the life of Pinkie Pie as an employee of Mr. and Mrs. Cake

[Motion Spark 7,811]

so I was wondering what kind of relationship Pinkie Pie has with Mr. and Mrs. Cake? it obviously looks like Pinkie Pie is their (only) employee, however, I think she has too many "advantanges" as an employee, like throwing every kind of parties in their establishment and they don't seem to be invited to any of them, she also takes a lot of free time to hang out with her friends when she really should be working. They actually are really careful with what tasks they give to her, like if they don't trust her enough, so why they chose Pinkie Pie and not other pony?

 

She lives in Sugarcube Corner, and they seem to pay for her needs (it seems), they aren't any kind of relatives that I recall...why doesn't she has a place of her own? she has a job right?

 

She used to work in a rock farm with her family, what happened after she earned her cutie mark, why did she left them? Does she wanted to pursue the "pony" dream in Ponyville by leaving her family?

 

what are your thoughts on that "gap" in the life of Pinkie Pie, time to discuss away guys!!

Her parents kicked her out of the house demanding that she has to go get a job, and give them the money.

 

Pinkie probally left the farm to spread her love of parties and happiness to other ponies around Equestria 24 hours a day. Her parents are either still at that rock farm thing or moved somewhere else.

 

I don't really know why Pinkie chose to stay with the Cakes and not get her own house. It is a bakery full of cakes, sweets, and other things that Pinkie likes. Maybe she chose to stay there because she could have an easier access to the candy and cakes.

 

Maybe season 3 (or other seasons) could clear Pinkie's foggy past.

I think that Pinkie could be the niece of Mrs. Cake. Their eye and coat color are similar (Pinkie: pink coat and blue eyes; Mrs. Cake: blue coat pink eyes and mane)

Also, the surnames speak for themselves. I mean, Pie... Cake....

 

So after Pinkie got away from her parents, she might have looked for some shelter at her aunts place, taking the job to cover the rent expences.

I smell the plot for a S3 episode coming on

It would be interesting to see the real relationship between these guys. I also wanna see how she'd react to her parents birthday.

Pinke just left the farm so should could bring smiles to everypony. Her parents and maybe her sisters live on the rock farm.

 

I don't think they are related. The Cakes must like her, seeing as she is good at setting up parties and baking. As for why she lives with the Cakes, Pinkie most likely lives there because the house is in the shape of a giant ginger bread house. It is her dream home. Not to mention the Sugarcube corner looks like a good hang out spot, so ponies just have parties there and the Cakes tell her to set up the store for the parties. It is one of her jobs.

 

I hope it's an episode. Like as a story from Pound and Pumpkin.

I think they have Pinkie in lieu of another pony because she has the most enthusiasm to sweets around. They'd rather have someone who takes the job of baked good assistant be someone that enjoys their job, in contrast to someone who'd be miserable doing it.

I'm not so sure if they are relatives at all, they don't "act" way, if they were family Pinkie Pie being the pony she is, she would have mentioned it before. But you have a good point there

Pinkie Pie left and went to Ponyville to spread the love and randomness, throwing parties for everypony and whatever she does best.

[Dusty Soul 2,614]

Pinkie left the farm and moved to Ponyville. She needed a place to stay and a job so the cakes let her stay with them. She's been there for so long that they just let her be. (It would be pretty cool however, if she was in some way related to the cakes)

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Pinkie is awesome, therefore she deserves the most amazing backstory ever......

 

THE BEGINNING IS NOT STOLEN FROM FiW, srsly guys

 

Her parents died in a fiery blaze, she became an orphan, she was in the orphanage until she was a full grown mare the cakes had recently received eye surgery, and they wanted to adopt a filly, so they thought she was a filly pegasus, after their eyes were fully healed, she lied and said somepony came and turned her into a full grown earth pony mare, it was too late for them to return her to the orphanage, so they made her live there as long as she worked for free...... the end :3

 

 

Na'h, I think she just ran away from home, and the cakes took her in as their daughter.... who doesn't want to have Pinkie as a daughter? :3

[Motion Spark 7,811]

@, Oh Pinkazoid, so random!!!

 

what happened to her family? not to mention, that all of her family members have neutral colors to their coats and Pinkie was the only pink (different color) one. That's kind of weird.

 

After the first Pinkie party, they all seemed to be happy and enjoyed themselves, did she just forgot about them and left her house?

why Pinkie?

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Well from the looks of it, her parents are hard workers, if they make their daughters work everyday pushing rocks around, since her talent was partying she was the Party Rocker of the house trollface.jpg she probably worked more on parties than on her chores, her dad got angry and woop-dee-doo she got sad and ran away from home xD

When I first watched the show I thought that Pinkie Pie was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cake before I watched how she got her cutie mark. She's problaby getting a lot of funding because she may be the best worker somepony would see. I mean usually when you go to some place to eat the cashier has a depressed looking face on them.

like others said, they are probably somehow related. they both like baking, both are bright colours, and such.

[Lostwanderer 367]

I don't think the're related, i just think they can't get rid of her, adn the sugar keeps her from going psycho.
