In Rugrats season 1 episode 9, entitled "Let Them Eat Cake", Angelica's parents throw her a lavish French-themed birthday party. However, Angelica becomes jealous when she realizes that the new baby, Dil, is receiving more attention than her.
The episode begins with the babies arriving at Angelica's house for her birthday party. The house is decorated in a French theme, complete with Eiffel Tower cutouts and white tablecloths. Angelica gleefully shows off her new dress and tiara to her friends. However, when Angelica's mom brings out Dil, Angelica's mood immediately turns sour.
Angelica's mom, Charlotte, asks Angelica to hold Dil, but Angelica refuses and claims that she doesn't want to ruin her new dress. From this point on, Angelica is uninterested in her party and spends most of her time sulking in her room. The other babies try to cheer her up by playing with her new toys, but Angelica is unresponsive.
As the party progresses, the babies notice that the adults are enjoying a fancy cake in another room. They decide to sneak in and sample the cake. However, they quickly realize that they have made a mess and try to clean it up before the adults notice. In the process, Tommy accidentally knocks over the cake and it falls to the ground in a big, creamy mess.
The babies panic and try to hide the evidence by smearing the cake all over the walls. The scene is comical and the babies' expressions are hilarious as they try to cover up their mistake. Eventually, the adults catch them and the babies are scolded. Angelica's parents are especially upset when they see the mess, and Angelica thinks that the adults are no longer going to like her or pay attention to her.
Feeling guilty, the babies decide to clean up the mess. They use their creativity to make a new cake out of various foods they find in the kitchen. They use cheese balls for decorations, spaghetti for icing, and even a green pepper for a candle. The babies proudly present their creation to the adults, who are initially hesitant to try it.
However, when they realize how much effort the babies put into making the cake, they all take a bite. Surprisingly, the cake tastes delicious and the babies are praised for their ingenuity. Angelica is especially pleased, as she realizes that her friends care about her and want to make her happy. In the end, Angelica blows out the green pepper candle and the episode ends on a happy note.
