Just a nice, polite Canadian.
For years, Twilight Sparkle has kept track of how little both Princess Celestia and Luna eat.
A small slice of cake here. A single cup of tea there. So what really keeps the Princesses going from day to day?
And is Twilight Sparkle truly prepared to unearth such facts?

This is brilliant! What a tasty morsel of a story!
Amazing!
I would love to have a sequel little adventure story for both Celestia and Luna in food town having fun and awesome sweet moments.
*snerks* I feel bad laughing, but the poor Architect. I do love his place names though.
Beautiful.
That was a rather fun story. Short, but quite amusing.
Although, I have to wonder if Pinkie is up to the task of working upwards of 8-12 hours a day on entire food "towns" and seeing it destroyed every single day for the rest of her life.
I kinda want to see Cupcake Kingdom from Pinkie's perspective.

It's Pinkie. She probably has food towns stashed all over Equestria in case of food town emergencies.
One nitpick, since when do ponies eat meat? The jello and gummy worms both require animals that are considered sentient in this world to be killed for their cartilage. Maybe that's the real reason the architect is so sad, he has to kill citizens of Equestria just to satisfy the morbid appetite of the ruling class.
They eat the tiny food, then grow back again, still full?
Can’t they just enlarge the food if it works like that?
Answer: No, because it wouldn’t be as fun.
Man how do you come up with these ideas lol. Still awsome cant wait to read more.
But wouldn't the food contain the same amount of energy even if the sisters are small? So this would accomplish nothing more than them simply eating a tiny candy town.
Yeah, ok. Nitpicks and realism aside, I really enjoyed the sweetness of this one.
Sequel please.
cute
I laughed harder than I should have...
Awww yeah, 100th like!

I think she would be more annoyed by not being invited to join in on the feasting.
I love stories that take a silly idea and just run with it. I had no absolutely idea where this was going until the unveiling of Tasty Town. Leaving all issues of conservation-of-mass aside (because magic), this was a lovely fic.

There are vegan substitutes for gelatin, such as agar or pectin. Vegan jello and gummy candies do exist, so no Equestrians were (necessarily) harmed in the making of Tasty Town.
This Food Architect reminds me greatly of the guy in the Toriko series who designs theme parks made out of candy, and Toriko's constantly-eaten-and-replaced candy house. ... His theme's supposed to be smiles but he's just so... dead inside that he can't. Much thanks to Toriko eating his beautiful creations almost immediately after hours of building them.

Something something MAGICAL law of conservation of MAGICAL energy something something.

It would also be a much, much larger mess afterwards.
What the floppy pancakes?!
I have never known I needed something so fiercely in my life up until the moment I got it.
Brilliant.
A food artist (ok ok, architect) who doesn't delight in seeing his work spread cheer when devoured? No wonder he's dead inside, he's been living a lie. A Sisyphean existence as his true talents are wasted on a path chosen by his lineage, rather than his desires.
8559970
Well obviously. They'd use Saddle Arabians for gelatin, surely.
Ok....who WOULDNT do this if given the chance?
huh, neat
What a wonderful bit of randomness. Though I do feel a bit of pity for the Architect. I imagine would be entertaining watching your food towns being eaten with reckless abandon a few times. But day after day, year after year? Yes, Twilight is right to see about retiring him before he loses even more hope and sleep.
My favorite:
Hilarious, slightly dark, and unnecessarily makes a working headcanon out of a silly incidental thing.
This COULD be used in the series, but I don't see why there would be only ONE food architect at a time.
Er, I get that Celestia and Luna need that much food to function and that having one's work destroyed like that would be soul-crushing, but I can think of three alternatives off the top of my head:
Firstly, they could let him make a few towns in advance so he can have holidays to recover (if they can shrink themselves, they can probably find a way to preserve the food or keep it in stasis).
Secondly, they could have multiple architects either working together each day or trading off on different days, or even different weeks or months as the previous idea.
Or thirdly, and most obviously, they could... not have all the food shaped into a replica town/location and instead just eat the damn food as food. It might be a little less interesting every night, but it's better than forcing one of your subjects to become dead inside. Heck, you could even have a food-creation once a week if you really can't bear to go without. Honestly, unless there's a reason these meals have to be made into towns every day, this just makes the princesses look like horrible people.
”desolation of Tasty Town” is an absolutely delicious line, just like this story. Nice work!
8560616 Maybe they do that instead of DEVOURING AN ACTUAL TOWN!! Yes, these are OLD GODS!!! And they crave SOULS!!!

Overthinking this a bit much?
I dont even know how to feel about this story. It's clever, it's unique, but the ending doesn't exactly satisfy. I don't know how to quantify this story. It's certainly not "Bad", but I wouldn't exactly call it "Good", nor would I call it "Decent".
Still it was a good read, and I hope for some more insanity from you in the future!
i couldn't help but read this with celestia and luna using tiny helium filled voices
But wouldn't they be hungry again when they go back to normal size? The food wouldn't grow with them.
8561087
that actually depends on if they are allowed to digest or how efficient their digestive tract is
Are you sure they don't just consume the soul of the food architect, peice by peice? And only have the food towns to keep up appearances.

Not really. The mass of food taken in would be the same. The chemical energy, ATP, wouldn't duplicate.
8561087
Says who?
8560895
Overthinking? Moi? How dare you suggest such a notion!
I'm just applying analytical thought to this story about six-inch-tall, magical horses eating settlements made of food to power their abilities to move celestial bodies.
And if that's overthinking things then I'm overthinking, but I don't know could possibly be more sensible!

The foods wouldn't change size when the ponies were to change size because they weren't shrunk. Therefore the components wouldn't change either.
8561297
Depends on the mechanism.
If the shrinking is maintained, and they revert when the spell ends, you're right.
If the shrinking is a "cast once, the change is done" type thing, and then they cast a separate "Grow big" spell to return to normal size, then the food WOULD grow.
There's also the option that "It's within their thaumic field since it's inside their body, so it does grow with them."
Remember, magic is fictional, and we only know a tiny handful of the rules on how it works in MLP. Heck, we don't even know if they CAN shrink / grow things in canon.
But what is a slice of unbuttered toast, but a miserable pile of crumbs one must clean off their garments? A travesty to be sure, but one which exists in this tale you created.
In other words, enjoyable story.
Godspeed.
8559795
What are you talking about? That would be MORE fun!
A very delicious story. Few
moments if you think about it, as have been pointed out, but still very fun.
God damn it now I have an insane craving for cake.

As a longtime gamer, and a fan of Castlevania : Symphony of the Night in particular, that sentence made me twitch and I think you know why
does the present architect not have a wife or kids?
8562899 Are you kidding? Creating a literal entire micro-town made of tasty and edible foods every night, and you think that he has time for a wife and a kid/kids?
