I think at some point along the genetic line some obscure Cake relative married, or had an affair, with a Pegasus, and another did the same with a unicorn. Maybe at the time this was severely frowned upon, and it was covered up to avoid scandal, much like interracial relationships were at one time in our world. Perhaps some poor pregnant filly got sent away to a farm in disgrace and saw her halfbreed foal given away. Pony society is a bit more open-minded these days, thankfully, though we still see hints of speciesism (donkey jokes, goats and mules as unskilled laborers) surface.
