You open the door and enter the room on the other side.
Along the counter at the center of the room are cakes, tall to short and all different colors, as well as muffins and delicious looking cupcakes that make your mouth water with a strong desire to consume everything at once. Once particular cake that catches your eye is a green one that surpasses all the others in height and width, a design of Ponyville’s map—every single river and attraction accurately represented—drawn along the circumferential surface of the cake. You have to admit, it’s really impressive what Pinkie had managed to pull off. In fact, captivated by the sight as you are, you fail to realize that you and Pinkie are currently the only ones in the bakery.
“Heh, sorry, we’re not going to be taste testing that,” Pinkie says with a giggle. “As efficient of a baker as I may be, that cake would take waaaay too long to bake again. Besides, we’re not here to try the cakes.”
You cock an eyebrow in confusion. Almost everything here is cakes, so what exactly will there be to taste test?
As the question crosses your mind, Pinkie approaches the counter and snatches a cupcake from the small bunch beside one of the tinier cakes. Its base is a light brown while the frosting on top is white and sprinkled with flakes of coconut: your favorite.
“Here ya go!” Pinkie says in an adorable high-pitched squeak, handing the cupcake over to you. “It’s my first time trying out a coconut recipe, and since I know how much you love coconut, I can’t think of anyone else to give me an opinion of it. I made this one just before you got here to make sure these would be good for the party later. Come on, try it! Try it!!”
Your eyes fall on the cupcake in your hoof. It looks delicious, you can’t lie. Though, you have your doubts about all of this, especially Pinkie’s intent on urging you to eat it. Looking back up at the pink mare, you see her wearing a wide, elated grin as her eyes stare, sparkling, unblinking, and impatient.
You look at the cupcake again, its creamy, milky deliciousness sitting on your hoof open to be consumed. You bring it up to your mouth…
