The episode starts with Cotton-tail deciding to make a cake for her bunny friend Felix's birthday. But when she goes to collect some fruit from Mr. McGregor's garden, she ends up getting stuck in a jam jar.
Meanwhile, the three other rabbits are on their way to Felix's birthday party when they realize that Cotton-tail is missing. They set out to search for her and soon come across Mr. McGregor's garden where they find Cotton-tail trapped in the jar. However, the jar is too heavy for them to carry it back to their burrow, and they need to find a way to free Cotton-tail.
In their attempt to free Cotton-tail, they accidentally end up ruining the batch of strawberries that they had collected. They realize that they need to replace the strawberries with another fruit to complete the cake. They start looking for alternatives and come across a field of blackberries. But the field turns out to be guarded by a grumpy old badger who is not very fond of rabbits.
Undeterred, Peter decides to distract the badger while Benjamin and Lily sneak in to collect the blackberries. Peter uses his wit and charm to engage the badger in a conversation and soon enough, the others are able to collect enough blackberries for Cotton-tail's cake.
Back at their burrow, they set about making the cake. The first attempt is a disaster, with the batter overflowing from the pan and burning in the oven. However, they soon realize their mistake and start over with a new recipe. The second attempt is a success, and Cotton-tail's cake turns out to be delicious.
As they make their way to Felix's birthday party, they come across a swarm of bees that have settled on the path they were taking. They quickly realize that they need to distract the bees to avoid getting stung. Using the leftover blackberries from the cake, they create a trail for the bees to follow, leading them away from the path.
Finally, they reach Felix's party where they surprise him with the delicious cake. Felix is overjoyed and thanks them for the gift. They all celebrate together with cake and a game of hide-and-seek.
