Big Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday! A group of friends share something remarkable: they all have the same birth date. Their parents planned to celebrate with one big party, complete with special cakes for each child from the new bakery in town. However, little did they know that the wishes of the birthday boys and girls were about to come true in the wildest, messiest, and most thrilling ways possible! It is up to the birthday crew to rescue their parents and guests from the sticky, hilarious situations that arise. So, close your eyes and make a BIG wish, but be careful what you wish for!
