''Cupcakes'' is a dark and extremely gory web animation based on a DarkFic of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' by Sergeant Sprinkles.
Plot synopsis: Rainbow Dash wakes up strapped to a table in a darkened room decorated up like a party, but in place of streamers and balloons are blood, bones and body parts. Pinkie Pie appears wearing a dress made from pony flesh and a necklace of unicorn horns. She reveals that she has killed many other ponies and then tells Rainbow Dash that "her number came up". She then proceeds to slowly and brutally mutilate Rainbow Dash, presumably killing her afterwards.
Perhaps what makes this animation so disturbing is that, throughout the entire animation, Pinkie Pie keeps up her bubbly, cheery personality, cracking jokes and insisting that she and Rainbow Dash are having a party, even as Dash pleads and begs for her life. Not surprisingly, both the animation and fic it is based on are ''notorious'' among the fanbase, to the point where the story inspired several pieces of artwork and multiple alternate endings.
For those of you who ''don't'' want to be mentally scarred for life, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AbtCTbSWTk this intentional bastardization will basically tell you everything you need to know]]. It's also good for if you have watched "Cupcakes" and need some NightmareRetardant.[[note]]The video linked in this paragraph happens to tie in with the continuity of the uploader's AbridgedSeries, in case you're curious about why the voices are the way they are.[[/note]]

!!''Cupcakes'' contains examples of:
* AdaptedOut: In the fic the video is based on, Pinkie gives Rainbow Dash a drugged cupcake. The fic also ends with her skinning Rainbow Dash. Neither of these show up in the video -- it starts with Rainbow Dash waking up in a dark room, with no explanation of how she was rendered unconscious, and it ends with Rainbow Dash hanging her head and crying.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the official series, Pinkie is a cute bubbly comic relief character. Here, she's a cannibalistic psychotic murderer.
* AnimatedAdaptation: The video is an adaptation of a DarkFic by Sergeant Sprinkles.
* AnyoneCanDie: Pinkie has gotten to countless ponies, including '''Princess Luna'''. Yes, the second most powerful pony in all of Equestria, who controls the night, has been captured, killed, and made into cupcakes by a sugar-hopped, partying earth pony.
** In regards to Luna being killed by Pinkie Pie, [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic1.pdf one]] [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic2.pdf story]] actually draws attention to how difficult it would be for somepony to actually overpower Luna, let alone kill her. Even Twilight Sparkle would have been hard-pressed to do so. [[spoiler:Which leaves only one pony capable of doing so, who just so happens to raise the sun....]]
* AssholeVictim: Pinkie had already killed [[spoiler:[[BitchInSheepsClothing Gilda the Griffon]]]] by the time she decided to go after Rainbow Dash. There's also [[spoiler:the resident {{Jerkass}} filly, Diamond Tiara, amongst the victims.]]
** In one of the animated adaptations, [[spoiler:along with Gilda, other victims are The Great and Powerful Trixie and Angel. As one of the more popular comments notes, "Let's be honest, Angel bunny had it coming..."]]
%%* AxCrazy: Pinkie Pie [[spoiler:and Apple Bloom.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: Frankly, it's not likely ''anypony'' has had any luck trying to escape Pinkie's games.
** This holds true even in sequels and other expansions to Cupcakes. For example in [[spoiler:''My Little Pony: Forensics is Magic'', it is revealed that most of the killings were orchestrated by Princess Celestia, since the body parts of the victims could be used in the creation of Homunculi, who could both replace the victims as well as provide horsepower for farming, which there was a shortage of according to Celestia in her {{Motive Rant}}. Wedge, one of the protagonists, is told all of the above by Celestia, who has him at her mercy and is willing to kill him to ensure his silence. Just before she does so, Applebloom, who had been peeking from behind an open door, rushes into the room and shields Wedge with her body. It seems like Applebloom made a HeroicSacrifice, then Celestia refrains from attacking Applebloom...until it's revealed that Wedge is Applebloom's, having helped Pinkie in her killing spree. Celestia lets Applebloom (who has a Cutie Mark of a hacksaw) and the other Cutie Mark Crusaders carry off Wedge to be tortured and killed, with Celestia apparently having plans for using the moon as a place for several secret depopulation camps. The ending does have a {{Hope Spot}} in the form of a Dictaphone that Wedge chucked to Derpy, who carried it to Twilight's house, where it was discovered by Spike.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Pinkie Pie, a bubbly, somewhat ditzy pony, brutally murders her friend with a smile on her face and acts just that way the whole time.
* BlackComedy: Due to Pinkie's attitude to the whole deal, some kids found it hilarious.
* BloodierAndGorier: This has WAY more blood than ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' would EVER have.
* {{Bowdlerization}}: In the fic the video is based on, Pinkie gives Rainbow Dash a drugged cupcake. The fic also ends with her skinning Rainbow Dash. Neither of these show up in the video -- it starts with Rainbow Dash waking up in a dark room, with no explanation of how she was rendered unconscious, and it ends with Rainbow Dash hanging her head and crying.
* BrokenAngel: A few of the Alternate Endings have Rainbow Dash survive but end up as this instead.
* CannibalLarder: Pinkie Pie adorns her room with painted skulls, disembodied pony heads and streamers made from dried-up intestines, among other things.
* CharacteristicTrope: Almost all {{Dark Fic}}s in this fandom are in some way connected to this story.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Pinkie Pie does this to Rainbow Dash for the entirety of the video.
