What Is a Strawberry Princess?

Strawberry Princess Party

• A "Strawberry Princess" party is a young girl's party that is centered around the cartoon character Strawberry Shortcake. A "Strawberry Princess" party should feature pink, red, and white tablecloths; invitations that display a Strawberry Shortcake graphic; and strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Strawberry Princess Cake

• Every "Strawberry Princess" party needs a cake to match. If your guests and the "party princess" are not fans of strawberry shortcake, then make a "Strawberry Princess" cake in the shape of a bright red strawberry. To do this, you will need to purchase a strawberry-shaped pan as well as red, black and green icing. It also is nice to have cake decorator's tips to make designs and the seeds on the face of the "Strawberry Princess" cake.

Online Game

• Strawberry Princess also is an online game that is free and available through the All Fun Girls Games website. Essentially, the game is a "dress up" game, in which a user can select a hairstyle, clothing, shoes and accessories for the "Strawberry Princess" simply by clicking on the item, dragging it to the princess (who is like an online paper doll) and releasing the item over the doll's body. Immediately the item, such as a hairstyle or a dress, will snap into place on the doll's body.

Strawberry Princess Costume

• There are "Strawberry Princess" costumes for little girls that feature a sparkly pink dress, a faux-bejeweled crown and white gloves. You can build this costume with faux costume jewelry and glittery dress-up shoes. Strawberry Shortcake has signature red hair, so a fluffy red wig is a nice addition to a dress-up gift.

Strawberry Shortcake Dolls

• Strawberry Shortcake princess dolls come in a variety of designs and are made from a variety of materials. Select a princess doll that is appropriate for the age of the girl for whom you are buying the gift. For example, some princess dolls are plush dolls, so that a young girl can sleep with the doll. Because the doll is plush, it is safe and does not have sharp edges.
