- Whoa!
Niños, time for dinner.
Oh, boy, Abuela, I'm famished!
Watch it, slow-poke butt-dingus!
Ow.
But I made your favorite dessert.
What, pan dulce?
Yeah, I ate them already,
so tasty as always, Abuela.
Did you eat them all?
No, hold on...
Now I have.
Victor, that was for everyone.
What is the matter with you?
Whatever, you don't knowww me!
Aaah!
I'm sorry, mijo,
there will be no more skateboarding
until you behave like a good niño.
Psh. No one takes my skateboard away, not even grandma.
Silence! Stupid bird!
Hey!
Hehehehe...
Sinverguenza, malcriado!
No more skateboarding until I say so!
Gahh! You never let me do anything!
Ahhh! Ugh!
I'd rather be skating than be in this dumb family.
Okay.
Mañana, you will learn your lesson.
What is this place?
Aqui te van a poner derechito.
If I can't teach you how to be a good niño,
this man will scare you into being a good niño.
What man?
The Cupcake Man.
Cupcake Man!
Ya vamonos!
Eh! Que chamaco tan grosero.
You don't know me! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
This is for your own good, Victor.
I don't know what you're thinking,
but no amount of cupcakes is gonna fix me.
Cupcake Man, so lame.
I never liked cupcakes.
This guy's gotta be the biggest nerd.
"Oh, excuse me,
would you like sprinkles on that?"
How does he make them? With a Baby Bake oven?
were how I learned to make my first cupcake.
Oh! T-That's really, really nice, mister.
A-Are you the Cupcake Man?
Hmmm...
This is so duuummmbb...
You're just as bad as Chata said.
Huh? What? No, I'm not!
Whatever, you don't know me.
If you don't get your cupcake certificate,
then you'll never see this again.
No! You monster!
What do you want me to do, I'll do anything!
Let's go to the kitchen, and I'll show you, ey?
These are the tools that will help shape you
into a better man, ey!
Take for example my homie, Flaco.
He used to be a hard guey, nobody could beat him.
But now, his sprinkles can't be beat.
Meh.
This is Li'l Smiley...
He used to be the most wanted vato in the country.
But now, the only thing he's wanted for
is his buttercream recipe.
Eh. There's nothin' smiley or li'l about that fool!
Huh?
No, no! I'm just a kid!
Here's the frosting, Jefe.
Gracias, homes.
You see, Victor, the Cupcake Code
has taught these former hombres malos to know better.
I'm going to teach you how to prep, bake, and decorate.
So, do you have what it takes to make the perfect cupcake, ese?
Here, frost the rest.
Psh, do I have what it takes, duh!
I run abuela's stand, where I make real food,
so this is gonna be a piece of cup cake!
Get it?
Psh, tough crowd.
Let the pro handle this.
Frosting fight!
Run-by frosting!
Que demonios esta pasando aqui!
Yeah, this thing was broken.
Better get it fixed.
I'm not letting you out of my sight.
Entiendes, Mendez?
Oops.
Starting now?
Mocoso! Add flour and huevos.
Now!
Faster!
Mixing time! Andale!
Ugh, is it 5:00 yet?
Hey! These cupcakes ain't gonna bake themselves.
They're done baking. Go!
Eh...
Time to decorate! Apurate mocoso!
C'mon, speed it up!
Faster!
Aaah!
No naps, ese! And pick this mess up.
Hello?
I don't think I can survive to the end of the day.
You'll never guess what they're doing to me!
They're making you work?
Isn't it awful?!
Just listen to the Cupcake Man.
Do whatever he says to earn your certificate
and you'll get your skateboard back.
Right! I should listen in on his conversations
and use that information to steal the certificate.
Good idea, Val!
Oh, well.
I can't go on a sprinkle run in the middle of the lunch hour!
Ugh. Fine, I'll be there in 15 minutes.
If I were the Cupcake Man,
where would I hide my cupcake certificates...
a-ha!
Going somewhere, mocoso?
Wait, wait, how did you...
There was no one on the other end of that call, was there?
This was a setup!
As if I would ever run out of sprinkles.
I'm disappointed in you.
I was hoping to put you on the path
of becoming a good niño.
Guess I was mistaken.
Whatever! You don't know me!
You don't know what I've done!
You don't know what I've seen!
You don't know how I feel!
That's where you're wrong.
I do know you, because I was you.
Yo, Li'l Smiley!
I need you out front with the customers.
And remember, service with a smile!
He knows we have a dental plan.
Now listen up! This is bigger
than getting some little skateboard back.
I'm going to tell you what's gonna happen to you,
because it happened to me.
Not so long ago, I was your age.
I had a real problem with authority
and couldn't stand being told what to do.
It wasn't long until my family had to turn their backs on me
and kick me out of the house.
I should have known this was coming,
but I didn't see the signs.
Before I knew it, I had lost everything I cared about.
Aah!
It wasn't long after that I fell in with the wrong crowd.
And they weren't just tough,
they were animals.
It was only a matter of time until they kicked me out
just like my family did.
The years went by and before I knew it,
I wasn't a kid anymore.
I knew if I didn't change my ways, I'd end up alone
with nothing to my name but some old junk.
No! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
You really do know me! I'll do anything!
I promise I'll be a good niño!
Then show me what you got.
Hmm.
Huh...
This isn't a cupcake...
It's not?!
It's a masterpiece...
Really?!
...shaped like a cupcake.
Is that still good?
It's not good.
Aw.
It's great!
Uh, do I get the certificate or not?
Oooh!
I hope he wasn't too much trouble.
I think you'll be happy to see that your bad niño
is now a good niño.
I'm sorry, Grandma, I'm derechito now.
Ay, mi niño, of course I forgive you.
Don't worry Don, I didn't forget you.
What's going? If you think
I'm falling for such an obvious act,
you have another thing coming, huh!
Mmmm, it's so good!
you have to come over for dinner
so we can properly thank you!
Thank you, but my job here is never finished.
Someone has to make the cupcakes and that someone is me.
That's why I'm the Cupcake Man.
And not the Dinner Guest Man.
You understand, little homie.
Bye, Cupcake Man! You really do know me!