* CreepyPasta: Its infamy has caused Cupcakes to become classified as one, though in this case it's akin to an honorary creepypasta.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: A good friend of yours strapping you down, mutilating your body, and having you later made into cupcakes is the last thing '''anyone''' would ever want.
* CuteAndPsycho: The most disturbing thing about the video is that, despite all the murder, evisceration and evil cooking, Pinkie's outer self is just as happy, cute and casual as ever.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Clearly very different from the cutesy, light-hearted cartoon it's inspired by.
* DeadGuyPuppet: Pinkie does this with [[spoiler:Gilda]]'s skull.
* DeathByIrony: Rainbow Dash, representing the [[UndyingLoyalty Element of Loyalty to one's friends]], was betrayed and murdered by one of them.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Gilda, to the point where Pinkie Pie shoves a Parasprite down her throat. Unlike Rainbow Dash, Gilda is so badass she badmouths Pinkie Pie until she dies.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Before Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie somehow kidnapped and murdered Princess Luna, a divine alicorn with godlike power capable of raising the moon.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Based on the victims we see, this could be interpreted as a revenge story. However, the worst any of the victims have done is be petty {{Jerkass}}es. The fake movie trailer has her flip out over not being invited to the Grand Galloping Gala and being snubbed for Gummy's after-birthday party.
* ElectricTorture: Pinkie hammers hot nails into Rainbow's hooves, then connects the nails to a battery.
%%* EnfantTerrible. Apple Bloom, and if one counts {{Man Child}}ren, Pinkie Pie.
* EtTuBrute: Rainbow Dash had this realization when she finds out that Pinkie Pie was a mass-murderer, and was planning to kill her too.
* FallenHero: The same pony representing the Element of Laughter, who helped to defeat Nightmare Moon and Discord, is now a homicidal maniac with cannibalistic intentions.
* FanVerse: The video has been receiving an ever growing number of [[SpinOff Spin-Offs]], {{Spiritual Successor}}s, [[FanSequel Fan Sequels and Prequels]], [[Blog/AskAPony Ask Blogs]] and FanWebComics based on or is set in Cupcake's (sometimes in conjunction with another popular DarkFic) universe (even the spin-off {{Dark Fic}}s themselves are [[{{Crossover}} crossing over]] ''each other'') that a BloodierAndGorier version of Equestria is beginning to form where everyone has gone insane and the victims are somehow resurrected BackFromTheDead (or have somehow survived the ordeal) to experience their torture and suffering all over again or to seek revenge on their killers.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Pinkie retains her cheerful attitude while committing her atrocities.
* ForceFeeding: It's briefly mentioned that Pinkie forced a live Parasprite down [[spoiler:Gilda's]] throat. In one of the unofficial sequels, Pinkie Pie [[spoiler:feeds Fluttershy's beloved pet rabbit, Angel, to Gummy and then attempts to force-feed his remains to Fluttershy]].
* GenuineHumanHide: Pinkie's "dress" is made out of cutie marks of the other ponies.
* GigglingVillain: Pinkie giggles a lot throughout the animation.
* GrotesqueCute: It's Pinkie Pie re-enacting Film/{{Hostel}}.
* HeroKiller: Technically, one hero is the killer of another, but still.
* HeroicBSOD: Poor Rainbow Dash. Tried so hard to make it out, but in the end, simply gave up and ended up being made into a cupcake.
* ImAHumanitarian: It's implied that Pinkie Pie bakes Rainbow Dash into cupcakes afterwards, and that she has done the same with others.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Goes both ways: Pinkie murders Gilda, who is a complete and utter {{Jerkass}}, but more because Pinkie is utterly insane and less about being offended by her behavior. Gilda, on the other hand, was a jerk for the sake of being a jerk to Pinkie Pie, but considering Pinkie Pie turns out to be an insane murderer in this, [[MuggingTheMonster Gilda wasn't exactly crapping on an innocent little flower]] like she was with Fluttershy.
* LethalChef: Apparently, Rainbow Dash isn't very good at making cupcakes.
* LotteryOfDoom: Pinkie chooses her victims like this.
* MacGyvering: Pinkie is quite creative with what's left of her victims. The necklace of unicorn horns, the dress made out of cutie marks, painting skulls for crafts, and many more disturbing ideas.
* MuggingTheMonster: Turns out Gilda screwed with a mass-murderer.
* TheMusical: Another AnimatedAdaptation was [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/582675 created]]. This time it's a musical with the song "[[http://youtu.be/xpvdAJYvofI This is Halloween]]" from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' playing in the background.
* NothingNiceAboutSugarAndSpice: Pinkie Pie is a serial killer and cannibal who not only uses pieces of her victims in her cupcake recipe but also takes cutie marks, pegasus wings and unicorn horns and adds them to the dress she wears when torturing somepony.
* PoliceAreUseless:
** It's a miracle how Pinkie is able to do all this without any legal comeuppance, or even notice by the Cakes (who ''own Sugarcube Corner'' and would certainly go in their basement from time to time). However, it's safe to assume that somepony has reported the missing ponies and Pinkie's just slipped under the radar.
** This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in [=FimFlamFilosophy=]'s [[http://youtu.be/_AbtCTbSWTk parody video]], where Pinkie is discovered by Mrs Cake shortly after the dramatic reveal and tries (and fails) to talk her way out of trouble.
*** Though Mrs. Cake is annoyed with the fact that Pinkie's not working and not with the horrific acts of TorturePorn she's performing in the basement.
** [[http://www.bunnyrock.com/MyLittlePonyForensicsIsMagic1.pdf One of the sequels]] [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs this]] by pointing out how unlikely it was Pinkie could do all this and not get caught by the police
