2-4. Of course, Connie and her twin sister, the also-aptly-named Cherry Chimichanga, were in the kitchen from a very young age. Pinkie was incredibly excited to share all her passions with her beloved girls - parties, and cakes, and cookies, and sweets, and cannons, and explosions, and music and…well, the list goes on awhile. They both soaked up all their mother taught them. However, it was Connie that became quite attached to baking itself. With Pinkie’s teachings (and a little advice from beloved ‘aunts’ Mrs. Cake and Sugar Belle) Connie could make pies with ease by the time she was seven. Her loaves of raisin cinnamon bread are quite lovely. But Connie fell in love with the art of the cake. She could watch her mother for hours, creating these delightful concoctions that, sometimes, didn’t even seem real. Delicate pine cones and ribbons made of chocolate, the frosting so smooth, it looked like marble.
 
Connfetti Cake’s passion was really kick-started, however, by accident! It was the morning of her mother’s good friend Captain Tempest Berrytwist’s wedding to the strange, but kind gargoyle Scorpan. It stood there, in all its magnificent glory - the wedding cake her mother had spent the past fifteen hours perfecting. Each flower looked real, the vines, the delicate lacing (obviously, catering more towards the husband-to-be tastes). Connie became so entranced that she accidentally got a little too close…and smashed one of the main roses with her snout. In a panic, Connie takes the lilac frosting, still lying on the counter, and moves her hooves exactly the same way she saw her mom do it. Just a sweep here, and swoop there…carefully, slowly. She is suddenly caught in a tight embrace with kisses and high-pitched lavishes over her obvious talent. Pinkie is so proud of her girl that she even manages to sneak in a little boast during her speech at the reception.
 
From there, Confetti fuels this passion with eagerness. She makes and re-makes, and re-re-makes cakes, trying to pin the recipe down just right. How long exactly the eggs need to be whisked, how warm does the oven need to be to the exact degree (not to worry, nothing went to waste with Uncle Spike around). Her parents are always first to volunteer to be taste-testers, and there are times their jaws drop when that first moist bite touches their tongue. Its only a few months after the wedding cake incident that Confetti Cake gains her perfectly perfect cutie mark (after winning the National Dessert Competition).
 

 
3. Now, with winning that competition, Confetti Cake did gain a teensy little competitive streak in her. She continued to bake and create and improve, and ponies started recognizing her delicious art. However, that does lead to a little bit of rivalry between her and her fellow bakers. Usually its gentle teasing and well-meaning, friendly jabs at one another after taste-testing. But then, there are those kinds of rivals. The ones that are full of snark, and can just be so darn condescending, and darn it darn it, his creations are just as good as hers! Confetti Cake has harbored a sort of eh-hate relationship with Kolaky Jake, the son of her mother’s good friend Moondancer. And Jake is smart. Like, up-and-coming-chemist sort of smart. And he incorporates that into his baking, and the two have gone toe-to-toe in many a competition. However, the annoying colt isn’t malicious. He will 100% yank the very last bag of flour off the shelf, which he knows is the absolute best flour and would have been perfect in her three-tier marble cake. However, most of the time she will end up finding a perfectly-measured cup left outside her doorstep right as she needs it…
 

 
5. Connie’s got a big heart. She loves having a lot of friends and interacts with many ponies on a daily basis. However, her two very bestest friends on this planet are her twin sister, of course, and local apple farmer Chrysanthemum. Chryssi, being Sugar Belle’s daughter, pretty much grew up alongside the twins. They hung out nearly every day after school, and as they get older, there are frequent sleepovers, brunches, walks, trips, and squealings over cute colts. These three are practically inseparable, and Chrysanthemum is always up for trying out their newest concoctions. Connie highly admires Chryssi’s talent with teamaking, and is her go-to for some calming chamomile when she really needs to get some sleep after working eighteen hours straight (“Connie, not again! Ah know yer a hard worker, but y’all need sleep too girl.”)
 

 
6. As Confetti Cake enters her twenties and continues to refine her craft, she has high hopes for her future. Inheriting a deep, solid adoration for Sugarcube Corner, she hopes one day to take over the shop and fill it with all the creations she wants. Ponies will come from far and wide - just as they did for Mrs. Cake, and just as they do for her mother (to whom the Cakes passed down to Pinkie Pie when their children pursued different talents and the Cakes wanted to retire). However, she is still a family girl through and through. She loves incorporating all members of her family into her cakes. After being inspired by the sculptures her cousin Azurite creates from various gems and minerals, Connie worked and worked to create a recipe for her delicious rock-candy geode cakes. Her Aunt Maudie also helps with gentle, but blunt critiques on a certain crevice, or the placement of this crystal over here. Funnily enough, it was a geode cake that she entered in that dessert competition that got her her cutie mark…and the first piece that Maud ate that made her smile. Sorta.
