AppleCake

Everything has gotten to me safely, haha I can't believe I got the backpack, but it'll be awesome to drag that thing around to my first ever brony meet.

Thanks so so much

Other than buying some ponies on rare occasion (FiM ones are not that common here it appears) I don't generally show or let others know I like the show. Of course there's the internet, and I'm also part of the cosplay scene, which is more widely accepting of bronies. So my friends and internet friends know, most of them are cool with it.

But my parents are being rather odd about it, it's not even on TV here, but I'm the kind of person who sometimes likes to discuss the things he likes, my mother's reaction was more or less good, but it took her a while to let it sink in really. So that was a awkward conversation right then. She's cool with it tho, she's used to weirder things.

I did once make the mistake of telling my 10/11 year old cousin, the type of girls that generally adores all things pink and cute, but she basically declared me insane. I laughed it off, since the only reason I told her was because I happened to have something of it open on the computer.

Since then I keep it to myself when it concerns anyone who's not a friend of mine trough a tolerate fandom. Although I will be joining a Brony meet-up sometime soon, with bronies who have a lot more guts than I do to show their fandom love.

I put a lot of work into the back story, thinking it would add a little more to the entire entry.

You have no idea the size of the smile this comment just gave me, I am really happy to hear you enjoyed it.

So thank you < 3

Ohmai, you are one of the most adorable Madoka's I've seen. I especially love what you did with the bow too.

I'll post a popular photo of mine, Gamzee Makara of homestuck at Desucon, Finland.

This photo here tho, shows the entire outfit despite the fact that I sit.

Woa, dear that is an amazing picture you made up there.

I do love how you mixed one of the mane six with a background character, very creative thinking.

I think she's pretty obvious in her design for that pair though, the tail especially gives it away.

Nice design c:

Aww I love her coloring, the apple green with magenta eyes very pretty. She sort of has Granny Smith's colors. Maybe a younger Granny Smith. It works.

I hadn't actually thought of that and had to check up on Granny Smith to be sure. Haha she must have been in my subconscious, but with the apple family and her having passed in my story I guess it's a nice fit.

And thank you I'm pretty happy with how it all came out colour wise, it was a big task.

OMG so cute!! the altogether pic is beautiful x3

jkfhd why thank you kindly :heart:

Aaaw thank you!

It makes me so happy you think so.

I am warning you guys, this is a very long thing to get trough. And on a side note, I'll keep updating this thing with drawings every now and then I guess. On a side note, colours might vary depending on your computer screen.

    Name: Apple Racer

    Sex: Girl.

    Age: Filly.

    Species: Earth pony.

    Pelt Color: Lime green.

    Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: She has a very thick short cut green-ish yellow mane, while maintained to be clean and somewhat style-full, it's not what you'd call well kept. Her tail is partly tied by a rainbow colored ribbon (a gift of Rainbow Dash to her) starting from her flank. This is to make it easier for her to avoid getting her tail tangled up around her hind legs while running.

    Eye Color: Her eyes are the same strong rose color as Rainbow Dash's, one of the few things that confirm she is a child of hers as much as she is of Applejack's.

    Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is, as to be expected from a member of the apple family, an apple. A split apple at that, having a lightning bolt ripping right trough it.

    Motivation: Apple Racer wants to do nothing more than to impress her parents. She's set a standard for herself and wants her mothers to see she can live up to that name. She shares a lot of interest with the both of them, making her only more eager to please them. She's stubborn and independent and would like to show she's just as good at things as her parents are. A live dedicated to living up to a name, to make everyone proud, especially herself. You are your own worst critique after all.

    Likes: Apple Racer first and foremost enjoys running, running fast at that as her name suggest. She's a little race car in the form of a pony. She also enjoys it whenever Dash can fly her around, and she adores being in the apple orchard. She loves apples almost as much as AJ does. She also enjoys causing a bit of trouble, showing others who's boss when they ask for a good bucking and competitions.

    Dislikes: Something Apple Racer isn't good at and hates is sitting still or being quiet for a extended period of time. She's a energetic little filly, so restricting her to doing anything but 'sit and listen' is a pain. She's also a sore loser, hates being bored and having nothing to do. And maybe most of all she dislikes it when she's told she can't do something when all she wants to do is proof she can.

