@Ponypon: Yes, probably they want to tell us it is not that complicated.

@PonyPon - I'm sure that was no accident.

I can picture the writers and animators talking to each other over the episode:

"Okay, so to make things even harder on Pinkie Pie, the Cakes' kids are a pegasus AND a unicorn."
"But the Cakes are Earth ponies."
"So? Maybe ponies can cross-breed."
"That implies Mrs. Cake was fooling around on her husband. You want to run that past Standards and Practices?"
"So.....have Mr. Cake explain that they have unicorns and pegasi in their family tree?"
"Yeah, ancestors....that's the ticket...."

[looking over the storyboards]

"Dude, you're making Mr. Cake look like he doesn't believe his own explanation."
"Who says he does?"

He actually had the classic "I'm trying to convince myself" look.

When Mr. Cakes was explaining why the foals are different types of ponies, was that an example of "lampshade hanging"?

^ More like a Voodoo Shark. His tack on of "that's plausible, right" is lampshade hanging.

Actually, it's simple genetics:

Race:
The race of the pony is determined by alleles. Pegasi and Unicorns are of course recessive as Earth Ponies are the most common race. The allele for a Pegasus is pp, the allele for a Unicorn is uu. Therefore, a Pegasus would be ppUU or ppUu, a Unicorn would be PPuu or Ppuu, an Earth Pony would be PPUU, PpUU, PPUu, or PpUu, and an Alicorn would be ppuu as a result of co-dominance. However, Alicorns can only come into existence if the mother is an Alicorn, despite what a Punnet Square says.

Color:
The color of the pony is determined by co-dominance and incomplete dominance. The S superscript determines how dark or light the color is. An SS or Ss means that the color is dark, an ss means that the color is light. Colors are determined by the three main colors from which all colors come; RR and Rr for red, YY and Yy for yellow, and BB and Bb for blue. Therefore orange would be RY or Ry, green would be BY or By, and purple would be RB or Rb. Similarly, dark orange would be RSYS, RSYs, RSyS, or RSys, and light orange would be RsYs or Rsys. The rest is easy when you think about it.

QUIZ TIME:
Which of the mane6 does this genotype represent with the format [RaceBodyColorManeColor(s)TailColor(s)]:
