Sickly Sweet

Just another, glorious day at Ponyville was passing by, just like any other day as always. And what's even better, is that Sugarcube Corner is having a huge dessert banquet today, which is said to start around 3pm this afternoon. At this very moment, it is only noon and the cakes are ready to get baking for the banquet. So far everyone has an assignment, courtesy of Mrs. Cake. "All right, let's go through this again; Mr.. Cake will take care of the Vanilla Cake, Special Strawberry Cake, Lemon Cake, his special carrot cake and most of all... the *Equestrian Chocolate Cake*. Which is said to be the most, delectable, moist and mouthwatering cake in all of Equestria."

"My, my, sure sounds like I got my work cut out for me." Said Mr. Cake as he let out a nervous laugh.

"And Pinkie Pie, you'll do--"Before she could even finish what she needed Pinkie to do, she was thinking on what she could do. She even looks at the list to see what desserts can she make. "Um, what should you do?"

But Pinkie Pie has already decided on what she's going to do and tells her; "Oh, don't worry Mrs. Cake. Me and Applejack are going to take care of the Cupcakes."

"You and... Applejack?" Said Mrs. Cake.

"Yup Yup!" Replied Pinkie Pie as she smiled at Mrs. Cake.

"Well, where is Applejack, dear?" Question Mrs. Cake in a tone of confusion and her face filled with worry.

And then out of nowhere, there was clatter happening at the front doors and with that... a brightly orange, blonde-headed mare wearing a cowboy hat, shows up with a bag of ingredients. And boy howdy, she was excited to volunteer to help out with the banquet. "I'm right here, Mrs. Cake. And I brought some extra ingredients to make those batch of cupcakes"

"That's right, Mrs. Cake. Me and Applejack are going to take care of the cupcakes, we even have an idea what type of cupcakes we intend to make!" Said Pinkie Pie.

"You do?" Mrs. Cake asked curiously.

"Yes Ma'am." Answered Applejack. "We're going to make *golden yellow cupcakes. With **chocolate/vanilla combo filling, and individual frosting with sprinkles."* She added.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake were surprised and they were very excited to know that the girls have come up with something that sounds incredibly delectable. So Mrs. Cake puts all her faith onto Pinkie and Applejack that they can make these golden yellow cupcakes in the nick of time and that they'll taste even better than they sound. "All right, very well then. I'll leave you girls with the cupcakes." Said Mrs. Cake.

"Who knows, I might even try one before the banquet begins, just to see if they taste exactly as you describe them." Said Mr. Cake with a huge smile on his face, hoping that he'll get his hands on one of them.

"We won't let you down, Mrs. Cake. And don't worry, there'll be plenty for everypony to enjoy." Said Pinkie with total confidence.

After that, the girls went to go get started on making those cupcakes, Applejack hopes that she's got enough ingredients to make as much as possible for the big banquet this afternoon, after all everypony is coming to it and they'll be getting a hoof ful... and a mouthful of sweet delectables. Plus, they have about two hours to make all of the golden yellow cupcakes. So the girls get out all of the ingredients and the kitchen utensils, in order to get started baking those cupcakes. Pinkie Pie was very excited and ready to get baking, she even turns to Applejack to see if she was ready to bake as well.

"So Applejack, are you ready to get baking or what?!" She asks with total excitement.

Applejack quickly turns to Pinkie and replies; "Are you kidding, if I can buck a bunch of apple trees in a day, I can sure bake a lot of cupcakes in two hours. And plus with your help, this'll be a cinch."

"HOORAY TEAMWORK!" Yelled out Pinkie Pie. Then after she yelled, she and Applejack both do a hoof bump and start to get baking. All right, Pinkie. Let's get to work.
