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 [[TheIdealist 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.

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.

* 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 that [[spoiler:their mission is to '''[[KillTheCutie Kill Her]]'''...]]

* Momoko Takamachi from both ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart3'' and its spin-off, the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' series, is a baker by trade and an epitome of the GoodParents trope. In the latter continuity, Momoko is strongly implied to be Nanoha's main role-model and the main reason why her daughter is both [[HumbleHero so selflessly heroic and so down-to-earth]] (Nanoha's badass streak, on the other hand, probably comes from her ex-{{ninja}} dad Shiro).

* ''Webcomic/CheckPlease'': Protagonist Eric is an extremely talented amateur pastry chef (according to him, pies "just happen" when he's anywhere near an oven), and is an adorable dorky CampGay NiceGuy who loathes physical violence.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': Queen Comet the Chef, Moon's mother and Star's grandmother, was [[SupremeChef famed for her culinary skills]]. She especially 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 Septarians was, enabling him to murder her.
