[[/folder]]

* PreciousPuppy: As always, he's an adorably dog who tags along with the Berry Besties in their day-to-day adventures.

[[JustifiedTrope Justified as Lemon intentionally modeled the Cakenator after Strawberry, so it would literally feel like there's two of her working together.

!! Supporting Characters

* AdaptationalVillainy: She's normally a NiceGirl in most versions, but this Raspberry's written as an AlphaBitch.

** He didn't research the places he claims to get the ingredients from, so when Strawberry asks him what his favorite place between the Berryville Pumpkin Patch or Orange Grove, he responds with both, at which point Strawberry reveals neither exist due to the small size of the town, which likewise exposes his scheme to his customers.

* RhymesOnADime: He's a showman, and almost every sentence he speaks is a rhyme to entertain his crowd with.

* StraightGay: Lime Pops isn't dramatic and flamboyant like his husband, and acts fairly ordinary.

[[caption-width-right:600:Figgy Pudding]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: The Cakenator 6 is unable to comprehend the concept of love, which results in her [[MadeOfExplodium death]].

* {{Hunk}}: One of his most prominent design traits is his enormous muscular arms.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Unlike other unique background characters like Peach Trifle or Buttermilk Beignet, he's only been referred to as "Bodybuilder Berry". WordOfGod has said that [[https://x.com/mktoon/status/1714685308871278717?s=20 they've referred to him as "Strawberry Beefcake"]], however.
* RunningGag: The fact that he has a somewhat similar appearance to Strawberry leads to her friends mistaking him for her when viewed from behind.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In "Meet Huckleberry Pie", had Lime Chiffon not mistaken him for Strawberry Shortcake and accidentally get separated from her, then Strawberry likely never would've met Huckleberry Pie.

A grandmother who frequents the Berryworks.

* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Her outfit is mocked by Raspberry Tart and Bread Pudding in "Waiting for Genoise", with both calling her clothes tacky.

Mr. Mangosteen's fiance, who's usually seen running odd jobs around Big Apple City.

* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: His appearances usually consist of him working at different jobs, like as a construction worker or the referee for the Berry Bounty Bolt.
* StraightGay: The only indications he's gay is that he spends a lot of time with Mr. Mangosteen, and being called his fiance in "The House on Scary Berry Lane".
* ThoseTwoGuys: Becomes this with Mr. Mangosteen, the two usually seen on dates or spending time together at the Berryworks.
* VocalDissonance: In "The House on Scary Berry Lane", the dust in his new house gives him a sore throat, which makes him sound like a roaring monster. Averted otherwise, as he has a fairly normal voice.

A hippy, usually seen teaching a meditation or yoga class in Golden Delicious Park, or as a customer at the berryworks.

* BerserkButton: Being asked to serve a non-spicy pizza, or trying to get more than one spicy pizza slice. He drops this after the Berry Besties teach him how to make non-spicy pizza.
* CripplingOverspecialization: As probably made clear by now, he was only capable of making spicy pizza until the Berry Besties taught him how to make different kinds.
* FreudianExcuse: The reason why he gets angry when someone asks him for non-spicy pizza is because he only knew how to make spicy foods, until Strawberry taught him how to make different pizza types.
* MobileKiosk: Used to run a hot dog stand. In season 2, he was replaced by a PaletteSwap and in Season 3 he now runs the Spicy Pizza Stand in Starfruit Express.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: His first few appearances he was a hot dog vendor, but after his ADayInTheLimelight episode he's now the owner of a pizza stand in a rollerskating rink.

* MythologyGag: Grandberry Jam is dressed in a similar outfit to the original Strawberry Shortcake.
* PosthumousCharacter: Has passed away at some point. It's implied it happened during the events of the series, as Strawberry refers to Jam in the present tense in "New Year's Wish", but in "Strawberry Shortcake's Perfect Holiday" she is talked about in the past tense by Aunt Praline and Strawberry, though it could also just be a {{Retcon}}.

Said followers all immediately give her a thumbs down and unfollow her after this, effectively ruining her career as an influencer and leaving her reputation in shambles.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: On the internet, Pumpkin appears as an lively and quirky berry. Off camera, she is a self-centered and egotistical celebrity who cares little about the others around her in favor of her own stardom.

* AscendedExtra: Compared to her barely relevant prior incarnation, this Custard gets fairly prominent attention, with several episodes focusing on her and the other Berryworks pets.
* NearlyNormalAnimal: Her ''Berry in the Big City'' incarnation is this from time to time. She's shown the ability to hold objects with her paws, beat people at checkers, skateboard, and she can communicate with the other Berryworks pets despite none of them being the same species.

* NearlyNormalAnimal: His 2021 incarnation. Downplayed compared to the other Berryworks pets, as he usually acts like a normal dog, but he does have some moments. Like playing poker, or doing a [[Platform/TikTok TikTaco]] dance.
%%* PreciousPuppy
* PunnyName: His name is a portmanteau of "puppy" and "cupcake".
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Tom-tom the dog, Huckleberry's pet, becomes this for Pupcake.

[[folder:Cheesecake]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TabithaStGermain (2021)

Blueberry Muffin's pet mouse.

* CivilizedAnimal: The 2021 is the most prominent example of all the Berryworks pets. She basically acts as an assistant to Blueberry Muffin while running the Dreamery Creamery, complete with a miniature clipboard.
* NiceMice: Every version counts as this, due to being the pet mouse of one of the main characters.
* NonverbalMiscommunication: In "It's My Purr-ty" of the 2021 series, when Cheesecake is trying to communicate the word "birthday" to Blueberry Muffin, she interprets it as "Earth Day".

[[folder:Parfait]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TabithaStGermain (2021)

* NearlyNormalAnimal: Like the other Berryworks pets in ''Berry in the Big City'', though unlike them he can actually talk with their owners due to being a parrot.
* PollyWantsAMicrophone: Downplayed in ''Berry in the Big City". Parfait can speak on his own, but he can only say one word at a time.

[[folder:Frappe]]

Lemon Meringue's pet frog.

* MultipurposeTongue: 2021 Frappe uses his tongue like this, whenever the Berryworks pets do a TeamHandStack, or when the pets need him to grab something from far away.
* NearlyNormalAnimal: Only barely qualifies as he usually acts as a normal frog most of the time. He can clearly communicate with the other pets, and very rarely has a moment of thought, like his ImagineSpot of going to a spa in "Go For The Goldenberry".

Huckleberry Pie's pet ferret.

* OutOfFocus: Compared to the other pets, Red Hot makes the least amount of appearances, and is often left out of pet-centric episodes entirely.