    Character Summary:

There's a lot of things magic can't do.

There's a lot of things ponies simply assume that magic can't do.

But there are so many things that magic can make possible when you set your mind to it. Things everypony would think impossible.

Creating a little filly out of pretty much nothing, is one of them.

Most ponies consider it odd, even if they believed this could be done trough magic. A couple of fillyfoolers could just as easily adopt a little filly of their own if they wished to be parents so much. Yet two ponies with the right ties had other plans. Having one of their own was, in more ways than one, of big importance. Being able to pass on the blood line, being able to pass on their heritage directly and with some luck, they could also pass on their passions and a bit of their personalities.

The idea behind having a filly who what both of the ponies represented as individual was what mattered, to feel you truly had something that belonged to only the two of them, together.

Things began the way how it always begins when you like somepony. There's butterflies in your stomach whenever you see the one you like. They're the first pony you think of when you get up and the last pony to think of when you fall asleep.

The adventures of Twilight and her friends had began to lessen over the years, and every pony was able to settle down into a more calm life, able to focus on their dreams without to many interruptions so to speak. Those adventures might have been the peek of their lives, but they remained good friends and still saw each other regularly.

Now Rainbow Dash was someone most everypony considered a fillyfooler. Even if she wasn't, and she had always thought she wasn't, that rainbow mane of her did her little favor on the subject. Often had she gotten into fights with others if they crossed the line about it and still, it hadn't mattered. But there comes a time in in your life when you begin to notice these things about yourself a little more, things where no different for the blue pony either. Things, in terms of action packed adventures, had long since died down for the six friends. It gave Rainbow Dash more time to stay up in the sky and practice her tricks, furiously training to be a part of the wonder bolts.

There is only so much training you can do to ignore the crippling loneliness. Whenever that played up, Dash would visit Ponyville, and found herself drawn to the same spot each time. The apple orchard of Sweet Apple Acres. Dash would usually fly down to a tree, and settle on one of the thickest branches she could find, watching whatever what was happening on the ground below. It all depended on the season and the time of day.

For the first few days of Rainbow Dash suddenly appearing whenever, the orange earth pony hadn't noticed, being busy inspecting her trees a bit further away and making sure they'd all grow well. Dash felt herself drawn more to her friend. She and Applejack had always got along well, having a lot in common with their friendly rivalries. But Applejack understood the pegasus on a level no one else seemed to. This had confused Dash for the longest time as her feelings grew. She wasn't really a fillyfooler, was she?

Applejack had caught her flying down to the orchard one day, happily greeting her friend before she touched down. AJ herself had been busy doing a early round of apple bucking during their encounter. She noticed her friend seemed a little off in her acting, urging her to speak her mind. She could tell when the other mare was bothered, and she wouldn't stand for her keeping secrets.

It took a while, but Rainbow Dash managed to spill the beans after having spend the entire day with Applejack. Things started pretty rough with AJ's first reply being “Oh, uh... Sugercube, that's mighty flatterin' and all...†and the rest was history. Of course Dash felt a little rejected hearing that and tuned out. Things however did not go downhill as she had expected. She'd still visit from time to time and noticed the change that was taking place.

Slowly, but surely, the two grew closer. It took a couple of weeks, but Applejack returned the feelings. She was still unsure, but she felt it to be the right choice, not only for Dash, but for herself.

Both ponies still had their own lives to tend to, Applejack having more responsibilities than the pegasus who she was now a couple with. She would often wonder if this was how things would stay, only meeting up at the random moments whenever the other felt like flying in. AJ wasn't a big fan of this behavior and convinced Dash to come by more often, a lot more often. It seemed that that was the encouragement the pegasus needed.

Their relationship grew deeper and more intimate than ever before, pulling the two ponies closer as the years went by. Their young adult life was much like it had always been, revolving around meeting up with their friends, work and chasing dreams, but this time doing that together. They had everything they could want, everything, but a foal they could call their own.

