He and Flambe bakes the triple-decker vanilla Wander Cake in "Mad About Madagascar", but they were out of vanilla and forcing Waldo, Wenda and Woof to get a fresh vanilla for Wizard Flambe from the island of Madagascar. He teams up with Waldo and Wenda to stop Odlulu from obtaining the Wind Key in "Norway Out" which this magic key is too powerful for her to handle.
