==Depiction in the series==
===Season five===
Sugar Belle first appears in The Cutie Map - Part 1 to serve the Mane Six self-baked muffins during their stay at Our Town, but without her cutie mark, her muffins are unappetizing to Pinkie Pie, who says she's "accidentally eaten cardboard tastier than that".
She briefly overhears the six friends bickering and questions if their friendship is ending. She is later confused when she finds that the six have made peace and takes a keen interest in how they can remain friends despite their differences. Realizing she is being watched, she and two other ponies who share her curiosity—Party Favor and Night Glider—meet the Mane Six in private and express their desire to have their old cutie marks again. They inform the six about the vault in which their marks are kept, inadvertently leading them into a trap laid by Starlight Glimmer.
 In The Cutie Map - Part 2, when Fluttershy appears to convert to the town's ways, Starlight Glimmer asks her to identify the ponies who told the Mane Six about the vault. Party Favor takes the blame for Sugar Belle and Night Glider, protecting them from punishment.
Later, Fluttershy exposes to the villagers that Starlight still has her original cutie mark. Realizing she and the others have been deceived, Sugar Belle reclaims her old cutie mark and helps the Mane Six recover their marks from Starlight alongside Party Favor, Night Glider, and Double Diamond. During the pursuit, Sugar Belle creates pies from snow to throw at Starlight. After Starlight escapes, Sugar Belle remains at the village with the other ponies, excited to bake delicious recipes again.
She appears again at the end of The Cutie Re-Mark - Part 2, where she and the other ponies at the village are shown forgiving Starlight for her actions.

 In Hard to Say Anything, Sugar Belle appears as the object of affection for both Big McIntosh and another stallion named Feather Bangs. Where Big Mac attempts to win Sugar Belle's heart through apple deliveries and fairy tale-inspired approaches, Feather Bangs does so with his swagger and smooth talk. After a heated musical battle between Big Mac and Feather Bangs results in damage to her bakery, Sugar Belle rejects both of them.
With the help of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Big Mac eventually wins Sugar Belle's heart by repairing the damage to her bakery and building a new, much larger display case for her desserts. Sugar Belle reveals that she likes Big Mac as well, and they begin a romantic relationship.
In It Isn't the Mane Thing About You, Sugar Belle makes a brief cameo appearance walking with Big Mac at Sweet Apple Acres.
===Season eight===
 In The Break Up Break Down, Sugar Belle and Big Mac celebrate Hearts and Hooves Day together, but when Big Mac overhears her conversation with Mrs. Cake, he assumes that she wants to break up with him. As a result of this miscommunication, Big Mac tries to break up with her first. It is later revealed, however, that Sugar Belle is taking a part-time apprenticeship under Mrs. Cake in Ponyville, meaning she and Big Mac can spend more time together. With the misunderstanding cleared up, Big Mac escorts Sugar Belle to the Hearts and Hooves Day surprise he planned for her.
In Marks for Effort, Sugar Belle briefly appears waiting for Big Mac, who now has more time to spend with her after his chores are completed by Cozy Glow. In The Washouts, she walks out of the stadium with Big Mac following the Washouts' first show.

During One More Day, she watches Rarity rush out of Carousel Boutique, and Big Mac kisses her underneath some mistletoe. She later talks to Burnt Oak in the marketplace while Applejack talks to her friends. During The True Gift of Gifting, she and Big Mac are seen looking out at the snowy night sky.
===Season nine===
 In The Last Crusade, Sugar Belle appears alongside Big Mac during CMC Appreciation Day. In The Big Mac Question, Sugar Belle plans a surprise to propose marriage to Big Mac (unaware that Big Mac is planning to do the same), but Spike, Discord, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Mrs. Cake's attempts to help get in the way. Eventually, Sugar Belle and Big Mac both propose to each other, and they get married under the same tree Big Mac's parents planted when they were married.
In The Ending of the End - Part 2, Sugar Belle gathers with the Earth ponies alongside Big Mac and his family in Ponyville when they confront Mayor Mare regarding the tensions between the pony races. She later celebrates with the rest of Equestria's citizens following the defeat of Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow. In The Last Problem, she appears in flashbacks attending Twilight's coronation with Big Mac and his family, and comforts Big Mac when he feels ashamed of the mix-up with his apple deliveries. In the future, she is revealed to be living at Sweet Apple Acres and raising a son with Big Mac. Sugar Belle also appears alongside Big Mac in Applejack's group shot during The Magic of Friendship Grows.