Granny Smith sadly was no longer, Big Macintosh had found a mare he loved. With her, he settled down elsewhere to start a orchard of his own and have a family. And then there was Apple Bloom, she still lived in the big house on Sweet Apple Acres like she always had, still sharing it with her older Sister and now also her sister-in-law. It wasn't surprising a pony her age did spend most her time outside with her friends, only home to help her sister and their other workers during bucking season.

It might have been the silence combined with a big empty house that sparked to life the wish to have a foal. Both ponies being of proper age and very much in love. Their wish was a burden to bear for the longest time as Dash and AJ tried to figure out how they wanted to approach the entire thing.

Hadn't it been for the topic flaring up around Twilight Sparkle, then they might have still had their issue going.

Twilight knew of a combination of spells that could help them fulfill their wishes, in every way they had wanted it. It was a idea no pony seemed to think about in this day of age. The couple however was glad to have heard of the suggestion, it would bring them immense happiness. They had all agreed to it, beginning their preparations.

It was on Sweet Apple Acres where the spells got cast, a combination of a duplication spell, a fusion spell and a old spell Twilight had been studying. It was a spell she had learned trough Zecora, one that would be able to give and maintain life as long as there was a form. With these three spells combined, it was where, in a sense, a small foal belonging to Applejack and Rainbow Dash was born. She was more or less a copy of the two mares, a product of spells merged together. It had taken immense energy from all three ponies to make this come true. It had worked perfectly fine judging from the healthy little foal at their hooves. The couple now had a foal of their own, one who despite being created trough magic, was related to the two completely.

The lime green foal managed to take more after Applejack than Rainbow Dash in her looks, much to Rainbow's disappointment, but she didn't love their foal any less because of this. Much in the way that the little one is a mix of the two ponies, her name is too. They named her Apple Racer. It is tradition in the Apple family to name of their own after anything to do with apples, and Dash felt she needed to share her ability of speed, hoping that the name would stand for her special talent.

Apple Racer's looks resembled Applejack the most, while her personality was closer to Dash's. A near perfect mix in that sense. Being a earth pony meant she had no choice but to stay on the ground, living elsewhere wasn't an option. So she grew up on their little farm, learning the tools of the trade. AJ and Dash loved her very much and seemed to be pretty protective of her during her youth. Don't get that wrong, Apple Racer was very much let free to explore the world by herself, yet she was shielded from the horrors her parents knew of that lurked out there just as much as she was free. When she was still a little foal, Rainbow Dash would take her for a ride and fly her around Ponyville. Applejack was content with working the fields without distraction from either one. The foal got to socialize a lot because she was shown off so much during those flights. Befriending others wasn't a problem.

When she was old enough, she could spend more time around the orchard, finally getting her bonding time with momma Applejack. The lime green pony was impressed by the strength AJ possessed and she got respect for how difficult but rewarding this work was. It was during this first round around the orchard that the filly truly felt like she was part of the Apple family and that she noticed how much she cared for these trees and their line of work.

The sheer amount of adoration she held for Applejack because of this was simply immense, and for the longest time the little filly had tried to convince both her mothers to let her try out the work. That they couldn't really agree to yet, despite Apple Racer's stubborn attitude.

Apple Racer was extremely stubborn, a trait that she got from both her mothers. How could she let this subject go? She knew she had it in her, she was strong, she was trustworthy! The filly had put a lot of energy into her arguments, eager to prove herself. And still, still they told her she was too young. Her time would come later.

This was difficult for the filly to accept, how could she? She had long since fallen in love with the work, and to be denied the opportunity was, well, unfair! Maybe she could impress her parents in another way.

When she wasn't pulling pranks on her friends or dozing off in school and getting into fights, Apple Racer was found playing around the barn. Rainbow Dash was with her a lot when she played, keeping a eye on the little filly and playing along. Dash noticed soon that her daughter had the same winners mentality like she had. The filly was eager to show of her skills and more eager to show others she could easily win any competition. A cocky little thing with a bad attitude when it came to any game. Dash was honestly proud.

The moment AJ heard of this they took their daughter out a little more, taking her to various events. Anything close to Ponyville would do. A lot of the things excited little Apple Racer, there was so much she wanted to try too, and to know her mothers finally encouraged her in doing something she wanted. This was awesome!

