Description
Sometimes, these goddamned pony conspiracy theories really piss me off, and this one of those. "MRS. CAKE CHEATED ON HER HUSBAND!" "MOLESTIA IS CANON!" Now, I could go on for hours about how much I hate Molestia and how disrespectful and insulting she is to the real Celestia, but several other Celestia supporters have already done that and I want to stay on topic.1. Pumpkin Cake has similar mane, hair, and eye colors of Mr. Cake
2. When babies are born, they do not look like clones of their parents, nor is their hair/eye color a mixture of their parents' hair/eye color.
3.Does Mrs. Cake really look like the type of person who would cheat on her husband?
4. Celestia would never rape any of her subjects, nor is it possible for two females to produce children through sex.
5. If Pound and Pumpkin were both Earth ponies, then they would not have given Pinkie half the trouble they had and therefore, a great majority of the episode's slapstick humor would've been lost.
6. Why are you all so quick to disregard genetics? Just because they live in a magical land doesn't mean that there are no scientific explanations for some things!
I firmly believe that Mr. and Mrs. Cake are a happily married couple with two beautiful children that are both theirs and nothing else. Please tell me there are others who think so too.

Of course that's an extreme case, but like someone else mentioned, it's also why two dark-haired people can produce a redheaded baby if someone in the family was a ginger, or parents with brown eyes and blue eyes have a green-eyed baby.
The animation team did their genealogy homework, while some of the brony community refuses to.

Yeah. Now THAT is stupid. Speaking of family theories in the fandom, how do you feel about the 'Sparkler is Derpy's oldest daughter' theory?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do like it. That is, I see no reason why I shouldn't like it.
Another thing I'd like to discuss is Diamond Tiara. It sort of pisses me off when people portray her as still being a bitch when she's an adult. Just because she's mean as a little girl doesn't mean she'll be mean as an adult! There's always a chance for growth and maturity to take hold!
Also, one person suggested that her grandmother is Mayor Mare. I think it's somewhat possible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a fairly good theory, and it is plausible, despite her age.
Oh yeah X3 Some fans just don't seem to want to let time run its course on some ponies. But I can see her mellowing out as she gets older and feeling bad about being a bully. ...and that is an interesting theory.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what I like to think.
And it does make a bit of sense, since the Mayor and Filthy Rich do have similar colors, and having the Mayor for her grandmother would boost DT's ego.
Also, be sure to check my favs for Spikebloom and Fancity stuff!

As a joke it can be fun but I agree that Mrs and Mr Cake are happily married and did not cheat. That and many fans have explained how 2 earth ponies could get a pegasus and a unicorn. For science!

People need to realize this is a kids show...There's no molesting, nor cheating, nor any of that shit! Sure adults watch it, but anyone who thinks theres such things in a little girls show, needs to seek mental therapy and get their mind out of the toilet or whatever the hell its been.

That's what I say! Yes, adults watch it, but it's still a kid show!

Maybe, but Molestia is not canon!

And really, it makes sense that ponies would carry the genetic backgrounds of all three species. Surely interracial marriages are much more common in a place like Equestria than in a racism-steeped world like... well, like OURS!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Equestria is such a far more cleaner and purer world than ours...

While i do believe that genetics play a part, there is one other possibility:
They may have needed a surrogate or donor for Mr Cake, for one reason or another.

1> Heredity
2> Good point
3> Again good point, but some people will counter with you can't always judge some one by their looks. Anyways this is a show for children so things like cheating and unfaithfulness wouldn't even be brought up in the first place
4> The Molestia meme is overplayed and just needs to die
5> I dunno, two rambunctious earth pony foals could of still given her a fair amount of trouble if the episode was written right.
6> Faust did state that the three pony types could interbreed so Carrot and Cup Cake certainly would(do) have Pegasus and Unicorn relatives somewhere in their respective family histories.
Bottom line is fans will think up anything as a reason or solution to what they think is a situation or event where the facts don't add up, plus the nervous manner in which Mr. Cake explained how Pumpkin could be a unicorn and Pound a pegasus does sort add fuel to the fire(he was likely up all night worried for his wife's well being and excited about becoming a father, of course he's gonna be frazzled once things settle down). The best way handle the most ridiculous conspiracy theories is to just ignore them and keep enjoying the show. That's how I handle the "Sparity/FlutterMac is cannon because..." cries.

Well, yes, the look on Mr. Cake's certainly didn't help matters...
But yes, why would a kid's show about friendship bring up cheating an d unfaithfulness. Despite the adult audience, this is still a kid's ahow!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Here is why I agree with you
1. Pumpkin does look like her father and her hair could be something she got from her mom. I am not talking about the color, but the size of it. Feel kinda bad for Pound he does not look like them.
2. Very true. My sister is blond and eaither of my parents are.
3. Agree with what you said
4. Agree with what you said
5. I have to agree with you on the episode. If Pound or Pumpkin had been 2 normal eath pony the episode would have been over when she got them in their bed. Why she put them in the same bed is beyound me.
So I do agree with you on Pound and Pumpkin.

