Pan Sizzle is a baker of great prestige. Hoping to perfect his latest culinary confection; maple hay bacon cupcakes, he travels to Ponyville, where a true master of all things confectionary might be able to help. Pinkie Pie, being Pinkie Pie, gets a bit over excited about the idea of a new cupcake flavor, and accidentally douses the poor stallion in a strange plant called Shrinking Violet. Things just get weirder from there.
