22:07-22:12 "Fine, I'm guilty! I wear false eyelashes! Oh and I took a bite of the cake." Rarity was being so dramatic and just admitted that she ate the cake 🎂🎂🎂🤣🤣🤣

That wasn't a frying pan attack. That was a spell attack: cast iron. That painting started without the eyelash, then it's there after Rarity hit it and Pinkie put it back. They did a good job of showing the stuff knowing what it would be. Also, the deleted scene of AJ saying she took a bite but didn't leave evidence behind is another reason that AJ is best mane 6 pony, along with the fact that her premiere letter to Celestia informs Celestia that she didn't learn anything.

Finally getting caught up! So as noted in the longer patreon comment, this ep has two kind of neat bits of behind the scenes trivia. As written, the contest wasn't taking place in Canterlot but either Fillydelphia or Manehatten, but some executive that's never done a creative thing in their life said that was stupid, and told them to put the contest in Canterlot. Hence why what was always a few hours trip up a mountain became a more then a day long trip along open, flat plains, and why Donut Joe, who lives in Canterlot, brought his entry for a contest in Canterlot, all the way to Ponyville just to grab some sprinkles and take it back to Canterlot. Second, there was a scene cut for time at the end where, after Twilight praises her for her self control, AJ breaks down and confesses that she also took a bite of the cake, she was just smart enough not leave any evidence behind.

I’ve always loved this episode 💜

Showed up at the right time! I've been slacking on watching for a fat minute 😫🤌🤣

Fans guessed that rairity was guilty before the episode even aired because of a promo that showed rairity with her hair different.

Pinkie pie’s stories of who did it 😂

13:24 - Greetings from Poland, and what can I see in the commentary section? Translating: "o siema" - "oh, howdy" "co tam u Ciebie, aryjski bracie?" - "what's up, Aryan brother?" "czy w tej bajce znajduje się jakaś Daniłowska" - "is there some kind of Daniłowska in this fairy tale(*)?" All in all, you've got a Neo-Nazi among your commenters. Just sayin'. (*)unfortunately, in my country, there is an utterly moronic custom of referring to ANY sort of animated movie or series as a "fairy tale". Including far too complex and/or far too kid-unfriendly works like "Heavy Metal" or "Unicorn Wars" or anime like "Akira".
