Title: Strawberry Shortcake item?
Post by: luckdragon on Wednesday 13 August 2014, 04:23 pm: I found this at a thrift store months ago for $1.21. It says it's copyrighted for TCFC (Those Characters From Cleveland), so I thought it was Strawberry Shortcake. Especially because it smells like strawberries when you open it.

I've searched ebay and Strawberry Shortcake websites. Can't find it.

Definitely is Strawberry Shortcake because the design is nearly exact to the hoiuses that came out. Such as the strawberry above the door and curled door rims.
Knockoff? I don't know

Edit:
I also found this old listing for the figure listed and it definitely does seem to point to being some kind of cake decoration like pikapal said. So maybe you could decorate the cake with the figures then use the little house case to play with them later. :)

Thanks!