After that Apple Racer was found entering any competition she could. She was known for her winner's mentality and her tendency to, well, cheat if she had too. She was often scolded for it but it changed nothing. The traits in her were strong. That on itself wasn't a big surprise knowing how she came into existence, those things simply transferred themselves onto her.

The filly plunged herself into several activities, varying from rough-housing and wrestling matches to simple games like bowling. Anything that could ensure she'd be active would do. But the one thing she loved most, was racing. Dash has had a hoof in that herself, always bragging about how she was, and is, the fastest flier in Equestria and how she won a ton of competitions. Flying Apple Racer around gave her a taste of the adrenaline kick too. Running was amazing. For a filly with her amount of energy, this was the perfect let out as well.

Her ability to run earned her a job helping with the animals around the farm, like helping tend to some of the sheep that stayed around. Winona was getting a bit old for the job anyway, Applejack figured. It made the filly happy so it was no harm there.

Applejack and Apple Racer did their usual work. Rainbow Dash, still a full member of the weather team had warned them for a small storm being pulled into Ponyville. Some perfect clouds had been hanging nearby so it was a lot easier to get this over with than having to handle the scheduled storm that was planned for a later week. The two earth ponies had began to direct the sheep back to their place in one of the barns to shield them from the horrible weather. The rain had already settled and there was worse about to come. The ponies nudged the sheep into the barn, noticing one was missing during their count. Apple Racer didn't need to think about her actions and ran back into the worsening storm as fast as she could. Applejack called out to her the moment the filly dived headfirst into the nasty weather and was unsuccessful in stopping her daughter. She secured the sheep and set out after her. The filly was running as fast as she could, afraid of the storm and with more concern for the lost sheep. Her mothers would have done the same, she had thought to herself, which was all she needed to do this. After having spend a good amount of time she finally spotted the small sheep, noticing how the lost thing was wandering into a dangerous direction. Kicking her speed up a notch, Apple Racer threw herself at the creature at full speed, grabbing its wool into her mouth, pulling him back as fast she possibly could. The two of them had landed in the mud, but at least the sheep hadn't fallen into the well they had began to build around there.

It should come as no surprise that that was how she got her cutie mark. An excellent combination of her love for speed and the orchard. A honor to her name. Applejack was relieved to find her daughter safe and oh so very proud of what she had done. The orange pony had taken the two to the barn, cleaning the little sheep up first and placing it with his family, before taking Apple Racer to the main house. Rainbow Dash had been there already, as she had just returned from the storm. The two of them couldn't be prouder at this moment. They all right to be proud of Apple Racer. They way she found her special talent was something they could both admire. Dash always thought she'd get her mark by winning a race, but this she hadn't expected, this was much more impressive.

The family celebrated this quietly with just the three of them for that evening. This was the night on which Apple Racer received the ribbon of Rainbow Dash, one that was colored after Dash's own mane. It was a present to say that she'd always be able to carry a bit of her mother with her.

Apple Racer had bragged a lot about her cutie mark to some of her friends afterward, enjoying the attention and admiration she got from every pony. But she never twisted the story, feeling she couldn't exactly lie to her peers.

She is a little older now since she got her cutie mark, old enough to help buck the apple trees much to her delight. She's still pretty mischievous around her friends and at school, but she seems calmer, less competitive than the way she was, before she figured out her special talent. Dash often teasingly calls her the fastest runner in Equestria to rival her own title. Apple Racer glows at the nickname, though she is content by doing the simple work she always did. She is active in race events a lot, and often trains to make sure she never gets out of shape. But to her it's nothing but a hobby. Apple Racer loves being on the farm the most with her parents. It's not her talent but she doesn't care, this is where she feels at home. Apple Racer is a girl who listens to her heart more than her head when it comes to her own well being, and her heart clearly says that being on the farm is the right choice.

