Strawberry Shortcake Bake Shop Reviews

by CTZinn06

We bought the full game quite a while ago for our daughter. She loved it, so we bought all of the possible deserts so she would have plenty to do. Now the game has changed to a subscription model, so she’s limited to just a few options unless we want to subscribe for a monthly fee that, quite frankly, seems way too steep for such a basic game. We’re quite unhappy with the change. We’ve tried restoring purchases as some other reviewers were advised to do, but the items she used to have access to are still locked so that she has to ‘earn’ them through play through. This seems ridiculous and unfair, since not too long ago she could use them and now she just suddenly can’t.
We’re subscribed to the Barbie Dreamhouse game from the same developer because she also loved that one and it was the only option for purchase at the time we found it, but I refuse to pay for a second monthly subscription for a children’s game. It made sense to subscribe to Barbie because there’s tons of dolls and things, but the Bake Shop game is much simpler and we already paid full price to unlock everything. It would be totally ridiculous to subscribe to it to earn back things that used to be included like the electric mixer.

I’ve been playing this game for three years and I had a fun experience at first but then it got boring because I only had the cake one and I couldn’t get cupcakes or the donut or the princess cake or any of the colors or different ovens so after three years of playing that game I did the same thing over and over trying to think that I would unlock a new level never did so after three years of playing I deleted the game it was very fun at first but then it got really boring so I really hated the game but I’m going to download it again to see if it was really that boring and I think it’s still real but I’m not too sure so yeah and it’s been a big big talk so I guess I’m just gonna download the game but if I don’t like it I’m gonna delete it again

I have been playing this game for 7 years. I earned everything through game play with no $ purchases. With the latest update I lost “Everything” I had worked so hard to earn. Now you have to have 3 stars to earn ONE thing and you can only earn ONE star a day...or, subscribe to the Bakers club for $6.99/month. I understand the need to cover the developers game cost, however I believe the monthly cost far exceeds this. Most “free games” include “in app purchases for specific items” that are fairly reasonable. This “Bakers Club”, however is inflated. I do not recommend downloading StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop until or if this issue is resolved.

I downloaded StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop for my little brother. He enjoyed it at first and when I watched him play, he couldn’t make the request. This game is too expensive for kids. I can’t pay, cause I’m only 10. And I don’t want to use my Mom’s credit card. All of the kitchen tools and cakes should be free. Then I would give you five stars. I used to play this game when I was 3 years old, everything was free! My parents didn’t purchase anything. But now, this is not fair. I’m uninstalling this game! It ain’t fun. Other strawberry shortcake games, you will have to pay to unlock everything. I don’t like how Strawberry shortcake talks. She talks all the time. If you are looking forward to download this game as a kid, nah! Don’t do it!! But if you’re an adult, that’s your own opinion.

Every single game this company makes is a cash grab. It’s obnoxious. This game in particular has one thing you can do for free. If you want to do more you can but it costs upwards of $10 and there is also a monthly subscription. I’m done with it. There is a separate app for everything too. Oh you want to paint nails, cool, but the toe nail salon is a different app. So you think you’re buying the full salon only to find out that there is yet another app costing more money. If they made it reasonable I’d be more interesting in paying. But I’m not. And I’m not doing a monthly subscription either. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♀️I love how Scrubbie pets crayola does it, no fee, kids unlock more pets as they go, no apps. And guess what. In real life we’ve bought every single one of the Scrubbie pets. Greedy.

Strawberry Shortcake was a huge part of my childhood so when I saw this game I thought I would download it and play for a few hours. Well the beginning started off fun and was really cute but after baking 2 cakes I find out that to bake any other recipes you HAVE to pay $5 a month just to bake a few items in a virtual game. Thats honestly ridiculous considering this game is marketed to children who have no concept of money or monthly subscriptions. I find this very predatory. I understand permanent in game purchases which is what the game used to previously have but the fact you have to continuously pay just means this game is nothing but a cash grab. Super disappointed.

