As the announcement had been made, a giant cake had slowly been rolled from back stage to the center of the stage. At first, nothing had been happening. That was until the name 'Pinkie Pie' had been uttered, as well as the multiple nicknames that the pink party planning pony had been known for. The cake had begun to move, almost as if it was going to explode. Before anyone could react of question it, the cake had exploded. More and more frosting had been rained onto the crowd. Out from the cake, a pink earth pony, covered in frosting had made her appearance known. "Helloooooo, everypony~! It's your host Pinkie Pie, welcoming you all to this year's Big Goof off!" She exclaimed, hopping all over the place as she was super excited to be hosting this event. "I want to give a big shout out to Dynamo Pad for the idea to launch some delicious cake frosting to the crowd. Since I'd be in the cake, I needed some assistance getting started. Now a Big Goof Off like this would probably need my giant party cannon, Big Bertha! Although, I think we can have more exciting moments to come! I guess jumping out of the cake is one way to take the cake" She giggled and snorted at her little pun, before directing her attention towards the crowd.
"Now, then. I know what you may be thinking that Goof Off's are serious business. I can guarantee you that this Goof Off will be the most, incredible, amazing, super spectacular Goof Off in Equestrian history! I'm talking laughs, randomness, silliness, fun, fun fun fun and more fun to be had! Did I mention fun!? Because I most certainly heard fun!" Pinkie grinned, while Dynamo had levitated her the list of participants that were taking part in the competition. "We have some amazing participants this year and I think we should let some of them take the stage to show you what laughs and fun they have in store for us all. Let's put our hooves together as we welcome our first contestant and her croissant companion. @Shiny Silvermoon Shiny Silvermoon and Croissanto!!!" She announced, joining Dynamo backstage as she hopped away. Allowing the first contestant to take center stage.
