Background: As a kid, Jake used to come up with these imaginative "choose your own adventure" type games in his mind, then have me play along. He would describe a setting, I would have to try to solve my way out of the puzzle using resources he described.
He called them "Cupcake Adventures", and the reward at the end of everyone was finding the cupcake. Really fun, and really bonding times with him.
Fast forward, Jake found a programming website called Scratch, and decided to try to program one of these Cupcake Adventures.
This is his first attempt. See if you can solve it, and find the elusive cupcake!

Hey u/futoncrawler!
Thank you so much (Arigato gozaimasu, according to Google translate)!
By the way, this is you... you helped Jake become an international author, with sales on THREE continents! (sure, it's just one book, but his mom is very proud).
Hope all is well and you're staying safe over there!
