Behind the Corner

Prologue

If you ever visit Ponyville, drop by the Sugarcube Corner. It's a cozy bakery, which looks like a little home made out of sweets. Inside you will be warmly greeted by the Cake family and the savory smell of freshly baked goods right out of the oven. However, there is still more to enjoy, the hosts offer many kind services for the sweet tooth, not only a pony can buy a wide range of absolutely delicious treats, but one may also sit at a table and enjoy a cup of tea with some derpy-good muffins or if it is one of those special occasions a celebration may be in order. There are rumors that it is simply impossible not to have a party at Sugarcube Corner, it may be because of some powerful magic this place possesses or the undeniable charm of the Cakes, but still we may never find the secret behind this.

One of the many mysteries surrounding it is its name “Sugarcube Corner”. Once a keen eye had observed that there was something very wrong about it. Apart from the house being made of sweets, which is as scary as the most horrifying things in this world, which you should never ever dare to approach (like clowns or dentists, for example), it also has one specific characteristic. The bakery is not actually located in a corner – a pony can easily walk around the whole building without obstacles of any kind. This brings to the point that there might be a possibility that the name of the bakery has a completely different meaning. Who knows – maybe even the word “Sugarcube” is deceptive.
