Line 73:
* [[Call Back]]:
** [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E12 Baby Cakes|In the past]] the Cakes have been hesitant to trust Pinkie to be responsible and were impressed when she proved herself. Now they are entrusting her with a big responsibility and she is determined not to disappoint them.
** In [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]], it's revealed {{spoiler|Rarity wears fake eyelashes, which prove to be a clue to implicate her in eating Pinkie's cake}}.
* [[Carrying a Cake]]: How they get the "Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness" to the train. Averted in that they manage to get it to the '''train''' safely (despite several near mishaps), if not to its ultimate destination.
* [[Chained to A Railway]]: Pinkie's [[Silent Movie]] [[Imagine Spot]] for Gustave includes him tying her to the railroad.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]:
** That painting of a mustached stallion looks pretty normal, doesn't it? {{spoiler|Except he has long eyelashes}}.
** {{spoiler|Also notice how Rarity's right eye [[Peek
** {{spoiler|Though there are no post-cake-munching visual clues for the viewer, the two shadowy figures that Pinkie chases down from the exterior train shown are drawn with the distinctive features of Rainbow and Fluttershy, respectively.}}
* [[Clueless Mystery]]:
Line 88:
** "I admit it! I wear false eyelashes!"
* [[Continuity Nod]]:
** Among the suspects on the train are characters and species from previous episodes, including [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E4 Applebuck Season|a]] [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E22 Hurricane Fluttershy|mule]] ([[No Celebrities Were Harmed|Mulia Mild]]), [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E5 Griffon the Brush Off|a griffon]] (Gustave Le Grand), and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|Joe]]. And of course, the same Friendship Express Train and stations are used as the settings.
** On a meta level, this is not the first time [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E25 Party of One|we've had a Pinkie Pie-centered episode]] just before the season finale.
** Princess Celestia seemed pretty eager to eat a slice of that cake near the end. [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E23 Ponyville Confidential|Considering a certain rumor that was going around last episode...]]
** Pinkie's distinctive gasp from the pilot is recycled when she sees the damaged cake.
Line 137:
* [[Literal Minded]]: When Twilight asks Pinkie to retrace her steps, Pinkie starts walking backwards. Twilight is not amused.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: When taking the initials of the Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness, it sounds like "Mmmm!"
* [[The Name Is Bond, James Bond]]: The beginning of Pinkie's [[Imagine Spot]] for Joe introduces him as "Mane, Con Mane."
* [[Nice Hat]]: Pinkie and Twilight's Sherlock Holmes-ian hats.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Pinkie Pie's {{spoiler|constant descriptions of the MMMM and the other chefs' creations was the main reason why they were eaten in the first place}}. Then again, they are pretty easily tempted, aren't they?
* [[Ninja]]: Mulia Mild is depicted as this in Pinkie's imagination.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Mulia Mild is a lot like Julia Child.
Line 149:
* [[Rhymes On a Dime]]: Pinkie pulls this trope as well: {{spoiler|"Eclair in his hair" and "Sprinkles in her wrinkles"}}
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Explains why Big Mac has trouble with a cake well within his weight class and why no one thinks of using a cart.
* [[Self
* [[Schizo Tech]]: Pinkie's [[Imagine Spot]] for Joe turns him into a [[James Bond]] parody ("Con Mane"), complete with nifty spy-gadgets. Also, Twilight points out that there's no laser beam security system for the MMMM (as depicted in the aforementioned [[Imagine Spot]]), implying that lasers ''do'' exist, just not here.
* [[Shout Out]]:
Line 163:
* [[Silent Movie]]: Pinkie's [[Imagine Spot]] for Gustave is in the style of one.
* [[Single Stroke Battle]]: Ninja Mulia vs the cake in one of Pinkie's Imagine Spots. [[Captain Obvious|The cake loses.]]
* [[Sudden Name Change]]: [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|In his previous appearance]], Doughnut Joe was called Pony Joe by Spike.
* [[Summation Gathering]]: Twilight calls one.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: The Cakes, Gustave Le Grand, Doughnut Joe, and Mulia Mild. Their [[Food Porn|irresistible creations]] {{spoiler|don't even make it to the competition whole, as various people can't resist pigging out on them, and the joint entry that they cobble together at the last minute still manages to easily win the Blue Ribbon}}.
Line 170:
* [[Unmoving Plaid]]: The plaid on Pinkie's deerstalker does not follow the corner of the hat.
* [[Visual Pun]]: Mulia Mild's chocolate mousse moose.
* [[What Do You Mean
* [[Written Sound Effect]]: In the title.
* [[The Watson]]: Pinkie makes Twilight play the part, much to her chagrin. They switch places later, more than once.
