[THEME SONG BEGINS]


>> RACHEL: Hey, chefs! Get ready to simmer up some fun, because it’s COOKING WEEK on Chompers.


Start brushing on the top of your mouth on one side, and brush in little circles all the way around each tooth


>> KIDS: 3, 2, 1 brush! 


[THEME SONG ENDS]


>> RACHEL: I hope you brought your apron, ‘cause today we have a tasty cooking quiz!


[QUIZ THEME] 


>> RACHEL: How tall was the tallest cake ever made?


Was it…..


Ten feet — as tall as a basketball hoop? 


[WHISTLE]


>> RACHEL: Fifty feet — as tall as a five-story building?


[LONGER WHISTLE] 


>> RACHEL: Or over 100 feet — that’s taller than 5 giraffes stacked on top of each other? 


[LONGEST WHISTLE] 


>> RACHEL: To figure it out, let’s learn more about how cakes are made.


Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>> RACHEL: -and brush the inside, the outside, and chewing side of each tooth.


[MUSIC  BEGINS]


>> RACHEL: Cakes are great for celebrating — there’s nothing better than a birthday cake covered in frosting and candles. And there are all kinds of cakes — sponge cakes, coffee cakes, cheesecakes. 


[SLURP]


>> RACHEL: Whatever kind of cake you’re making, you’re probably gonna need the same basic cake ingredients: eggs, flour, butter or oil, and, of course, SUGAR. 


KID: YUM!


>> RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the bottom of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>> RACHEL: -and brush your molars in the back.


When you’re making a cake, you first measure and then mix all the ingredients into a batter. Batter doesn’t really look anything like cake, more like tasty goopy slime…


[GOOP]


>> RACHEL: That’s why you need to bake the batter, when you put it in the oven. When you heat the batter in the oven, it makes the goopy batter turn into a fluffy cake that’s ready to eat. 


>> KIDS: Yay!


[MUSIC ENDS]


>> RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…


 [SWITCH BELL] 


>> RACHEL: -but don’t forget your front teeth. 


So now that we know a little more about cakes, it’s time for you to make a guess:
