The children of Trulliland compete to make the best pound cake in the Trulli Bakeoff. Copperpot creates a magic potion to transform himself into a falcon but uses the wrong ingredients and so turns into a chicken. He then falls into the potion and becomes a giant chicken. Sun, Ring, Stella and Zip fail to stop Copperpot due to them arguing over who is the best cook but later defeat him in their second encounter.


This episode provides examples of:

  • A Taste of Defeat: The children initially fail to stop Copperpot.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Copperpot turns into a giant chicken in the episode.
  • "Blind Idiot" Translation: The English title is seemingly meant to be a Pun-Based Title referring to a non-existent combination of a Victoria sponge cake and a pound cake. A solution could have been to change the title to "The Victorious Sponge Cake", as is the case in Germany in which the title is "Der siegreiche Rührkuchen" which translates as "The winning sponge cake", because most of the show's primary demographic are not the smartest and would be unable to tell the difference between a pound and a sponge cake.
  • Cooking Duel: The children compete to make the best pound cake.
  • Mirror Reveal: Copperpot turns into a chicken and screams after seeing his reflection in a mirror because he thought he would turn into a falcon.
  • Similar Item Confusion: Copperpot adds salt instead of sugar to his potion and so turns into a chicken instead of a falcon.
  • Tornado Move: Zip uses his powers to defeat Copperpot in his chicken form by creating a tornado that plucks his feathers.