My daughter enjoyed decorating cakes, so I decided to expand the game features by making a few in app purchases in 2018. This week she noticed those packages were again locked. I followed the instructions in the game to try to restore the purchases but nothing seemed to work. In total, I spent over two hours trying to resolve this issue and now this experience has impacted my perception of free games that require purchases to unlock more features. These games cater to young children, but doesn’t offer much until you purchase at least two packages (2.99 a package). Once purchased, the game is entertaining enough but becomes a extreme nuisance when it stops working. Due to the game’s poor ability to recover purchases, I cannot recommend this game.

I got this game for my little sister, expecting it to be fun after about one hour of playing she came to me crying saying that she couldn’t beat the level I tried to play it but little did I know that you had to pay five dollars a month, like what’s the point, mine as well say you have to pay $100 to get one sprinkle in this game like absolutely not it was fun at first but now it’s just stupid I will delete this game because it’s not fun at all you only get two cakes out of everything else you should not get this game whoever made this game needs to tell us that it is free because it’s not fun when it’s not free because then what’s the point there’s no funniness in it if you were to say that it was totally free I bet you you’d have 5.5 ratings so that’s like 100% maybe if you were to change the bed it would be a little bit more funner.

I was excited to tell my kiddos that StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop was adding new content. They loved it so much I had purchased to unlock everything quite awhile ago. But now your telling me I’d have to pay every month to unlock everything. That’s just not ok with me as a parent. I’d already paid your one time unlock everything fee I should still have that same purchase. Very disappointing my kids will be sad to see this game get deleted & im not happy that my purchase is now null & void. Anyways if your not I’ll to pay a subscription don’t get it. There’s not enough “free” to keep your kid entertained and happy seeing so much locked

by A Girl Rock

The game is very good but I’m a little upset on how you can’t make your own cake do you have to follow instructions it’s very uncool and I am pretty sure that when you get to the pantry there’s no way out and I can’t get out I keep tapping on things nothing works I even tapped on Barry so I am an eight-year-old who likes it but needs changes so please take my request here they are: request number one let you make your own cake request number two make more customers or take pictures with your desserts those are my requests please take them and put them in an update if it does progress loss then don’t

Hello! I have had such good memories playing this game on my tablet! I absolutely loved Strawberry Shortcake as a kid. Once I found it again, I was so happy to see that it was still functioning! Thank you so much for still making me remember my childhood memories! M childhood was rough, and by the time I was on the last dessert, I was already 9. I stopped playing it, but I don’t know why! So cute! Some things I would suggest is not making you pay to get more desserts! I really wanted to make an ice cream sundae without paying. :(
(Sorry, English isn’t my first language. So, if have spelled something wrong, sorry.)

To be serious, if you want your game to be more successful then don't make it impossible to progress unless the player pays real currency. This isn't fair especially since your target audience is supposedly children. It's gatekeeping. Instead, make an in-game currency and maybe special levels or secret ingredients can be unlocked with real currency. But not some crazy price like $9.99 for some blueberry toppings. This is coming from a business standpoint. Stop. Gatekeeping. Your. Games. It's why people complain so much. Make people WANT to pay you, not be forced into it.

by Streliteia

Could you add data password to this game??
Because I lost all my data and I had almost all the cakes
And I am really sad that I could not get it because my goal
Was to get all the cakes you could get in the game and I am really sad because now I have to start over again :C
I would like you to add like you have to make a password if you delete the game and you want is back and then you just need to put your password to get your data you had before. :) GAME IS Great tho!!

