"Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness. You've really outdone yourselves, Mr. and Mrs. Cake," said Pinkie Pie impressed as she watched over a four-layered yellow and pink colored cake made out of marzipan that Mr. and Mrs. Cake made for the yearly national dessert competition in Canterlot.

They both felt flattered and took the opportunity to thank Pinkie Pie for offering to transport it all the way to Canterlot.

"Absolutely! It is my honor and I will make sure that nothing happens to that delicious and perfect cake of yours!" She said while saluting determined.
"Right Star Twinkle?" She added, looking at Star Twinkle who was carrying the big thing on his back while looking like he was about to collapse because of its weight.

"Yeah, it's beautiful.
Can we go now?!
This thing is kinda heavy!" He complained, prompting Pinkie Pie to make haste.

Pinkie Pie understood and opened the front door of Sugarcube Corner so that Star Twinkle could carry the cake to the train station.

When Star Twinkle was asked to carry a cake for Pinkie Pie, this was not exactly what he was imagining, mainly because he didn't think it to be this big.

"This way, Star Twinkle.
Just all the way to this direction," Pinkie Pie directed.

"I know where the train station is, Pinkie," Star Twinkle replied a little annoyed while still focusing his eyes in front of him.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake were right behind those two, both really nervous and afraid that something would happen to their cake.
Star Twinkle didn't even want to know what they would do if something would happen to the cake.
This put unnecessary pressure on him which eventually caused him to lose some balance, making the cake shake a little.
Luckily, he was able to balance it again in time.

But that didn't stop the Cake's to scream in fear or in Mr. Cakes case, to fall unconscious.
Pinkie Pie also realized that it was a little dangerous to carry this thing all the way to the station.
It was still a long way after all.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were flying close by and Pinkie Pie took the opportunity to ask them for help, just to make sure.
They tied the plate of the cake up to a rope so that the two Pegasus could balance it while Star Twinkle was carrying it.
This made it a little easier to carry the cake for Star Twinkle but his strength was slowly dropping down a little, making Rainbow Dash's and Fluttershy's job a little more important now.

After a few meter, Star Twinkle lost his balance again and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy both had to keep the cake in place again before it would fall to the ground.
The crisis was prevented again but the Cake's were still nervous or in Mr. Cakes case, again, made him fell unconscious...again.

"I think we need more safety measurements, Pinkie," Star Twinkle suggested, figuring that it was only a matter of time until something would go wrong.

Pinkie Pie looked around to find a better solution and luckily, found Twilight nearby reading a book.

"Twilight, can I see you a second?" She asked to which Twilight gladly agreed to help out a little.

Twilight put a spell around the cake to prevent it from any incoming damage.
It also felt like as if it became lighter for Star Twinkle to carry.
From now on it actually felt like as if they could make it without damaging the cake.
However, the Cake's still kept a close eye on their cake and were still nervous.
Pinkie Pie noticed and called Applejack and Rarity over to help to keep the cake safe as well.

They both carried a trampoline behind Star Twinkle, in case that it would fall down, even though it wasn't in danger anymore.
Still, the cakes were still worried that something would happen, especially Mr. Cake who began to hyperventilate.
