Cakelestia, part I

Contains some stuffing and excessive descriptions of cake.

Princess Celestia made sure the hall was empty before locking the door to her chambers. Despite instructing the guards that she was NOT to be disturbed tonight, she was still anxious about anyone discovering what she was about to do.

Celestia remembered back to last month, when Twilight Sparkle and her friends arrived in Canterlot with that amazing cake from Ponyville. One of Twilight's friends did eventually gobble up most of it, but not before the princess snuck a slice for herself. What a flavor! She could still almost taste it today. An amazing blend of rich chocolate, vanilla, and cream, with a refreshing mix of tart fruity flavors. The euphoria of the MMMM's taste was only matched by her disappointment after wolfing down her slice, and returning to find the rest of the cake eaten.

Now, Celestia had eaten cake before. She had never been particularly obsessed with sweets, yet the taste cake lingered in her mind, haunting her daydreams for days.  Her mind drifted across all the different types of cake, so many flavors, so many textures! And she had barely tried any of them! The princess dreamt up plans for sampling desserts from across Equestria. Taste tests, guest bakers, and contests, oh my! Yet she realized that nopony could know of her newfound passion. It was simply too embarrassing - she was a princess, the ruler of all Equestria! With her sister, of course. But Celestia was expected to keep certain standards, and being caught snacking on sweets like a filly was certainly not acceptable.

Yet thoughts of cakes continued to haunt the princess. She began to plot out how to enjoy her cakes discreetly. The thought of indulging in secret filled her with a sneaky joy; it was a thrilling feeling the normally austere princess had never felt before.

Which is why yesterday, Celestia placed an order with the Canterlot bakery. The captain of the guards was having a birthday, and needed a cake for the celebration. Spare the writing, though, since the captain disliked being "too fancy." And skip the candles, too.  What flavor? Chocolate, of course, but with chocolate icing too? And strawberry-fruit filling too, with extra fudge as well...

And so tonight, after triple-checking the lock on her chamber door, Princess Celestia turned to greet her cake, which she had delivered in secret and levitated up to her room once the palace staff had retired.  It was a beautiful confection, a smooth oval of chocolate icing over a foot wide, with swirls of lacy cream and meringue decorating the edges.  The princess' mouth watered at the sight of it; she longed to taste this delightful treat. Her horn glowed as a fork, knife and dessert plate were levitated in front of her. Celestia carefully cut a reasonable slice for herself, the utensil gliding smoothly through the dense pastry. Placing the slice on her plate, the alicorn held it close to her mouth, pausing to take in the heavenly scent of chocolate, and admire the mirror-smooth icing. Celestia forked off her first bite and raised it to her eager mouth.

"Mmm..." The taste of cool, sweet frosting and spongy chocolate filled her mouth.  She chewed, and the tanginess of fruit and fudge filling danced on her tongue. Celestia held the bite in her mouth, taking in the cake's rich flavor, before slowly swallowing.  *gulp*

The princess stood there, eyes half-lidded, entranced by her delicious cake, for a full three seconds  Her face warmed and she blushed profusely, yet she reminded herself that she was entirely alone, and nopony would disturb her. There was no need to feel embarrassed over enjoying her sweets! The though felt liberating, and she returned to her slice of cake, levitating the fork for a second bite.

Celestia continued to take delicate bites of her special cake, taking care to sample and enjoy the flavor and texture of every mouthful.  The princess sighed contentedly as she swallowed the last mouthful of frosting, leaving just crumbs on her plate.  'This cake is truly delicious,' she commented to herself. 'I'll be certain to commend the bakers tomorrow!'

She was about to pack the cake up and levitate it back to the kitchen when she paused.  She wasn't nearly satisfied with just one slice.  Surely she could have seconds? The pony princess smiled to herself; she almost never went for seconds, especially on dessert. She levitated the knife and cut herself another slice, then eagerly floated her fork towards the prize, flaking off a decadent first bite and raising it to her waiting mouth.

The second slice was as delicious as the first, and the princess found herself eagerly awaiting each new bite.  The intoxicating flavors of chocolate, strawberry, peach and vanilla coated her taste buds and filled her mind with thoughts of softness, sugar and cream.  Her heart sank as the last bite floated towards her mouth. She again stared at the rest of the cake; the two slices had made a sizable dent in her confection, but a lion's share remained untouched. After a moment's thought, the princess made her decision and crawled atop her regal bed.  Sitting on the rumpled purple covers, she magicked the cake closer and raised the knife for another cut.

