Characters From The 80s
A notable change was the fresh infusion of voices; none of the voice actors from the nostalgic 1980s Strawberry Shortcake specials returned. The producers intentionally ushered in a new era, choosing younger and lesser-known talents to breathe life into these iconic cartoon characters, providing a fresh spin on the beloved narrative.
Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake is this deliciously fragrant world’s primary character and sweet center. This bubbly, resourceful, and considerate redhead has a heart as big as her namesake dessert. With her pink polka-dotted dress and strawberry bonnet, she embodies the charm of the entire franchise.
With her adorable cat Custard, she lives in a strawberry-shaped house in Strawberryland, where she often bakes delightful treats for her friends. The strawberry shortcake character’s charismatic persona has endured through several reimaginations of the series.
Blueberry Muffin
A cherished character, Blueberry Muffin, is Strawberry Shortcake’s studious, intelligent, and polite friend. A lover of books, her character design cleverly integrates her namesake – from her blue hair to her blueberry-themed attire.
She is often seen offering insightful advice to her friends, and her kindness and warm spirit contribute to her popularity among Strawberry Shortcake characters.
Apple Dumplin
Apple Dumplin’ is Strawberry Shortcake’s adorable little sister who made her first appearance in the 1980s series. In the 2003 version, Apple Dumplin’ was given a more prominent role and her character was transformed from a baby to a genius inventor, adding another layer of diversity to the Strawberry Shortcake character lineup.
Lemon Meringue
Another iconic Strawberry Shortcake character is Lemon Meringue, known for her energetic, trendy, and sociable persona. With her love for all things fashion and beauty, she runs the Lemon Salon in Strawberryland.
Lemon Meringue, with her bright yellow wardrobe, lemon-shaped purse, and her pet frog, Frappe, are all delightful testaments to the character’s distinct theme.
Raspberry Torte
Raspberry Torte, a vibrant character, is best known for her passion for fashion. This style guru from Strawberryland always strives to look her best and isn’t afraid to experiment with the latest trends. In the 2003 version of the series, Raspberry Torte runs her boutique, designing and creating her fabulous outfits.

Apricot
Although one of the younger characters, Apricot, introduced in the 1980s series, has left a lasting impression on the fans. In her pink bonnet and baby-blue dress, she represents innocence and sweetness in Strawberryland. Even though she does not feature in the 2003 adaptation, Apricot’s charm and cuteness linger in the fans’ memories.
Plum Puddin
In the early stages of the franchise, Plum Puddin’ played a minor character, but she claimed her spot as one of Strawberry’s main friends in 2009. During the 1980s TV specials, Plum Puddin‘, intriguingly, was a male character accompanied by an owl named Elderberry.
As the series evolved, Plum transformed into a female character, embodying intelligence and scientific acumen. Her character remained brainy in the 2003 series, though she took on a clumsier demeanor.
Despite her late introduction in the 2003 generation, where she only featured in four episodes and played an active role in just two, Plum Puddin’ left a lasting impression with her unique and engaging character traits.

While her interests may fluctuate, she consistently maintains her sweet demeanor across all generations. As a friend, she’s known for her loyalty and selflessness.
Huckleberry Pie

The first season planned for 40 episodes, and the development of a second season was already underway.