Personality:

Apple Racer is a special filly. Not in terms of having something at her disadvantage, more in terms of how she came to be. She was created by magic, spells cast by Twilight Sparkle that copied her mothers, and made those copies as one, with a third spell cast on that form to give it life and keep it stable. It was because of this that Apple Racer is almost the same as her parents. The memories and feelings those duplicates in the spell had, have been erased by the last spell to give her a fair chance at being a mare of her own. But to get rid of other things, such as the deep rooted traits of the two mares, was a near impossible task.

Competitive, proud (if not cocky), honest and loyal are few of the traits that had been difficult to get rid of, the spell had not succeeded in doing that. This marked Apple Racer for who she was, and for who she belonged to. Some things had always been present on the surface, a stubborn sense of pride that the little filly could not shake ever since she was old enough to talk. She took pride in a lot of things, ranging from what she believed she could do, to thinking she knew what was the truth and what not. It was a obnoxious trait in her younger years, one which she luckily gained control over.

The trait that marked AJ and Dash as one of the elements of harmony was strong in their foal as well. Her level of honesty was somewhat shocking for a pony so young. And with it, came bluntness. Apple Racer had difficulties grasping the concept of taking someone else his feelings into consideration, giving her a lot of trouble in the past. The filly never did shy away from saying what was on her mind, feeling sometimes her opinion could not be sugarcoated. Her other trait of loyalty balanced it out, thankfully so, making Apple Racer not half as bad as she could have been. She could not hurt her friends and did not want to lose them. She wanted to stand by them trough thick and thin. She had realized that with a honest tongue, she could not keep that up.

Now of course she isn't a exact copy of her parents. She just got some of their traits stuck in her during her whole creation. Things have changed for her since she was small. She managed to deal with some of the strong traits by the time she had finished her first year at school.

Apple Racer is now a very sporty and competitive girl. She loves to be kept busy and she can't sit still. Ponies whisper among each other that the farm filly is always on the move, racing trough her life. This might be true. Apple Racer takes immense pleasure out of being active physically, but mentally as well. Maybe she isn't the sharpest tool in the box some time, but her competitive streak always urges her to try her very best. Life is a competition that demands nothing but your best effort. She was hoof full, that one, always wanting to be the best at what she did. She knew she was, proving it would not be a problem!

She has calmed down a little since she got her cutie mark, but it has not kept the filly from slowing herself down. Apple Racer is happiest when she can have some friendly competition, and even happier when others are as active as she herself can be. There is a source of energy within her that never seems to run out.

She's a little mischievous when she wants to be, not shying away from pulling a little prank on a unsuspecting pony. Appel Racer knows her boundaries and vows to never take it too far. She's the girl that will light up at the sight of a pony chasing food on a string, or falling for the age old bucket on a door trick. The little things are her greatest amusement. It really doesn't take much to please the filly, unless it comes to serious business. As much as she loves to fool around, there are just some things you don't do around her. Apple Racer has some very strong believes and stands by them unless you have a darn good argument on why her opinion isn't the right one. She has learned to stand her ground and was always told to not buckle down under peer pressure. The best advice she ever got, if she does say so herself. Rough-housing and fighting was often a result of the arguments she gotten herself in to. But the farm filly was always proud of herself no matter the outcome and no matter the trouble she got into.

As said many times before, things had settled down for her after she earned her cutie mark. Apple Racer had worked on many of her 'issues' and gained control over her urges. She wanted to be a nicer pony to her peers. Working on the orchard was a perfect outlet for her immense amount of energy, as was racing. Of course she didn't change completely, she was just easier to handle. Appel Racer still has her moments of weakness and gives in to more negative emotions. Wanting to be strong, she keeps herself from crying. Instead of that, Apple Racer grew a bit of a temper, not able to wear a smile all the time when things got to her. So she's snappy when you strike a sensitive chord within her.

All in all, she has grown up to be a pretty normal pony who has learned to control herself.

Thanks everyone for the very warm welcome

   

    Name: Baked Goods

    Sex: Colt.

    Age: Colt.

    Species: Pegasus pony.

    Pelt Color: A soft peachy color.

    Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: His honey colored mane is a untameable mess. There's some very neat and proper curls here and there, but most it loves to jump out. Straight peaks of hair and half curled ones stuck out into all directions, refusing to stay in model. No matter what they do, they can not style it one way or the other. His tail isn't off a whole lot better. It's been chopped short for easy maintenance, of which the bottom is the only part that wants to curl up nicely, as all of his hair should. He has long since given up on keeping track of it when it comes to styling. His tail is still pretty messy from his last cut.

    Eye Color: A soft gold. Whereas golden eyes are normally bright and vivid, his aren't so much. They do spark with life and the gentle soul that lies behind them is easy to spot.

    Cutie Mark: A piece of bread, or toast depending on how you look at it. Personally he doesn't really care what you call it, he's just happy he's got one. It symbolizes the success he had with baking his very own brand of bread, something he has worked very hard on to achieve.

    Motivation: Being a simple pony, there's not a lot Baked Goods desires. Before his cutie mark, he aimed to bake the best in all of Equestria, to impress his mothers more than anything. Now that he has achieved that, he simply wants to keep doing what he does, bake and sell his bread with all the other goods Sugar cube Corner has to offer ponies. That's it, maybe when he's older he'd like to settle down with a little bakery of his own, but for now he keeps on working hard for the store, and that's good enough for him.

    Likes:

• [*:2i08qy0t]The scent of freshly baked bread/cupcakes/cookies/cakes etc. etc.
  [*:2i08qy0t]Sunrise and sunset, nothing compares to the beauty of a sky painted so red and so orange. Honestly he can lose himself in that.
  [*:2i08qy0t]Exploring and running into new things.
  [*:2i08qy0t]Surprises.
  [*:2i08qy0t]Being inside clouds, unless they're rain clouds.
  [*:2i08qy0t]Laughter and happiness, he's not used to seeing any pony being sad, it devastates his little heart.

    Dislikes:

• [*:2i08qy0t]Seeing others sad, or having them cry. It catches him completely off-guard.
  [*:2i08qy0t]Flying too high or for too long. Yes, he is a pegasus but no, he's not used to flying all too much. Not only does it tire him out, he's not even good at it.
  [*:2i08qy0t]The scent of burned food.
  [*:2i08qy0t]Tripping, which he does way too often for his own good.
  [*:2i08qy0t]Being told to take better care of his mane. Hey, as long as there's no dirt in there and no twigs sticking out, it's fine.

    Character Summary:

Baked Goods has the best and happiest family he could have ever wished for. His mothers, Pinkie Pie and Derpy Hooves have always proved to be excellent, although strange, parents to the young colt that joined their little family. They're both found odd in their own little way by the other ponies in ponyville, Pinkie more than Derpy of course. And many had always believed that their ways might have been too eccentric for the then young foal.

But boy have they all been proved wrong.

Pinkie Pie had taken over the business of Sugar cube Corner from the Cakes not long before their son came into their life. Derpy still delivered mail to ensure extra income and had barely began her moving in with Pinkie. Settling for a life on the ground with a family that was about to grow, was far more convenient than trying to work out how to get Pinkie and their foal in the sky. His parents had planned out everything carefully, counting down the days and making the bakery child proof, with the help of some local fillies of course!

For as long as he could remember Baked Goods has been surrounded by the smell of various cakes, breads and other, well, baked goods. He always assumed his name came from his birth place, the Sugar cube Corner, but maybe the love his mothers share for such goods also had a hoof in their decision.

Being a child of these two meant many things. Getting used to their collective quirks was one for starters. His birth was a enormous celebration, and every birthday that followed was a even bigger party than the last one. Every little accomplishment seemed to deserve a party, it was his parents way of saying 'We're so proud of you!'

Baked Goods himself is a quiet little colt, always has been and always will be. He also posses a enormous amount of patience. Pinkie's randomness is a security blanket for the young pegasus, he grew up with her eternal happiness surrounding him and he loves nothing more but having that around him. He's gotten used to her Pinkie senses and believes he might have inherited that from her.

