What do you think happened to the Cakes? (Pony Life)

Light spoilers for upcoming episodes of Pony Life.

If you've been watching the show then you already know that Sugarcube Corner is the hub around which most of the craziness revolves. Most episodes start with the girls gathering at the little bakery (which is now on an island in the middle of a pond for some reason) and then the conflict for the episode ensues, usually ending with the girls heading back to Sugarcube Corner once everything has been resolved. It's where they get their potions, where they brainstorm their ideas, and practically seems like where they live despite the only resident and apparent sole employee being Pinkie Pie. But something's missing, isn't it? Pinkie Pie isn't the only employee of Sugarcube Corner, or at least she wasn't in FiM.

Mr. And Mrs. Cake were the owners, bakers, and primary employees of Sugarcube Corner, and while Pinkie Pie worked and lived there it was their business and their home. The married couple are nowhere to be found in Pony Life. Neither they nor their twin children are even mentioned by Pinkie Pie even once. (Though, granted, Pinkie Pie seems pretty obsessed with her cooking competition/reality tv show.)

In a clip for an as yet unreleased episode, Pinkie has a line where she says 'Today's the day I take over Sugarcube Corner!' Though the episode has not aired yet, it's possible that this scene takes place in a flashback to before Pony Life started to air. While Pinkie was always an apprentice to the Cakes, in FiM it was never implied that she would one day take over the bakery.

Even in The Last Problem while it seems to be implied that Sugarcube Corner is still an important part of her life, she only stops by there to pick up Lil Cheese as Pound and Pumpkin Cake we're babysitting him. Of course, Pony Life is an AU so this Pinkie's destiny may be a little different From her FiM counterpart, but is it really that different?

So what happened?

Do you think the Cakes decided to move away and open up a new bakery in another town? Or do you think Pinkie Pie taking over the bakery is a temporary thing while the Cake family goes on vacation? Or do you think it's something as simple as the Cakes were just written out of the series, a superfluous element in the more paired down and streamlined (compared to FiM) new show?
