Custom Plum Puddin' Boy Oh Boy !

So much Plum Puddin' Berry Talk
Custom Plum Puddin' Boy Oh Boy !

You may wonder what is all the hype about Plum Puddin'
 (or Plum Pudding to some)
Well it all began many years ago in the 1980's. Plum Puddin' was a boy character who was created to be the guy pal to Huckberry. Several animated cartoons were released with this cute brainy character that was "the go to guy" for anything that required higher learning. He was also featured in many Strawberry Shortcake greeting cards , books and a pillowcase fabric to name a few.




Well, turns out that the Plum Puddin' boy character would not turn up on the merchandising list as an articulated doll. Due to the popularity of the gal dolls, the first boy doll Huckleberry did not do as well which caused the folks at American Greetings to reconsider Plum Puddin' being a boy character.He was re-invented as a girl character with just as much smarts as her male persona.







This left many wanting Plum Puddin' as a male character as he is featured in "The World of Strawberry Shortcake".



That's were Strawberry Shortcake Doll customizers came in and filled in the gap.The very doll that inspired me to begin to create custom dolls was a Custom Plum Puddin' that was created by Jennifer Bowles of Strawberry Bonkers .She had a very popular News letter in the 90's and was also a huge part of three very popular Strawberry Shortcake collectors books.Thanks to her there is a Plum's Place Custom Paradise today and also the inspiration for the name of my Custom Shop "Plum's Place".Below are some affiliate links to purchase Jennifer Bowles Strawberry Shortcake collector books.I own them all and recommend them all as well:
