Flying sesames seeds and stampeding animal crackers are just a few of the dangers the tasty treat must face to defeat the wicked dessert. Ladyfingers and sugar cookies watch in suspense as the two sweets struggle for victory. Not one to crumble under pressure, the Gingerbread Man valiantly shouts "Flour Power!" just as he saves the day.
