Line 30:
'''Note:''' [[Out of Order|This is the twelfth episode of the second season, but was the thirteenth aired and is listed as Season 2 Episode 13 by iTunes.]] As such, [[Recap/My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic S 2 E 13 Baby Cakes]] also links here.

=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E12 Baby Cakes/YMMV|YMMV tropes can be found here]]): ===
 
* [[Absentee Actor]]: Spike appears in one scene, but has no dialogue.
Line 36:
* [[Adult Child]]: Pinkie's [[Adult Child]] nature is what initially makes the Cakes hesitant to pick her as the foals' babysitter.
* [[Adult Fear]]: When Pinkie momentarily loses track of the foals toward the end of the episode. Any real parent could tell you how terrifying it is for their children to vanish, even for a few moments. It doesn't help at all that one of the things Pinkie sees as she's looking around the room is an open window...
* [[Art Evolution]]: Pound and Pumpkin are much less [[Uncanny Valley]] looking than the previous pony infant, who appeared in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|The Mysterious Mare Do Well]]".
* [[Baby Talk]]: Pinkie resorts to this when the twins' diapers need changing.

Line 47:
** Rarity doesn't even bother making an excuse not to babysit; she simply refuses on the spot.
* [[Call Back]]:
** The rubber chicken from "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E7 Dragon Shy|Dragonshy]]" makes a return.
** Rarity's refusal to babysit hearkens back to both "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E17 Stare Master|Stare Master]]" and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E5 Sisterhooves Social|Sisterhooves Social]]". She's not good with children, and likely has already had her fill of babysitting with Sweetie Belle over the years.
** Pinkie Pie's singing ruining something harkens back towards her song in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E21 Over a Barrel|Over a Barrel]]" and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E26 The Best Night Ever|The Best Night Ever]]".
** [[Ocular Gushers|Pinkie's crying]] looks very familiar (read: partly recycled some of the animation) to that other time she cried in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E2 Elements of Harmony|Elements of Harmony]]".
** During the [[Cold Open]], Pinkie Pie accidentally ends up with chocolate cake smeared all over her face, much like her comment in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|The Mysterious Mare Do Well]]" and what she ended up doing in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E9 Sweet and Elite|Sweet and Elite]]".
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: A Pegasus and Unicorn giving advice on baby Pegasi and Unicorns, [[Sarcasm Mode|not a hint or anything.]]
* [[Chocolate Baby|Chocolate Foal]]: A blue-eyed Unicorn and a brown-eyed pegasus, children to two green- and pink-eyed earth ponies. Cue Carrot Cake shifting eyes in [[Fridge Horror]] and asking...
