Every year, Ponyville hosts a five-day long fair to celebrate the traditions of the small town. Music, carnival rides, and games never fail to impress visitors from all over Equestria, but the highlight of the fair is always the food. Delicious delicacies like fried dough and homemade ice cream really make the fair special.
Nothing better exemplifies this food than the Great Ponyville Bake-Off, a competition to see who is the best baker in town. The winner is always met with high regard and gets bragging rights for a year, while their places of business see a boost in customers.
Pinkie Pie and Applejack, two consistent top contenders, always pull out all the stops to outdo each other in the competition. For the past six years, the record between them stands at 3-3.
But with royalty serving as judges this year, the stakes have been raised. The winner of the competition will not only be known as Ponyville's best baker, but they'll also be recognized throughout Equestria as exquisite connoisseurs of baked goods.
With so much on the line, Pinkie Pie and Applejack are willing to do whatever it takes to win. How far will they go to taste sweet victory, and will their friendship survive the competition?
