* Cutie the Elephant of ''VideoGame/ItTakesTwo''. While her screentime is short, as part of her ObliviousGuiltSlinging she manages to check off every "Sweet Innocent Character" trope there is--including offering to bake endless fresh cookies for the protagonists and showering them with love and kindness when she notices they are sad. All this while the reason they're sad is because [[spoiler:their mission is to '''[[KillTheCutie Kill Her]]'''...]]

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': Queen Comet the Chef, Moon's mother and Star's grandmother was [[SupremeChef famed for her culinary skills]], in particular she loved to bake and often did so with her daughter as Moon was growing up. She was a also a genuine example of the TheHighQueen (as opposed to many of Mewini's other queens who publicised the image to reasure their citizens but had personal failings and rarely lived up to it) as well as the one who tried to end conflicts with the Monsters going against centuries of prejudice and hate, and almost brought about a new world that would benefit all. Unfortunately her kind-hearted and trusting nature led to her underestimating how hate filled Toffee of the Sepitarians was, enabling him to murder her.

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.

Female bakers will be cute and caring; male bakers may be less obviously soft, but will still be kindhearted {{Nice Guy}}s, 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.

Contrast AngryChef and EvilChef. Compare and Contrast with TheBlacksmith, who shares this trope's positive connotation and hard-work ethic, but with a more masculine field. See also ThroughHisStomach.
