They were created for Friends Forever Issue 12 by writer Barbara Randall Kesel, with the script description "The two sisters running the cart are plush avatars of pony happiness: they resemble the treats" "in their shiny colorful way.They[sic] have their manes done up in rounded buns with shiny hairnets." "Their hooves are bedazzled to match their ‘noms. They appear friendly, prosperous, and well-fed." They were designed by artist Brenda Hickey, who took design inspiration from Japanese Sweet Lolita fashion, was asked "Are they from the Lollipop-Guild [sic]?" and replied "That is likely what their origin story is!", and later stated that "they're not a reference." They were color-designed by colorist Heather Breckel.