I for one never even thought or heard about this.
But it's a kid's show. Why would there be cheating in a kids show?
That's not a very good example.
And cartoon like this defy logic all the time.
Therefore, I guess I agree.

Also, you're assuming that would be a bad thing. Perhaps they have an open marriage, or they're swingers. Nothing wrong with that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow.
I just don't know how to reply to that.
What, is honoring and cherishing one's partner and relationship out of style? Is it suddenly okay to treat people like collectibles? To go out with as many people as you damn well please and not give a damn to what they feel? Oh yeah, it's definitely okay to act like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, you're not understanding. I'm saying they might have an open marriage, where they do love other ponies. There's nothing wrong with that. If they're doing it behind one another's back, yeah, there might be a problem. But that's not what I'm suggesting.
Yes, you would honour and cherish them, and you would have sex with someone else.
I'll put it as simply as I can:
"Why do we assume that we only have a certain kind of love for one person and that if you love somebody else or you're sexual with them, that there's something dangerous or wrong about that?"
"We're husband, wife, and children, and other people who love us and who we love, can you explain to me why that's not okay?" - Nan Wise, [link]

I agree, but since you bring it up. You're missing a big reason why people think that. Carrot says: "That makes sense right?" Then nervously looks around. Who is he asking, and who exactly is he trying to convince?
Also, it doesn't make sense, because: "Cup Cake's great aunt's second cousin twice removed was a pegasus." Last I checked, 'twice removed' means 'through marriage' which means 'not through blood' which means 'NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!"
Now, as for Celestia being the real father? No, that's just stupid for dozens of reasons. But it's irrelevant.
But, either way, the whole show's filled with stupid shit, and it works for narrative purposes, so it doesn't matter.
Now, can I make a suggestion. Add some colour to it, for crying out shit!!!

I have to respectfully disagree with you there, BlackWidower.
1. Open Marriages have a tendency for extreme psychosocial side effects. For example, a longitudinal study published in 2004 performed by a team under Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (one of THE major players in the APA) found that 70% of couples who described themselves as being in "open marriages" experienced higher than normal outbreaks of domestic violence, separation and divorce. Furthermore, 83% of those same couples had at least one partner reporting heightened depression, suicidal ideation, and feelings of hostility towards their partner. Bear in mind, that these same couples knew and agreed to this lifestyle choice. Feminist Sociologist, Judith Stacey remarked that removing the emotional component from sex was difficult and grew progressively harder to accomplish. In studying polyamourous married unions all over the world, found that ultimately, the vast majority of couples did not stay together because they loved each other, but rather as a convenience (and in fact, they usually either grew to despise each other or simply regard the other as a non-entity). Short version: The science says that if you want to have a "open relationship", you shouldn't get married (just stay dating). Marriage means that you find your intimate needs and wants in your spouse and they to you. If you need to look outside your marriage for passion, unable to reinvent, reinvigorate, or even experiment with your other...then something is missing from commitment of both partners and the relationship is a farce, a product of two selfish minds. Its marriage and family therapy 101.
2. Well actually, "Twice Removed" means "two generations removed from a common generational relationship". In other words, a cousin who shares blood with you, but is on a different branch of the family tree. In other words the great aunt could still be in the gene pool and can still contribute. So his statement could be true.
3. Personally, I think his nervousness is a reference to G1 Ponies episode. In this particular episode, a unicorn and a pegasus magically disguise themselves as older, hornless, wingless ponies to escape their particular duty (they granted wishes but then they got tired of it, because they found that most ponies were selfish, yadda-yadda. You know the drill). They spend the entire episode terrified what will happen if their disguise is broken and their true nature discovered. The kicker? The cover identity of these ponies was as two PASTRY CHEFS. See where this is going? I'm willing to bet dollars to bits that there is going to be an episode where the demure and seemingly "weak" older couple are revealed to be powerful ponies trying to hide from their duty (insert moral about "judging books by covers" or "facing your problems" or "Don't fuck with a pony with a Bruce Campbell jawline").

...and I'll have to respectively disagree with you. You can love more than one person, it is possible.
Now, it's possible that all you said was correct, I'm not gonna argue that, however what I will argue is that just because many people end up in unhappy marriages or divorce because of this, it's not all. Like the Wises, they seem happy: [link]
Anyway, regarding your last point, the fact that I didn't see that show, and therefore didn't get the reference, makes it a bad idea. References are one step away from an inside joke, and just as stupid. In summation: References are BULLSHIT!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
References add flavor to any work of fiction, making it possible to appeal to
old fans, as well as adding layers for new fans. Hell, Stephen King has made a career
of it.
Secondly, sure they CAN be happy. You CAN love more than one person. It CAN happen....in the same way
clapping your hands 1000 times CAN result in a a passing alien vessel noticing you, coming down and stopping for tea. It CAN happen, its just extremely unlikely and science says the probabilities are against you. Besides, you said it yourself: the Wises "seem" happy. Outside impressions can be deceiving. We will see in time if their happiness holds or if they join the legions of the jilted and bitter.
