
Love Monster is excited to start baking but is immediately distracted by Tiniest Fluffiest Bunny, who invites him to join in the rabbit lantern race. Love Monster decides to have one quick race, and then he’ll start the moon cake.

He decides to stay for one little song but ends up staying longer to have a go himself. He plays a cool song and beatboxes along, but then he realises that the sun is setting, and he hasn’t even begun making his moon cake.
He quickly starts to run back to his house but is distracted yet again – this time by Book Cub’s shadow puppet show. Enthralled, Love Monster sits down and accidentally watches the whole show. It is now really late! Love Monster rushes to the shop to get the ingredients for the moon cake and hurries back home. But when he gets back, he realises that he has forgotten the strawberries! Just then, everyone arrives outside - they’re ready for the moon cake.
Love Monster panics and starts throwing together the ingredients and adding in pickles and onions in place of the strawberries. But it’s too late: there’s not enough time to finish it and his cake is a disaster. He admits to his friends that he got distracted by all of the festival fun and didn’t leave enough time to make the enormous moon cake he promised them all. Everyone is disappointed, but Elder Kitten says that mini cakes
