Dougal LeClair’s Incredible Cake

Dougal LeClair has decided to make a chocolate cake for the local fair’s cake competition. He doesn’t have all the ingredients, including the chocolate he needs. With a bit of bear logic, some cunning and a large dose of bravery, he bakes a massive, delicious-looking cake. The people at the fair are amazed, but does it really taste as delicious as it looks? Maybe there is another use for Dougal’s cake...?
