Butter Cream is a short earth pony who would like nothing more than to bake all day. His snobby boss, Golden Hope, runs Manehatten's finest restaurant and bakery, and enjoys teasing and harassing him in the kitchen.

Just as Golden Hope's harassment begins to come to a head, he meets a tall, handsome stallion in the restaurant and falls in love. When the object of his affection, Mocha Caramel, breaks up with his now-ex-boyfriend, he begins to return Butter Cream's affection, and simultaneously causes his ex to direct his ire toward the small pony.

Butter Cream, suddenly finding himself pressured on two fronts, works to keep his new relationship together while keeping his job. But will the Manehatten snob and the angry ex succeed in breaking Butter Cream's resolve, and will he and Mocha Caramel enjoy a happy ending?
