To quote Twi’s exact words  
“This is my book, and I’m gonna read it!”

“Written by Twilight Sparkle”? I guess Twi need this book by herself.

It’s the darndest thing. No two readers see the same recipe. But it’s always cake, and it’s always tasty.

@FanOfMostEverything  
Ahh, but a tasty recipe for what kind of cake?
 
Personally, I’m hoping for Black Forest Gateau. :D (Mmm, haven’t had one of those in a long while…)

Strangely, the last page is a completely legible and quite tasty cake recipe.

The book starts okay. Neat layout and professional typesetting. But slowly, page by page, it descends into chaos. The paragraphs start to jump around. At some point hoof-written notes start to appear in the margins. Some pages later all typeset text disappears and is replaced entirely with ugly hoofwritten scratches. The last few pages are completely illegible gibberish, diagrams and images.

Why not both?

More like dumb logic for pinkies

Or, you know, this could happen.

I wouldn’t underestimate Twilight’s willingness to over-analyze things that she really wants to understand without quite making the mark.
 
I imagine Twilight estimates probable a priori assumptions that she imagines Pinkie uses in her thought processes based on all the time they’ve known each other, then extrapolates from those. Her being one to engage in empiricism to an often obsessive degree, one could easily see how this would be counterintuitive for Twilight, but if there’s anything her classical education and intense independent studies have prepared her for, it’s engaging in analysis of counterintuitive ideas.

The book makes as much sense as Pinkie Pie’s Pinkie Sense does. Which is next to none. ;-P

@Mirror Masquerade  
Before that, there are a few hundred pages of derisive laughter, complete with sidebars and footnotes.

The book is just one page.
