The Best Cupcake Ever
~ The Best Cupcake Ever ~
A MLP:FiM fanfiction by Ink Swirl
The oven in Sugarcube Corner's kitchen made a cheerful ding sound, causing far more delight in a certain pink mare than should be feasibly possible. She bounced over to the oven, pulled open it's door, and, making sure to use a potholder this time so as not to have a repeat of her past two attempts, gripped the tray firmly in her mouth, dragging it out of the oven and onto the counter-top.
Grabbing a tube of frosting with a hoof somehow, Pinkie quickly covered the confectionery she had created with violet frosting, before repeating the process with six more tubes, creating a small mountain of rainbow-colored sugar atop the cupcake. A small dusting of sprinkles later, she impaled the treat with a small stick, which had a tip that was constantly sparkling. If this didn't get Rainbow Dash out of her funk after the whole pasta incident, nothing would!
She smiled proudly. This was, without a doubt, the best cupcake ever!
...That had been made in the past week, anyway. Not counting the one she made for Berry Punch's intervention a couple days ago. But regardless, it was a marvelous cupcake. Grabbing the tray once more, Pinkie prepared to carry it over to Fluttershy's house, where Rainbow was staying while her home was repaired from damages caused by the recent fire.
But, unfortunately, she never got further than preparing, as the cupcake promptly slid off the tray, and began it's descent floorward.
It was a horrifying incident; the cupcake (somehow managing to fall in slow motion), impacted the floor with a loud thud that echoed throughout the kitchen. Sprinkles were scattered everywhere. Frosting spread all across the floor. Pinkie, face frozen in horror, knelt down (somehow) to the cupcake.
"No...nooo!" She cried, tears welling up in her eyes.
"P-Pinkie...don't be...s-sad..."
"Who said that?" Pinkie said, glancing around the kitchen, a bit concerned at the sudden mysterious voice.
"It's me. The cupcaaake."
Pinkie blinked.
"I've lived a life that's full, Pinkie," the cupcake said, suddenly developing a deep, powerful voice, "and taken every step...upon the bywaaay..."
"No you haven't."
The cupcake was silent for a moment. "Well, regardless, you shouldn't cry for me. I'm moving on to the big...pantry in the sky. I'll be f-fine."
"N-no! Cupcake!" Pinkie said, her voice trembling, "I think I can still salvage you!"
"Agh...everything's...going dark..."
"Whatever you do, don't move into any oncoming trains!" Pinkie said, desperately searching for some utensil that could solve this conundrum.
"W-what? Oh look, t-there's a light..."
"No! C-cupcake!"
"Goodbye, Pinkie. In the few moments between oven and floor...I had a wonderful life..."
"No!"
A thick silence permeated the kitchen.
"NOOOOOOO!"

In a lonely little graveyard, just outside of Ponyville, Cupcake's casket was buried by two black-and-grey stallions. The collective Elements of Harmony stood in attendance, clad in black.
Applejack groaned, putting her hat back on. "Third buckin' time this week..."

I'm scared... oh, and first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nevermind..... oh, and second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dramatic, eh? God that cupcake sounds so good now. Damn Diabeetus!
Me: ...This was the most tragic thing ever... My Little Dashie is nothing compared to the sadness that is this Fic.
Twilight:
Cool story bro
the dying cupcake part was uh
cool the ending was hilarious when she cursed
Holy fuck man, that was deep.
Fav'd for Applejack's remark on the end...
196706
I know, right?
i2.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/002/796/447px-Manlytears3.jpg
Why does this remind me of a parody sketch to some degree?
How 'bout you Skippy?
196743
Hell yeah man. I don't think anything I've ever read has cast me into such deep thoughts.
196873
Damn straight.
When I first saw it I was like: "Fuck... another 500 words, badly done story that leads nowhere."
I'm glad this didn't turn out like that!
197036
Well, thank you!
I honestly wasn't sure if it would get past moderation due to it's length, or get anything resembling a good reception, but obviously it did both of those, so further
I can actually see this happening in the show O.O
So true.
Good day.
Well then...
Wat.
(R.I.P. Cupcake, shall he [she] be forever praised in the pantry in the sky.)

TEARS EVERYWHERE
Trololololololol~!
Hahahaha, that was funny as hell with AppleJack's remark! Gotta be a good friend and pay respects for the dead
I lol'd! I really did! TOTALLY A 5 STAR STORY!
My pony's name is Cupcake D:
It's so simple
It's so clear
It's everything a story needs to be! The story was cleanly written, had sparse bits of comedy and sadness (making it a dramady), and was in genuine a compelling tale. I for one am blown away by the emotional effect that this story has delivered in such short word span. I will never look of cupcakes the same way ever again.
You have earned all my stars!
In respect of the cupcake, I wrote a haiku.
Labour of love,
Child born from dough,
Death claims it's moist victim.
But seriously, loved the story.
197222
Oh. Sorry about that.
197227
I honestly thought I might've rushed certain bits, but it's good to know you enjoyed it nonetheless :D
197232
Best haiku ever.
197232
Umm... I don't believe you realize what a haiku is (5,7,5)
Here's an example:
Cupcake, oh, cupcake
How it fills Pinkie with glee,
Death took it early
Good short story though
This story is just so tragic for a sweet sensation to be gone in minutes....
Great story! ;)
197262
I was under the impression haikus weren't supposed to rhyme?
197253 Here's a small poem for your cupcake:
Clad in rainbow,
Made of fresh dough,
Staying true to the show,
This story had good flow!
And now, here I go,
From school to home I go,
With a lovely story in tow,
And- thump Ahh, Fuck! I stubbed my toe!
197280
They don't. Mine just happened. But they do need three lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.
I'm sorry.
197284
I approve
197306
Ah, nothing to worry about. I just regularly assume that haikus are more complex than they probably actually are.
DIE CUPCAKE!
manly tears have been shed
I have a friend who has invented a pony called Ink Swirl. You wouldn't by any chance be her would you?
197478
Nope, I'm a guy.
Funnily enough, there's at least two people on Ponychan with similar names, and yet I only found out about them well after I started using this username on various sites XP
lolol
I understand now.
The simplicity of life, it comes and goes, and there's nothing we can do about it. A life may have been lost today, but that doesn't matter to most people, because tomorrow another life will be lost.
Nothing matters anymore. I came to the realisation that we are all delicious cupcakes
197565
In that case, does that mean a good majority of the population are cannibals?
At first I was crying. Then Applejack spoke. I lold so hard

My expression is closest to Appleward's right now...
197584 Aren't we all? *Takes a bite out of a cupcake*
Oh cupcake of Pinkie's,
Forever will you be missed.
To you, I salute.
and across the cup cake's tomb stone read
"CATCH YOU LATER MOTHAFUCKAS!!!!"
that is all
kthanxbai
You... you bastard! Why?! WHY did poor Cupcake have to die?!
Forget manly tears, I'm in floods over here.
Seriously though, that was great, the best short comedy I've read in ages. Keep it up :D
You're so meta man... wooooooooooo deep..... tears....
All the mantears shed at the ending! Your death will not be in vain, cupcake!
"If this didn't get Rainbow Dash out of her funk after the whole pasta incident, nothing would!"
Oh god. That immediately made me think of that fanfic. THAT fanfic..
It's called Cloppy Pasta, by the way. You should read it.