by Mewplaz

I played this game when I was little little and I do not remember the star bakers club! I rather it be like the one with outfit dress up or others why... kids play these games and they might do mistakes like me who almost wasted 50 dollars when you get these games you should be able to play them freely without buying stuff and before you say “transfer you data” that old tablet is long dead... so it’s makes me wanna cry my first memory’s was lying on the couch near the kitchen while my parents fought. I would love to play it.... I don’t like this think of the kids and the parents you made many people like myself cry because it’s not the same.... please fix it

by TayTotTime26

Like many, I played this game when I was a lot younger. I bought the whole version and this game is probably the reason why I’m so into baking now! I didn’t have a problem with it back then. Now, I look back and download it and she a few problems. You can’t even pass the third level without spending money... there aren’t even that many combos you can make without the paid version (excluding all toppings of course, it could go on forever)

by Yay My Kids

So first of this game is good I played it when I was 5 but a problem.... the one that wants the blue cake with the blue berrys I can't do!!! I would need to pay and my mom does not let me and make more free items pleaseeeee!!

Edit:sorry my English lol!

So, I was 5 when I got my tablet and the first thing and many things I had on it was budge games. Sadly my child memories of that tablet are gone due to it breaking. I could’ve electrocuted myself because literally I saw the circuits and the boards and for some reason I liked to take off MORE of that glass, I got a new tablet .-. Anywho while scrolling through StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop Store I found this, got obsessed and every game downloaded is by you, childhood memories are coming back 😁

by Miahgutierrezayyyy

So I was playing this game because my cousin wanted to download StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop because she is 13 and she wanted to play her childhood game which is strawberry shortcake bake shop and I played it a little bit and I started getting 2 stars and it told me to fill the order but I couldn’t because I did not have the blue color and I thought if they wanted me to fill this order then why did they not give me the blue color kinda confusing but I love the game and hey I may be 9 but I Love the game 💝💝🍓🍰

I use to play this game as a toddler 24 7 and now I have started playing again as a 9 year old and still love it. I love that you can bake on here and than save the recipe to bake it RIL. Love all the creativity. Although it is fun, I don't like how you have to have the Star bakers trial to get some of the recipes and that to to get the Star bakers trial you have to give private information. I think a change should be made so that the Star bakers trial is so that you can share your recipes and you don't have to give private information. And that all the recipes are available for free. With that I think you should get the game if you love cute happy and baking. And like in every review #RESCUETHEWILD!

I just wanted to hop on here and say this was litterally one of my fav games as a little one and I know there are so many littles playing it right now and I used to play this game all the time with my cousins. We loved it and played to when we would have sleepovers and We would try to sneak it in even during family dinners. Me and my cousins would always play this wherever we went and also even.... my brother would play!!?!?! I know right BOYS can play too I loved how we always got so engaged into this action packed game! Currently I love to bake and this game did give me inspiration! Love y’all!! Bye!

by GirlyGamerLover

I used to love playing this game cause, if you did not know this already, I like helping out in the kitchen, minus the sharp knifes and the hot oven, but one day I got on here to find that I
lost all my progress. I didn’t know what to do about that situation, but when I tried to buy the pack, it was like so expensive that I couldn’t buy it. I was so devastated and disappointed when I wound up deleting it. Now, I really want this back on my iPad, but I don’t know what to do about my progress. Can you help me... please?

StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop is great for baking and my daughter loves playing strawberry shortcake and as a mother I decided to purchase the package and paid full. And my daughter was able to play all the desserts and was very fun because StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop comes with recipes from playing the game what fun! Before you know weeks and months went by playing enjoying the game I purchased my daughter can't play but says to pay again for all the dessert that was already paid for!!!!
This is a rip off! How dare you cheat us from which we paid for? I give you no stars if I could.

by Killagarilla

What can I say? You are too aggressive with your in app purchases. I purchased another one of your Strawberry shortcake apps for my little girl, which allowed a bit more content before forced in app purchases.

I watched as she laughed and played, experimenting with the many free options. I was much more inclined to purchase the remainder of the content. But StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop? You allow ONE cake?

