The Gingerbread Boy is the deuteragonist of the Little Audrey short "Tarts and Flowers." He is a dream version of a gingerbread cake that Little Audrey bakes as directed by a radio announcer. In the dream, he pops out of the oven and runs because he "has a date with a cake, and [he's] late," and dares Audrey to run as fast as she can if she wants to go with him. She looks for him, unaware that after he had dumped a tin of flour on the floor, she had ended up in clouds. She finds him with his date, actually, his bride-to-be, Miss Angel Cake.
