Bookroo's summary

In a world where tiny people wield massive machines, a birthday cake becomes an epic construction project. Picture an industrialized Lilliput, where cranes and helicopters buzz around, and hundreds of miniature workers labor tirelessly. As they transform ingredients into a towering confection, the line between baking and building blurs. What challenges will these tiny architects face, and will their colossal creation stand tall? Dive into this whimsical tale where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and a simple cake is anything but.

From the publisher

Little people use BIG machines to make a GIANT birthday cake! Imagine an industrialized Lilliput. Imagine today. Imagine an enormous construction site. Imagine a birthday cake like no other. What if the people you order your next birthday cake from are tiny, and what if they build cakes the way we build buildings? Tractor-trailers and giant cranes, catwalks, and helicopters. Hundreds of workers. Never have you seen such a construction site in this Horn Book Fanfare Award winner!
