Sugarcube Corner (Patreon)

PB Sandwich and Midnight Abyss both work at Sugarcube Corner. Since Pinkie Pie left years ago to open a joke shop with Cheese, and since the Cake children have careers unrelated to baking (Pound is a boxer, Pumpkin is a food scientist), Mister and Missus Cake have needed help keeping their bakery afloat. PB is a super dedicated, enthusiastic, and loyal worker, adored by the elderly Cakes, whom he adores right back. Midnight is also there.

Midnight developed an interest in baking at a young age, and after much begging, she was allowed to start an apprenticeship with Miss Sugar Belle. Although Sugar at first tried to keep things polite and strictly professional, she couldn't evade all of Midnight's questions about Our Town, and eventually spilled the beans. Listening to Sugar's stories disillusioned Midnight on the idea of the great magical destiny her mothers always said was waiting for her, and especially affected her relationship with Starlight. Rather than becoming the pretty princess her mothers dreamed of, Midnight became a slacker witch-for-hire. She often needed space to get away from her moms and pressure about the future, so on a whim she applied for a job at Sugarcube Corner.

Now Midnight spends most of her time baking with her co-worker (and boyfriend) PB Sandwich. She's kind of a terrible employee and entirely apathetic to customers, but the Cakes aren't sure if firing her would bring a terrible curse down on their heads (answer: yes it would, Midnight has already calibrated the spell). PB however thinks "Abby" is just the absolute bee's knees, and can often be spotted being a blushy doting dolt around her.

Pinkie doesn't like her son (precious momma's boy that he is) dating some random drab goth but what can ya do
