Mr. and Mrs. Cake

Mr. Carrot Cake and Mrs. Cup Cake are the owners of Sugarcube Corner and Pinkie Pie's employers and landlords, as they rent the loft above the shop to her. Their full names have not yet been revealed in the show, but the two have been mentioned by the show's creator, Lauren Faust.

History
The couple frequently performs catering services in Ponyville, specializing in sweets and baked goods. They are shown preparing many cakes and sweets for Celestia's visit in Swarm of the Century, and wait on the Princess at the party thrown for her in A Bird in the Hoof. As seen in the first episode, Sweet Apple Acres also caters food for events, in this case the Summer Sun Celebration, meaning the Cakes are not without competition in Ponyville.

Pinkie Pie works for them in their shop, and the Cakes show a good amount of patience for the party-loving pony, especially when she eats the merchandise or uses their shop floor as a party location. Faust has stated that they love her as a daughter. Mrs. Cup Cake has a particularly motherly affection, referring to others and even the Princess herself, albeit not deliberately, as "dearie."

Trivia

 * In A Bird in the Hoof, at 5 minutes and 9 seconds in, Mrs. Cake's gasp is a reused sound of Pinkie's gasp in reaction to Twilight's appearance in Ponyville in Friendship is Magic, part 1. The same gasp effect was also used in Bridle Gossip.
 * Mr. Cake has a protruding lower jaw or underbite and a ganglier appearance which is very distinctive from the average male pony's design template. Mrs. Cake has an overall rounder design contrasting to both her husband and other female ponies. They both as well have very distinctive mane and wear unique accessories, making their overall appearance very unique.
 * Mr. and Mrs. Cake are very different from normal pony models, Mrs. Cake being slightly chubby and round while Mr. Cake is tall and skinny.
 * The costumes Mr. and Mrs. Cake are seen wearing in Luna Eclipsed strongly resemble Johnny Gruelle's Raggedy Ann and Andy.
