"When the revolution comes, who will be the first against the gingerbread wall?"
Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, goes to Las Pegasus to attend the Great Equestrian Bake-Off. Being Twilight Sparkle, she can't have a pleasant trip, no. She finds herself in a convoluted mess of tribalism, government mandated fairness, a dying element of earth pony culture, and what just might be the remnants of the Great Equestrian Dream, a unity that might have never existed.
Left with no other choice, Twilight decides it is time to smash the system, forgetting that she is the system. Somehow, Twilight manages to lead a revolt against her own authority.
An entry in the Weedverse.
Chapters (38)
I feel as though certain comments will be inevitable, based on the title.

BREAD IS DEAD!
DOWN WITH BAKED BADS!
9070380
This is good.
i look forward to how the bake off will be structured, one large contest with on big prize or a number of various style competitions that have different prizes
Vi La REVCAKELUTION
Viva la revolución.

"I'm sorry, darling. I'm ever so certain I don't speak that ghastly taco-language of yours."
Kudzu comes swinging right out the gate on this one. I was chuckling this whole chapter

Down with the ordered layers of lamination! Rise with the rough puff of the proletariat!
9070465 Man, I love the pony.mov series. A bit dark, but funny.
Speaking of the .mov series, did you read the Jappleack tumblr blog thing? That's pretty trippy.
Aw that sweet moment between Twilight and Pinkie was nice.
I see what you did there…

¡Viva Zap-manzana! ¡Viva la sidra!
Dis is gunna be gud.
(but in seriousness, LOVE this, I was chuckling the whole time I was reading )
All I could think of was how poor Applejack's got it worst than anypony else.
Aww, I was hoping they'd take Sugar Belle.
She should probably have a talk with RD about being an adrenaline junkie.
Also, just from this description, I'm of the mind that we are all allowed freedom of association. Let each tribe have their own exclusive competition, as well as a unified one.
Sounds like AJ is about to unleash the Cosby Curse on the girls, the most vicious, nasty thing any parent can do to their children.
"Someday, you will have children just like you!"

Woe unto those of us to whom bread is perished!
No more for us the peaceful fermentations of the dough! Never again shall the slap-slap-slapping sounds of aeration be heard in our now-deserted kitchens, and no more shall the gentle warmth of our ovens bring comfort to our homes
Farewell to thee, sweet brioche and bara brith and especially to the hearty rye, may you rise in yeast.
Let us lament these tidings and hope no similar fate shall befall our other glutinous fellows. Pizza, cake, muffin, I wish you luck.

RELEASE THE BREADNOUGHT!
This is going to be a ride. I am pumped.
Never send to know for whom the timer dings; it dings for thee.
This is dumb. You're dumb.
*leans in and whispers* Keep going.

I think you mean this one

The blog was great. Added a bit of pathos and seriousness to an otherwise gag-only blog.
I like the inclusion of "Equestria Prime" and the rest of the blog multiverse.
Even gets a brief mention in the main .mov series.
Interesting to see Sugar Belle brought in.
Here's hoping that the trip advances the overall state of certain relationships.
Poor Pinkie. I do wonder what Mrs Cake said upon receiving her resignation.
I can't imagine that Mrs Cake gave Pinkie any sort of doubt about the security of her job, especially since she is an earth pony herself. One does remember how she acted about Starlight magic-making a cake...
The conflict has been brought to roll, let's see who gets run over in the next chapter...
The fuse is lit, but then what's the detonation? Digging up the ancient, hidden tribalism against earth ponies? This is very intriguing.
Oh, Twilight. Don't you remember harvesting all those apples with magic before being an alicorn?
Also, I have to wonder if nothing like the Cornucopia Effect or the like has ever come up. Being an evolutionary dead end would be a tragedy in terms of progress, industrial advancement erasing the earth pony from the civilized world.
Aha! A budding member of the EWDA (Equestrian Wagonduel Association)! I wonder if he prefers grape shots or pie throwers.
Between growing up with Twilight Sparkle and living in Ponyville, it’s amazing his Pinkie Sense isn’t more developed.
Frustration and fury, more devastating than a hundred cannons. It'll be exciting to see how Twilight handles this issue, she could very well end up being the straw that broke the camels back. I wonder how close we are to revolution levels of happening because if these 3 feel this way how many more feel even worse?
Or maybe they'll just crash this train with no survivors.
Seville might just go and write Invisible Pony.
It's rough being an earth pony.
Damn! Resigned?! Just like that... shit. That caught me off guard. Though I suppose hard to compete with a unicorn with a cutie mark in baking... shit.
Oh yeah, im waiting to see how this particular bomb explode.

I wonder if Sugar Belle being hired was a reaction to Starlight making that cake. If you can't beat them, join them.
Immortality + power + ennui makes for a dangerous combination...

How fiendish.
Tackling the heavy stuff, eh? I didn't even think about how Eternity would affect Twilight, and it's so obvious that it would in hindsight. Twilight's already a neurotic mess, but add the experience of entropy and that results in a serious mental health issue.
All in all; very naisu.
Hmmmmmmm, is this the first time Armor~Cola has been mentioned? I wonder what’s in it.
9078984
Armor~Cola. It shields you from thirst and protects you from dehydration! The bold choice, for bold ponies. Try it today!
Twi needs a good fronking badly. Also, when are we getting Gos~cola? I am imagining a high energy drink. Gos~cola! It gives you wings!
9079109
No.
Goose~Joose.
Yeah
9078906
That guy said it perfectly.
Didnt even come to mind for me.
Nice to see that workwd out.
Also the innuendo doesnt quite work.
Peh vs. Pee
Ya know?
It's going to be such a tease if this ship doesn't finally launch this story.
C'mon, Twilight, you can do it.
9079276
What?
Peh? Pee? What?
9079314
9079319
Oh. That.
I'll keep what really went on there to myself.
Now we're getting to the nub of the issue. Twilight cannot rule a healthy kingdom until she herself is healthy.
9079326
Well now i feel stupid. What went on there?
9079377
Pinkie Pie corrected herself mid-word and then played it straight.
