History Recap / LittlestPetShop2012S1E15ToppedWithButtercream

At The Littlest Pet Shop, Buttercream instantly fits in with the other pets and has a breakdance session with them, and Russell officially inducts her into their ranks. After an introduction to what is available at Sweet Delights and the renovation team calls it a day, Buttercream brings them there through a hole in the wall connecting the interiors in spite of Russell's protests. Initially in awe of the edibles immediately available, Penny spots a painting of a candy landscape on the back wall and, stating she wants to live there, asks Buttercream if they make things like that in the store. Buttercream answers in the affirmative and shows the pets the kitchen, but before she can do anything else, they [[JustForPun whisk]] her inside and start gorging on the raw materials, dropping her signature peppermint candy from her head to the floor near the entrance hole. Before long, the pets have fallen ill, and Penny starts hallucinating. Pepper's stench snaps her out of it though, and she suggests they return to the pet shop. Russell tries to open the door to the kitchen, but it refuses to open.

* ShoutOut:
** "The Sweet Shop Song" is done, both the song and the sequence, in the style of early rock from TheFifties, particularly Music/ChuckBerry's "Johnny B. Goode." It also resembles the songs from ''Film/{{Grease}}''.
** Pepper's series of quick "You know what" exclamations after getting sick may be based on the WebAnimation/YouTubePoop "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O36f1p8QSaw Big Beat Mario]]."

Blythe brings Youngmee to go to The Littlest Pet Shop, only for the both of them to discover the pets are nowhere in sight. Blythe searches around the day camp room in case they're playing hide-and-seek but soon realizes they're not in the room. Jasper and Sue drop in and join the search, but to no avail. Things go FromBadToWorse for Blythe as Mrs. Twombly returns too, but Blythe successfully holds her off for long enough to discover Buttercream's candy peering through a hole in the wall, deducing that the pets are in Sweet Delights. She calls for them but doesn't receive an answer. Blythe asks Youngmee if they can enter the store, but Youngmee regrets she doesn't have the keys yet. Youngmee borrows Blythe's scooter to find Christie, who has the keys, at her pilates session, but by the time Youngmee arrives, Christie had already left for a manicure. She goes to the nails salon but is told Christie has headed for a watch repair shop. At the pet shop, Blythe grows increasingly anxious as the pets' owners will return any moment.

* KarmaHoudini: Buttercream gets the pets into the mess they're in, albeit accidentally, but never tries to help get them out. She is also the only one who remains hostile when everyone else makes peace with each other until Penny Ling talked to her about it. In spite of that, she maintains Blythe's trust, and, by [[Recap/LittlestPetShop2012S1E16SweetTruckRide the next episode]], is on good terms with everyone else.

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: It would be a lot more unsettling if Jasper hit Sue any time Sue said something dumb.

* MadnessMantra: "Sugar sugar sugar sugar..."

* OutOfOrder: The premiere dates for this episode and "[[Recap/LittlestPetShop2012S1E14TradingPlaces Trading Places]]" were switched, putting "Topped with Buttercream" before it despite being made second. Reasons are difficult to pinpoint, but it was most likely to get Buttercream out sooner to [[MerchandiseDriven sell toys of her]].

* ShoutOut: "The Sweet Shop Song" is done, both the song and the sequence, in the style of doo-wop from TheFifties, particularly "Johnny B. Goode."

* UnreliableNarrator: The most likely reason Blythe would miss the fact that the pets are completely sick of sweets after hearing Minka's story.

** Someone [[Recap/LittlestPetShop2012S1E11BooksAndCovers stalls Mrs. Twombly from discovering missing pets in the day camp room]]. This time, it's Blythe.

Youngmee bursts into The Littlest Pet Shop to inform Blythe that she and her Aunt Christie have moved their business, a desserts shop named Sweet Delights, next door. The two step outside to see the building getting renovated, where Youngmee's aunt Christie gives the girls test samples of her cake pops. They give their approval, and Christi asks Blythe if their pet rabbit Buttercream Sundae is giving the other pets any trouble.
