The post continued: “A lot of tears, big and tiny, have been shed. Our hearts are broken, to say the least, and Cheffy is at a loss for words. Chef and Mish Pinny had a bond that you only see once every few lifetimes and watching the two of them together was a gift to anyone lucky enough to witness it. The Team put together this tribute to our favorite girl for Chef and for all of you.

“We appreciate all the LUB and support you show Chef on a daily basis, and he could certainly use a little extra sent his way this week. Instead of our normal videos, we will be sharing ALL the sweet moments of Cheffy and Mish Pinny we’ve captured over the years, to honor her. Fank you, Mish Pinny for being our best gal. You stole our hearts and touched our lives. Lub yew forever.”

Miss Penny was not a featured character in the televised series but became known to fans through social media updates connected to Tiny Chef.

The Tiny Chef Show premiered on Nickelodeon in 2022 after the character first gained popularity online through stop-motion cooking shorts. In late 2025, Nickelodeon announced the series would not return for a second season. However, the programme was later revived following a crowdfunding campaign launched by its creators.
