To Princess Celestia,
I write to you in order to express my misfortune.
I was led to believe that it was a “piece of cake” to bake a pretty cake. That phrase means that it is easy. It is not. The instructional video Anonymous showed me clearly stated that if the way were to become hazy, I must do the cooking by the book. It also said to not be lazy and to never use a messy recipe. This is sound instruction, and I have followed it to the best of my ability. However, that is where my understanding ends.
The cook book Pinkie Pie made for me is very detailed. Unfortunately, there are no mentions of the terms used in the instructional video. I do not know what it means to “drop it down” or “back it up.” I am unsure if those are baking techniques or merely human phrases that I am unfamiliar with. I would seek Anonymous or Pinkie Pie to help me understand, but they are away. My intention was to present them with a cake upon their return. It seems that this will not come to pass.
This misfortune weighs heavily upon me. I only wish to repay my friends the kindness they have shown me. I will try to find another way to do so.
