Summary: Sassy Gingerbread Baby lives in the bedroom of a boy named Mattie. When Mattie has plans to play with his friends and working in the kitchen, Gingerbread Baby decides to find friends of his own. He happens to find a bakery, where he cartwheels, leaps, and sings to get the attention of a sugar cookie girl, white swans in a sugar frosting sea, and others. When no one acknowledges him, he gives up and leaves the bakery for home, only to be chased by a mouse, a cat, the baker, his wife, and a red fox. Narrowly escaping their capture, he returns home to find Gingerbread friends waiting for him.
