Basic Trope: Bakers have sweet personalities.
- Straight: Bob is a friendly and kindhearted baker.
- Exaggerated: All bakers are All Loving Heroes who spend their extra time feeding the homeless and giving out free baked goods to anyone who looks hungry or run-down.
- Downplayed: Bob is a baker and has a semi-hidden soft side.
- Justified: Bob is inherently a Nice Guy, and became a baker so he could make foods that make people happy.
- Inverted: Bob is a baker and is a complete jerk.
- Subverted: Bob the baker whistles as he takes cookies out of the oven and takes them to a nursing home...but later it turns out that Bob is doing community service after getting caught committing a minor crime.
- Double Subverted:
- ...However, later, he meets Alice for lunch and tells her how great this community service project is, because it gives him new places to find people who might get a lift from his baked goods.
- ...but Bob then reveals that his sentence was given for a very minor crime (jaywalking, and maybe it's eventually revealed that he as framed) and the baking helps him deal with whatever aggression he does feel, helping him face the world with happiness on his soul.
- Parodied: ???
- Averted: Bob is a baker and is not noticeably nicer or meaner than anyone else.
- Enforced: The author has fond memories of a relative who was a baker.
- Lampshaded:Alice: Why is it bakers always seem to be sweet as a cupcake?
- Invoked:Alice: Hey, Bob, you know how you like making people happy? Well, those cupcakes of yours make people happy. Why not keep going with that?
- Exploited: People constantly mooch food from Bob without paying, or purchase goods from his bakery on credit, knowing that he's too nice to actually ask for payment.
- Defied: Bob likes helping out people, and knows that his baking makes people happy. But he purposely decides not to be a baker because he thinks he can make more positive changes to his community as a politician.
- Discussed: Bob and Alice discuss about a baker who has a lovable personality, but never interacts with the protagonists within the show.
- Conversed: ???
Back to Sweet Baker. Take a cupcake for the road; you look hungry.
