Okay, this is cute. :twilightsmile:

Just one minor issue: Your dialogue punctuation is almost right, in that you are ending characters' dialogue with commas instead of periods and treating dialogue-plus-dialogue-tag as a single sentence, which is exactly what you're supposed to do. (Yay! :yay: ) However:

"Thank you all for coming here today," She said, smiling to her friends, "and thank you, Sweetie Belle, for joining in."
"I want that, with extra sprinkles!" She cheerfully declared as Rarity wrapped her foreleg around her.

when you have dialogue followed by a dialogue tag, do not capitalize the first word outside the closing quote unless it's someone's name, or the pronoun "I" (which is always capital, of course). If it's a pronoun ("he", "she", etc.), or an attribution like "the waiter", it doesn't get capitalized:

"Thank you all for coming here today," she said, smiling to her friends, "and thank you, Sweetie Belle, for joining in."
"I want that, with extra sprinkles!" she cheerfully declared as Rarity wrapped her foreleg around her.

Aside from the lack of spacing, and other minor grammar issues, this was a rather, if you'll excuse the pun, "sweet" fic. :rainbowkiss:

4428073 Thank you, I always forget that part of grammar. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

4432244 Yeah, that was intentional as well.

Okay that was cute. :twilightsheepish:
