Listed here are characters from the 1980s version of the Strawberry Shortcake franchise. For information on the updated 2000s Strawberry Shortcake and her friends, see List of 2003 Strawberry Shortcake characters.
Strawberry Shortcake
Introduced in "The World of Strawberry Shortcake" (1980). Strawberry Shortcake is the protagonist and the title character of the Strawberry Shortcake franchise. She is a bright and energetic little girl with red hair and freckles, said to be about six years old. She usually wears a red dress with a white pinafore, and a large pink bonnet decorated with strawberries. In her earliest adventures, Strawberry's home was a shortcake surrounded by well-tended strawberry vines, but in 1983 she moved into her "Berry Happy Home", a large and ornate mansion. Strawberry is kind, resourceful, and always ready to help a friend in need.
Huckleberry Pie
Introduced in "The World of Strawberry Shortcake" (1980).
Huckleberry Pie is one of Strawberry Shortcake's friends, who lives, not surprisingly, in a large Huckleberry Pie-shaped cabin, just down the road from Strawberry Shortcake's house. The obvious inspiration for his character was Mark Twain's literary creation Huckleberry Finn. Huck bore more than a passing resemblance to the more famous Huck Finn, from his straw hat and overalls to his tendencies towards fishing and general laziness. Huckleberry Pie was, for the most part, the sole boy character in a female-dominated franchise, a condition that prevails even into the 2003 reintroduction of the show.
In the 1980s series, Huckleberry Pie was voiced by a female, Julie McWhirter.
Blueberry Muffin
Introduced in "The World of Strawberry Shortcake" (1980).
Blueberry Muffin has been Strawberry Shortcake's friend since the very beginning. In the 1980s, the character was depicted with blue hair in pigtails. Speaking with a Southern drawl, she was also characterized as being more than a little forgetful. Both of these traits were downplayed as the series progressed.
Apple Dumplin'
Introduced in "The World of Strawberry Shortcake" (1980).
Apple Dumplin' was the first of many "baby" characters introduced in the vast world of Strawberry Shortcake. Smaller and less independent than the older Strawberryland kids, Apple has also proven to be more than capable of taking care of herself when the situation warrants. Apple's hair is bright orange, and her pet is Tea Time Turtle. Being just a little baby, she doesn't speak as yet, but has surprisingly good penmanship skills.
Raspberry Tart
Introduced in "The World of Strawberry Shortcake" (1980).
Another of Strawberry Shortcake's earliest friends, Raspberry Tart lived up to her name in the 1980s, a tart-tongued individual with a gift for a cutting remark! She was considered really more thoughtless than truly malicious by her friends.
Plum Puddin'
Introduced in "The World of Strawberry Shortcake" (1980).
The last of Strawberry Shortcake's original 1980s friends, Plum Puddin' was the bespectacled genius of the group. A surprisingly non-token second male character in Strawberry's early adventures, Plum Puddin' vanished from Strawberryland in 1982, only to return to the series in 1984 as a brainy female. Strawberry Shortcake seemed not to notice. Plum remained Strawberry Shortcake's scientific advisor through the franchise's disbanding in 1985.
Orange Blossom
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City" (1981).
Strawberry Shortcake met urban artist Orange Blossom during her trip to Big Apple City in 1981. Orange Blossom followed Strawberry home at the conclusion of her trip, and has been at her side ever since. Interestingly, Orange Blossom's pet butterfly, Marmalade, actually pre-dates the introduction of Orange Blossom's character, and the two were merchandised as a team a year before "Pets On Parade" supplied every resident of Strawberryland with an animal companion.
Lemon Meringue
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City" (1981).
Another of Strawberry Shortcake's new friends from her trip to Big Apple City, Lemon Meringue is a primping beauty known around the city as a famous model. When pressed for details, however, she admits that her "pictures" are mostly owned by members of her immediate family. It seems unlikely that a glamorous girl such as Lemon Meringue would choose a frog for a pet. But it is actually because of the fact that Frappe' in no way competes with Lemon's beauty that they get along so well.
T.N. Honey
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City" (1981).
T.N. Honey, a brilliant British scientist, is a rather obscure character in the Strawberry Shortcake pantheon. "Big Apple City" marked her singular appearance in a Strawberry Shortcake adventure, although she was also featured in occasional American Greetings card illustrations. T.N. used her scientific expertise to repair Strawberry's oven when it befell sabotage at the hands of The Purple Pie Man at the Big TV Bake-Off. At the end of the "Big Apple City" adventure, T.N. is seen journeying to Strawberryland along with other newcomers such as Orange Blossom and Lemon Meringue. But T.N. Honey was never seen again. Interestingly, Plum Puddin', Strawberry's other glasses-wearing friend, disappeared around this same time. She was voiced by Julie McWhirter.
Apricot
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City" (1981).
Apricot was a little white-haired baby with an unusual vocabulary of oversized words. Apricot and her pet bunny Hopsalot lived in Big Apple City, down the hall from Lemon Meringue and T.N. Honey, and like them, she re-located to Strawberryland at the conclusion of Strawberry Shortcake's visit.
Butter Cookie
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake: Pets on Parade" (1982).
Butter Cookie is probably Strawberry Shortcake's youngest friend ever, a baby just learning to crawl. As such, she hasn't yet developed any interesting personality traits, but is plenty adorable nonetheless.
Lime Chiffon
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake: Pets on Parade" (1982).
Lime Chiffon was a bubbly and flighty ballerina in the 1980s, always dancing and spinning to and fro, with her parrot Parfait, who often seemed to be the intellectual one of the pair.
Cherry Cuddler
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake: Pets on Parade" (1982).
Cherry Cuddler was another baby character, known for her propensity for hugging and being hugged by her friends.
Angel Cake
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake: Pets on Parade" (1982).
Overly polite Angel Cake seemed to take the "Angel" portion of her name a little too seriously. Never missing an opportunity to say "please" and "thank you", she even went so far as to play the harp and wear a halo-shaped headband in her hair. Angel Cake's hair was often depicted as a lavender color in print and on television, but the dolls and toys made by Kenner had white hair. Angel Cake imagined herself as having a weight problem, seeing as angel cakes are supposed to be "light", but was also seen constantly eating candy and ice cream. Her direct quote: "...If you don't think about it, the calories don't count." She adopted her pet skunk Souffle' as part of the action of Strawberry Shortcake's "Pets on Parade" adventure, and quickly put him on a "diet" as well.
Almond Tea
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake's Housewarming Surprise" (1983).
Almond Tea was one of the many new friends met by Strawberry Shortcake during her trip around the world in 1983. A native of the Asian country of China Cup, Almond Tea returned the favor and visited Strawberryland to help Strawberry Shortcake celebrate her move into her Berry Happy Home with a huge housewarming party. A provocative and unexplored facet of Almond Tea's personality is that she is said to possess psychic powers, and was able to, on occasion, see glimpses of the future. Her pet Marza Panda had a similar gift, only it worked in reverse, and only allowed him to see flashbacks.
Café Olé
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake's Housewarming Surprise" (1983).
Strawberry Shortcake's friend from the Mexicocoa leg of her round-the-world trip, Café Olé's name is a play on the coffee beverage Café au lait. She is said to be adept at handicrafts such as weaving.
Crepe Suzette
Introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake's Housewarming Surprise" (1983).
Crepe Suzette met Strawberry Shortcake during the latter's visit to the city of Pair-ee in 1983. She later travelled to Strawberryland to surprise her new friend at her "Berry Happy Home" housewarming party. She is quintessentially French, and speaks English with a thick French
