[My Little Pony] Hearth's Warming Treats

A Sweet Ending

Mr. and Mrs. Cake just stood there, frozen with their mouths gaped wide open with bags and bags of candy Holly bows next to them.

"Um, we can explain!" Twilight quickly shouted.

"What in Equestria...?" started Mrs. Cake.

"Oh no, did the oven malfunction again? That's the second time this week!" exclaimed Mr. Cake.

"No, no. It's me. I ate all the holiday cakes for the party, and I feel awful about it. On the bright side, they were the best things I've ever tasted!" Pinkie apologized, smiling crookedly.

Mr. Cake just face-hoofed himself.

"Oh Pinkie! You know as well we don't have time to make another few hundred cakes! Now this place is messy, the decorations all have stains on them, and all the cakes are eaten!" Mrs. Cake shouted, with the same horrified look that Twilight had worn.

Twilight stopped hovering over Pinkie's shoulder and approached the bags of holly bows.

"What are you going to do with these now?" Twilight asked, curiously.

"Well, we were going to use it for the cake toppings, but that's a dead option now." Mr. Cake said.

Pinkie just looked down in shame, but then looked back up, a small spark was glistening in her eyes.

"Hey! We have four ponies, and we have an hour to fix things! I say we make as many cakes as possible!" Pinkie exclaimed.

Twilight just smiled at Pinkie's optimism, just admiring her happy spirit.

"It might not work, but by all means, we can give it a shot." Mr. Cake replied, shrugging slightly.

"Twi and I, teehee! That rhymes! Anyway, we will get the ingredients ready." Pinkie instructed.

"We'll just get out necessary utensils and materials." Mrs. Cake added.

It's settled then. Let's go!" Twilight said, signaling for everypony to start gathering the essential items to make the cakes.

Twilight and Pinkie rushed to where the fridge and pantry was. Twilight looked over the list, reading out ingredients while Pinkie fetched them.

"Um, milk!" Twilight called.

Pinkie rushed to the fridge, found the milk carton, and threw it behind her shoulder. Miraculously, it landed, undamaged, on the counter. Twilight, who hadn't noticed this, kept calling out ingredients, not letting her eyes wander.

"Eggs!" Twilight shouted.

Pinkie once again dig through the fridge, found the egg carton, and threw it behind her shoulder. And miraculously again, it landed on the counter, not a single egg cracked or dented in any way. But as before, Twilight still didn't notice.

In a couple minutes, they both had gathered every ingredient they needed.

"There! We got... them all out!" Twilight panted.

"How come you're panting? I was the one running back and forth to get ingredients." Pinkie observed.

Twilight just glared at her in exhaustion.

"It's my voice! Never mind that, we have to get started!" Twilight said, grabbing the recipe paper with her hoof.

"Okay, it says we need two eggs..." Twilight started, her eyes reading over the ingredients.

Pinkie quickly opened the egg carton, cracking two of the eggs into the mixing bowl Mrs. Cake set out for them.

"...two cups and a half of flour..." Twilight continued.
