"This was a very cute movie both my neice (3 1/2yr) and I really enjoye this movie. It has some catchy little songs that you will find yourself singing throught the day...even if you don't want to. This video shares fun recipes that your daughter will want to make with you more than likely because it's Strawberry's and the insert has 2 printed out recipes. This movie isn't all about cooking. It has a story where Apple Dumplin has a dream that she is Strawberry's age and Strawberry and all of her friend become the babies and she has to "take care" of them. My neice really enjoyed that story and she was really excited that all of Strawberry's friends were back for this movie since they were no where to be found in the Berry Fairy Tales! Your little one will be pleased with this movie."
Cooking Up a Treat for Strawberry Shortcake and Apple Dumpli

""Strawberry Shortcake: Cooking Up Fun" is a berry wonderful delight for fans of Strawberry Shortcake and/or her sister Apple Dumplin'. You get two stories from the show --- "Baby Takes the Cake" and "Piece of Cake."
In "Baby Takes the Cake," Apple Dumplin' is excited about the idea of helping Strawberry and her friends with cooking, but they all seem to think she's too little. When they finally give him something to do, she's put down for a nap, much to her consternation. She does fall asleep though and has a dream in which she imagines she's their age --- and they're all babies! This episode has two fun songs, both performed by Apple Dumplin', and some great cooking lessons and fun humor.
The second story finds Strawberry and her friends deciding to create their very own cooking show, to be broadcast throughout Strawberry Land. Everybody has their own ideas for the show, but they learn that sometimes not everyone can be the star, at least not all at once.
This is another winning installment in the "Strawberry Shortcake" series. The characters and songs are generally cheery and fun, the animation is pleasing for the eyes and the lessons are useful and generally age-appropriate. The DVD comes with a bonus music video --- "The Cooking Show," as well as a free cookbook and sticker set."
Great for the youngest fans

"My two-year old daughter really identifies with Apple Dumplin' in this one. Since she's the youngest of 4 kids and is often left out of the older kids' activities, she loves Apple Dumplin's songs "I'm Not Too Little" and "Big Like Me" and we often watch just the first part of the DVD for those two songs. I agree with all the other reviews, too. It's a great video."
"My daughter and I really enjoyed this video. Comes with a cute cookbook inside. which surprisingly has a good sugar cookie recipie! :)"
Love it!

"I bought this for my daughter, who was 3 years old at the time. She LOVES it! She's now 4, and still watches it all the time. She never tires of this one, or the few others that we have. The songs are cute, and the stories are great.
I love that this particular DVD comes with a mini cookbook, as I like to have my daughter cook with me. The only thing that my daughter and I have made out of it was the pumpkin pie, and it was absolutely THE BEST pumpkin pie I've ever had."
