Gustave LeGrand,the world famous baker from Prance, co-holder of the first-prize ribbon in the National Desert competition, was asked to cater desert for a charity event in Canterlot. It was to be a formal occasion, with high hats and arrow collars for the stallions, and spangled gowns for the mares. Some ponies, in their desperate need to hobnob with the rich, had even spent their last two bits on tickets to attend. On the day of the event, due to a mistake in the weather scheduling, a horrible storm that necessitated umbrellas put the party-goers in a poor mood. Knowing that a large portion of the guests were there specifically for his food, Gustave began to sweat. In fact, the turn-out for the party was more than double what he had expected, due to last minute ticket purchases. Gustave also knew that an average desert would not wow the mostly well-to-do crowd that was gathered there, so he churned out sweet after sweet, assuring himself that he would be able to satisfy even the most discerning of sweet-toothed attendees. He ended up making so many dishes, that he ran out of nearly every ingredient. With not much time before the guests would begin clamoring for his fare, he checked his stock one last time. With no more than a box of crackers left to turn into a tasty treat, inspiration struck! He decided that he would take a custard that had finished setting, and use it as a topping, hoping that nopony would notice his improvisation. Finally, it came time to bring out his desserts, and what better dish to start with? Carrying his serving tray in while twirling his mustache, Gustave announced his first offering.
