-->'''Pinkie Pie''': Does that say ''[[Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles "cupcakes"]]''? I love cupcakes!

Pinkie Pie finds a short book with [[SchmuckBait a very tempting title]]. She reads it.

It was [[NightmareFuel not what she expected]].

"Pinkie Pie Reads Cupcakes" is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fancomic posted on Website/DeviantArt by Musapan. It was begun as a reaction/refutation of the infamous fan story ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles''. Originally only a one-off, the artist continued the plot through six more installments (each can be linked to from the first comic's page).

It can be read [[http://fav.me/d41bb5n here.]]

!!Tropes In this {{Webcomic}}:

* ClingyMacGuffin: The copy of ''Cupcakes'' teleports from pony to pony, avoiding all attempts to lock it away.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Fluttershy comforts Pinkie when she gets to her, saying that she probably didn't mean to "step on the caterpillar."
* ExpressiveHair: Pinkie's HeroicBSOD is accompanied by the return of her Pinkamena hairstyle. Her hair re-inflates when Rainbow Dash affirms that she would never think of Pinkie as a serial killer and offers to have a party with her to cheer her up.
* FaintInShock:
** Rarity only makes it through two pages before fainting. Pinkie, Twilight and Applejack think that this is a mercy.
** Fluttershy doesn't even open the book. The others stop her with a made-up alternate story line that is ''still'' too much for her:
-->'''Twilight:''' um... '''Pinkie steps on a caterpillar.''' And kills it, I guess.
-->'''Fluttershy:''' Wh.. What?? B-B-But who could write something so.. so.. !! ''[next frame: thud]''
* FrightInducedBunkmate: Twilight decides to sleep in Spike's bed after reading the book.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Pinkie finds the book, Celestia can be seen in the background hiding behind a tree and laughing while making a trollface.
* HeroicBSOD: Pinkie has a case of this when she sees that [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash has read the copy of ''Cupcakes'']].
* HilarityEnsues: The author/artist manages to find the funny in everypony's reaction.
* KillItWithFire: Once the book has served its purpose of testing the Mane Six's friendship, Celestia burns it up and disintegrates it into a pile of ash.
* NonIndicativeName: The chapter entitled "Fluttershy Reads ''Cupcakes''". The others stop her before she reads any further than Rainbow Dash falling asleep.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler:It's revealed in the end that Celestia was responsible for the copy of ''Cupcakes'' as a manner to test the bond between the Mane Six to make sure they'd be ready for what lays ahead.]]
* SecurityCling: Pinkie's response upon reading the story is to immediately give Rainbow Dash one.
-->'''Rainbow Dash''': Pinkie Pie, what gives? You're freaking me out here! Stop hugging me so tight!
* SoBadItsGood: InUniverse. [[spoiler: Rainbow Dash]]'s reaction to reading ''Cupcakes'' is that it's hilariously ridiculous - Pinkie would never act as she does in the story.
* ThisMeansWar: Applejack's response to reading the book.
-->'''Applejack''': Whoever wrote this is getting '''bucked'''. IN THE FACE. REPEATEDLY.
