I am pretty suprised that they went so far as to show that these baby ponies were capable of doing what the adults can do. With Pumpkin Cakes's magic, it may show she is more talented than Twilight Sparkle. Rarity said that baby unicorns get strange magic surges. By the sound of that, it seems that a baby unicorn cannot harness their magical abilities until they are older (probably school age, since I haven't seen Sweetie Belle use magic. The same problem is seen with Pound Cake.  He has already proved a very capable flier, and is so strong he can drag Pinkie quite a distant while flying. (considering he's a baby)  Scootaloo hasn't gotten flying down yet, proving once again that he's on par with Rainbow Dash and will surpass her even as a young colt.  I doubt they are trying to show this, but that is what it is pointing out to be.  BUT, since a ponies name reflects their "to be" Cutie Mark (which is a problem in and of itself, but it's MLP, and there needs to be some continuity with the original 80's ponies), that means that these two will probably take up something along the lines of baking, especially Pumpkin Cake.  Pound Cake may or may not take on such a career (since Pound is his first name, which could point to anything masculine) and a pound cake can have many variations, leaving room for many Cutie Marks. Overall, these two babies defy what has been established as norm in the world of Equestria. I know that the writers probably did this to make it look more overwhelming for Pinkie Pie, and this show is directed at children (who do look into such details of a show), but for the older audiences which the writers know are out there, why did they not do something a bit more realistic in the world of MLP?
