* Moe "Suzu" Suzuya in ''Manga/AsteroidInLove''. She is effectively the heir of the most popular bakery in town, and spends a lot of time in this regard. Despite her LovableSexManiac antics, the cast generally treats her as a nice and considerate person, and some major plots in this series would not go forward if she didn't provide her encouragement.

Female bakers will be cute and caring; male bakers may be less obviously soft, but will still be kindhearted [[NiceGuy Nice Guys]], and perhaps also strong from all the hard work, but remember that in this case, RealMenWearPink. Regardless of gender, they're often portrayed as idealistic, friendly, and passionate about their craft. They're also typically more feminine in nature than they are masculine; after all, FeminineWomenCanCook, so it stands to reason that good bakers are also feminine and may even like to bake ''because'' they're feminine.

* Twisted but ultimately played straight in ''Film/StrangerThanFiction'' -- when Harold is sent to audit Ana's bakery, she is rude and deliberately standoffish to him because he's an IRS agent and she's a GranolaGirl who donates baked goods to the homeless and refuses to pay the exact percentage of her taxes that would have gone to fund "national defense, corporate loan-outs, and campaign discretionary funds'' (27%, to be exact). But Ana eventually regrets her treatment of Harold and begins to warm up to him, even giving him cookies as a form of apology for how she treated him earlier. Harold sees the kind and caring side of Ana, and the two begin to fall in love.

When people think of baking, they often think of their mother's fresh chocolate chip cookies, warm loaves of bread, and sugary cakes. It's linked to sweets, motherhood, childhood nostalgia and hard, passionate work. So, it's no wonder that the characters who like to bake are often portrayed as being just as sweet as the food they're making.