And of course his other mother Derpy can not be forgotten. The cross-eyed pegasus who doesn't seem to bright (while really she is). To Baked Goods, she is the shoulder to cry on when he needs to. When he needs someone to listen to, he can usually go to her. He loves both of them equally, but there's just some things that one is better at than the other. Derpy often takes him out to teach him how to fly, and he accompanies her during her work. Baked Goods isn't the best flier in Equestria, but he's good enough to keep up with his mother. No, flying isn't his fort. He, much like Fluttershy, prefers to walk and live a life like most earth ponies, aside from the occasional bonding time flying offers him.

Baked Goods is also a terribly clumsy pony who more often than not trips over his own 4 legs. He has a short attention span which contributes to such clumsy behavior. Something bright flying trough the sky? Or is there something shiny stuck in the dirt, or oh oh, there in the lake, something big moved! These are the usual things that grab his attention. He doesn't always think his next step trough and while his eyes have locked onto the object of interest, his body is a little slow to adjust to the same direction. Let's just say that Baked Goods and the ground know each other well by now.

One of the things he truly has in common with his mothers is his love for baking. Living in a bakery does that to a pony. From a young age, he knew he wanted to try his hoof at it himself. Pinkie and Derpy would often have him around in the kitchen, allowing the foal to add some of the little ingredients and give him the super-duper-special job of licking the spoon clean. Everything ranging from a simple cookie to a loaf of bread to a full blown wedding cake was a piece of art. It was obvious that Pinkie was the best at this, and when he was old enough, after one of the many afternoons he had spent baking with the both of them, he got the courage to ask if he could help out in the store itself. To help and bake some of their products.

He wasn't turned down for the job of course. Pinkie attempted to teach him the ways of how to make the perfect cupcake or the perfect pie. No matter how he tried, he never succeeded in making them as heavenly as hers. With Derpy, who helped out on occasion is was much the same story.

Like any pony his age who still didn't have a cutie mark, he was insecure and unsure of himself. For a while, he had given up in order to try new things. Now, Baked Goods is a very curious and imaginative colt, but not when it comes to the simple things like this. All he had known were his mothers, his mothers friends and his classmates. For the longest time, he had attempted to copy their special talents for as far as he could, but all to no success. He felt no joy in what he tried and he never did really well.

Defeated he picked up on baking again, determent to try out something his mothers barely touched. That is where his cutie mark came from. Baked Goods had spent weeks on looking up recipes and trying them out and he had done it. He was in the middle of baking one of the breads he had been working so hard on, to make sure it would be perfect when a loud pop pulled him out of his thoughts and bright colours obscured his sight. He was covered in streamers. Pinkie had come in and noticed the brand new cutie mark on his flank, a piece of bread to symbolize his special talent in baking them. He could not have been happier.

All in all he is a quiet colt who's pretty clumsy, with a bit of a random streak that Pinkie rubbed off on him. He's curious and has the tendency to pretty much space out at any given moment. But he's eager to learn and eager to please. Due to his more quiet disposition he doesn't have a lot of friends, but he gets along with everyone just fine. Every pony in Ponyville is a potential new friend to make.

[Here is a little extra sheet with some more drawing of him on it

Going to have to give this story a look-over]

Haha thank you, both of you.

This place seems like a nice community, I'm sure I'll have a blast :heart:

Hello everyone!!

I'll be blunt right of the bat; I joined for the contest.

Actually, without it I might have never found this place, so who knows, I might lurk around a lot more despite being lured in with a fun opportunity at creating crack.

A simple (and rather basic?)introduction is in place then I suppose huh?

Again, HI!

My name, as you can see below |D my icon, is AppleCake, but Cake usually does just fine. I've been a brony since I believe episode 5 or 6 came out? My friend introduced me to it and, well, I'm hooked. I'm 19 years of age, a FTM (honestly I don't care much about spilling those beans) and I reside in the tiny country called The Netherlands. My fav pony has to be Applejack. Everypony is amazing though, I love them all equally, I just love Applejack a little more.

And just to throw this out there, I'm scared of the pony generations that came before friendship is magic. I used to play the games and watch the shows and collect the ponies in my youth, but they scare me

So, what else? I roleplay, I cosplay and I draw and on rare occasion I like to venture into writting fanfics. I'm a mailponymen and spend most of my time online.

That's about it I guess.

Nice being here, nice meeting you all!
