Sunset Shimmer, now 21 but still stuck in a dead-end sales job knocking on doors for a cake company, has put up with plenty in her years on the road. Drenching rain, clueless managers, hyenas... it's probably surprising she hasn't run into this problem before. A bit of silly fluff for Sunset Shimmer Day.

Confectioner's Code of Conduct:rainbowwild:
That line made this story worthwhile. Mr Klopp was a good one too.
Though I don't see Sunset selling cakes in our world when she could be the powerful protégé of a god queen in another.

7585343 Thanks for reading! :twilightsmile: Yeah, like I said, this is just silly fluff. The idea came into my head, and I wrote down a few paragraphs just for my own enjoyment. Then I realised I'd gone well past 1,000 words and thought it would be fun to post it on Fimfiction, in case anyone else out there was after some really stupid Sunset Shimmer fic. The fact that I finished it today was just a nice coincidence. Anyone reading this and expecting to find a beautifully crafted piece of thought-provoking prose is going to be severely disappointed. :rainbowwild:

Well, that was delightfully silly. Though I give Sunset at most another year of putting up with this before she starts begging to go back to Equestria.

...just to do "cake" research there. :pinkiehappy:

This was good! Will there be a sequel

Thanks! :twilightsmile: It's the first (full-length) fic I've published in ages, so I'm mostly just happy to have broken that block. As for Sunset, I think it's only her own bloody-mindedness that's keeping her going as it is.

You'll note that Pinkie isn't involved in this story. My headcanon (can you have headcanon for your own fics? :rainbowwild:) is that Lyra's company was formed after she had a row with Pinkie about something...

Thanks! :twilightsmile: No sequel planned, as it's just a bit of silliness and I'm already working on other stories. Who knows, though -- one day I may feel like writing more about Sunset's travails in the sales industry...