'Thirds...' she mumbled softly to herself, blushing again. Yet the warm, thrilling feeling in her gut only intensified as she cut another, larger slice from her cake and dropped it onto the plate. Moments later the wonderful taste of chocolate and filling returned, filling the princess' mouth and mind with cool satisfaction.

Princess Celestia was entranced by the taste of cake, and the devilish excitement of her freedom to indulge, that she barely gave a second thought to cutting a fourth piece. This was the largest yet, and it filled the dessert plate as Celestia brought it to her mouth. The princess lifted one bite to her mouth, then forked off another and another, stuffing in three bites in rapid succession.  Her cheeks bulged and she blushed even harder as her mouth was stuffed with rich, fudgy cake. She struggled to chew her massive bite, swallowing a full minute later with a satisfied half-sigh, half-pant.  Turning back to the fork, she gobbled up the last four bites in rapid succession, chewing faster, as if to release more chocolaty flavor to her waiting mouth.

Finally, the fourth slice was devoured and the princess groaned in satisfaction.  She closed her eyes, taking in the warm, heavy feeling of cake in her stomach, and reached a hoof down to prod her slightly rounded belly. She stroked her warm fur, feeling the satisfying weight of her indulgent meal. 'Simply delicious,' she remarked warmly. Celestia's eyes opened and her gaze fell upon the remaining half of her dessert. The same evil thrill crept into her mind...

The princess imagined her face was beet red at this moment. More? Certainly not! Her subjects would never approve of such gluttony! She was an alicorn of Equestria, ruler of thousands of ponies, princess of the sun, she had responsibilities and standards to uphold, and...

Celestia stared, sweating, at the cake for ages, her mind racing. Suddenly, it all snapped. "Ahaha!" she chuckled to herself, smiling, before opening wide and plunging her muzzle into the chocolate confection. The princess gnawed ravenously through velvety icing, plowing up chocolaty cake and fruity fudge filling. "Mmph, mpgh, umph," she grunted as her mouth filled once again with intoxicating flavors. Celestia tried swallowing her dessert, but the gooey, cakey heaven in her mouth was just too thick and sticky. Not wanting to choke, the alicorn pulled herself up and forced herself to chew, slowly, before swallowing. Breathing heavily, she stared at the hold she had bored into her cake. Celestia was in dire need of some milk, but she didn't DARE leave her room. Her face and muzzle were smeared with chocolate icing, and crumbs littered her bedsheets. She tried her best to lick her mouth clean.

If Celestia was going to continue her racy indulgence, she'd have to do it slower. The princess shifted her seat, lying on her side facing her slightly mushed dessert. Her hoof cradled her rounded middle as she felt its cakey contents slosh.  The alicorn fluffed and refolded her wings, curled her flowing mane out of the way, then began refocusing her magic. The knive levitated over and sloppily sliced off a chunk of cake, which Celestia floated towards her mouth. Eyes half-lidded and leaning forwards in anticipation, she fed herself the hunk of cake, taking large, slow bites and chewing purposefully.

The sun princess' thoughts drifted from the still-delicious taste of cake to the growing fullness of her stomach. Her mind was growing hazy from the excess of sugar and calories, yet she kept her horn focused on slicing chunks of cake off and lifting them to her mouth. Celestia continued to rub her belly as she slowly gorged in a sugary stupor. She could feel her middle growing rounder, tighter, her stomach gurgling and stretching to the point of pain. Swallow after swallow, the princess groaned as her belly ached. Yet she had to keep going, just one more bite, it was so delicious and she couldn't let it go to waste...

Princess Celestia took the next bite, stuffing its moistness into her fudge-coated maw. She chewed, her jaws aching, then gulped it down, letting out an un-regal "ooooahhh..." as her belly reluctantly accepted it. Pulling her head up, Celestia stared at the empty cake platter, smudged with bits of fudge, and the trail of crumbs that led from it to her mouth. She had eaten the entire cake, in one sitting! Celestia blushed again, then grimaced. Her tummy was swollen up and out like a pregnant mare, a solid sphere of deliciousness. The princess cradled her overstuffed middle, too dazed to move. Her thoughts drifted to rivers of cream, smooth and rich, to wash down all that viscous fudge. Yet in her stupor she could barely move her legs. Managing a soft smile, the princess finally fell asleep, surrounded by the crumbs of her sugary prize.