I’m far less inclined due to your perceived greed. Unfortunately, you will drag this BRAND into the category of exploiting children for profit.

by ChocoTacoooo34

I am nine and love the Berry bitty show, but why do you make ALL the cool tools money and ALL the upgraded ovens and stuff money and only ONE Dessert is available? I am not going to play the same recipe the whole time I wait at my Doctor Appointments! What’s even worse is that Blueberry Muffin is my Fave character, but all your games lock her out! You have to pay money for the other girls. Stinker! I say this is a greedy hog app who wants to dry out a little kid’s Birthday money! I could spend it on a pack of Skittles or some awesome clothes, not some app who obviously can’t just stop seeing kids mad! Disappointed..100% Disappointed.

I was making a cake and the ingredients were moving I didn’t know if it was a bug or glitch then the whole game started glitching and the candles blowed them self out I tried logging out and in again but it still was glitching and now the game was crashing now so I had no more choices just to delete it and get it again sense the game was glitching my whole inside of my phone was glitching so I had to delete the game for good and I miss this game and so I got a new game to replace it but it’s not fun and glitched to so I deleted it to and this time I did not replace it .😢💔😭

by Lamorena624

Ok well when I was playing Strawberry Shortcake Bake Shop, things weren’t the way I expected them to be. Whenever I am about to bake my cake, the iPad freezes. I wait and this thing just shows up and says, loading! So I do not know what happens after I bake my cake. But the other parts like mixing the batter and pouring the ingredients in are kinda fun, but I don’t enjoy the part when it comes to baking the cake. Do I deleted StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop and now I am re - downloading it. I hope I can finally know what will happen next after baking my cake. 😒

by AliSallyReviews

I used to Love this game and I thought it was the best budge game ever, and I’m (just turned yesterday) nine. I loved it so much I used my own money not my parents to pay for everything then I get my new iPad and I was so happy cuz the game would work better! Then I open StrawberryShortcakeBakeShop , and nothing is backed up! And then I thought “This is a stupid waste of flipping money and I know what I just said. Thanks I now close my statement of this stupid app

by Nicole Ch

Hi! My name is Priscilla and I purchased some stuff in this game worth of ten dollars and well there is a button where you can get your money back, which is really helpful, except, it wouldn’t give me back my money!!! I tried a lot of times and it says I didn’t purchase anything, even though I did, and, it shows a check mark ✅ next to the things I bought. By the way, I bought all the desserts.

by Parie!!!

Good news: I love baking and you can make it real, but, Bad news: MONEY! You can just have Strawberry Shortcake for free. I mean, COME ON! NOTHING ELSE! It would be so much EASIER IF MORE THINGS WERE FREE!!! Also, Strawberry is saying that you SHOULD buy it, witch makes it even WORSE! But you can see who the dessert is for, and then you can make it especially for her. But do you HAVE to tilt?

by Ihvuyvgu

I love this game because you can come up with many different desserts although some of them require in app purchases. And fill in orders from strawberry Shortcake’s friends But on the first one you get to make your own which I think was good. But then you have to fill in the orders and some of the stuff they wanted was locked so I brought everything Pretty expensive though I also didn’t want to fail any orders so thanks! I love baking!

by Hutttttttttttttttttttttttttt

It is a really unique game and it is really fun and inspiring,but the levels are a little hard to unlock,but the game to me is really good and when I first tried I was like I like this but then it started getting a little boring but if I knew how to unlock games then I would be more interesting in it but so far it is a really great game

by FALLING POTATO

This is a great game for little kids my 5 year old sister has it but I don’t. we both love it. It’s really fun to play when you have free time. At the end it actually gives you the real recipe after your done. I just have a few suggestions: 1. I think you should add more cakes and stuff to bake like cake pops, ice cream, donuts, and more. 2. Make the stuff look more realistic, it looks so weird.
3. Add more free stuff, I bought the stuff but just make it free please.

by Icakditlow

This game is fun and gives actual recipes but after update I can’t get it to restore my previous purchase. I discovered that I had to close it out and go back after a bit and try again. The purchases then worked correctly.
