Gingerbread, owner and manager of Ponyland's bakery.
Gingerbread's Bakery may look like a small shop, but it's always bustling with customers. Everyone in Ponyland comes to the bakery for fresh bread, cakes, cookies, and all kinds of baked goods.
The bakery is also a popular place to have breakfast and lunch. The shop sells coffee, tea, donuts, rolls, and cake by the slice.

Wiggles is sure Santa won't mind if a few cookies are missing.
Holidays are always especially busy. At Christmas, the bakery sells gingerbread and sugar cookies for the baby ponies to leave out for Santa.
On Valentine's Day, heart-shaped cakes and cookies are all the rage.

But all year round, fresh-baked bread is the mainstay of Gingerbread Bakery. White bread, rye bread, honey wheat, French, Italian, sourdough, buttermilk, raisin, pumpernickel -- just take your pick.
Cakes and donuts are always popular with the baby ponies, and they're great for parties.

On rare occasions, the bakers even have the opportunity to display their skill at designing wedding cakes.
The bakery works closely with the Ponyland Cafe, exchanging pastries for coffees and teas, so both shops can provide everything their customers want. Sweet stuff, the bakery's head clerk, manages trades and bulk sales.

Jellyfish also helps with the baking. She works mornings, and enjoys baking breakfast foods like pastries, donuts, bagels, and croissants.
It's not easy to bake for a whole town, and Gingerbread and her staff work longer hours than many other ponies in Ponyland, but Gingerbread is sure she'll soon find other talented bakers and cake decorators to join the business. Together, she and her staff keep Ponyland well supplied with everyone's favorite cakes, pies, cookies, pastries, and breads, every day of the year.
