Synopsis
Mrs. Bernard has finally had enough of her sleeping husband never doing any work. She's leaving, and she's never coming back. Pecola and Coco decide to help Mr. Bernard by making a batch of cookies- except that they didn't quite follow the recipe, and the cookies explode out of the oven, putting a hole in the wall of the bakery. Never mind that they're hard as rocks. But Pecola and Coco don't give up so easily. Baking bread is next. There's just one little problem: the bag of flour that they bring up is actually cement, so the bread looks great, but it's as heavy as bricks. Hey, that's just what the Bernards needed. The hole in the wall gets fixed in an especially bakery-ish way.
