Yet, sometimes it seems Sweetberry actually ran the place.

The very first iconic setting in G3. The Café and the Castle were the first two playsets in G3. The Café came with Cotton Candy who cooks up a storm. Apparently she is also a storyteller, but this ability only comes up in the book “A Pony’s Tale”. Even though she is a storyteller, she only tells them by the book instead of coming up with a twist of the story she’s telling. She also appears to be a spokespony as seen in Pinkie Pie and the Ladybug Jamboree and Princess Promenade.
