Raspberry Torte is BACK!!! With Rhubarb the Racoon!
The decision to change Raspberry's name is due to the connotation of "Tart" in today's society, per AG.

Thank you to everyone for their generousity with the donations to RMH!!!
for the questions collectors had this past year at Convention 2005...
Raspberry Torte
Will there be other boy characters?
Will Apricot and Hopsalot come back?
Will there ever be an “intellectual” character and/or a character with glasses? (Like Plum Pudding)
Why did they change Almond Tea's name to Tea Blossom?
Is Crepes Suzette a remake of the original Suzette, or a grown-up version of Cherry Cuddler?
What scent will Frosty Puff be?
Is there any news on more new International friends dolls? I know Crepes and Tea are coming out, and I inferred that Café Ole will be coming out when the Latino line launches, but what about Lem and Ada? Mint Tulip?
How much of a chance is there that Lime, Butter Cookie, and Apricot will finally be remade? I’m guessing soon, because they are the only regular dolls left who haven't been remade, and a bear that looks to be Jelly Bear was on one of the new SSC baby blankets.
What is the deal with Rainbow Sherbet’s toucan? The activity book we got calls him "Triple Ripple Toucan." The Target exclusive RS says her pet is "Triple Dip Toucan," and I swear I've heard "Triple Treat Toucan.".
Raspberry Torte is into sport. This girl’s got game in any sport you can name and loves to compete. She’s always confident—sometimes to the point of cockiness. She has a sarcastic way of saying things, and she’s so sure of herself that sometimes she talks long before she thinks--and hurts someone’s feelings. But she’s not cruel and is quick as a sprint to apologize and ask for forgiveness, too. Her home at Raspberry Fields is a regular gym/spa, where the other girls often come to feel the burn and get into shape. She’s a good coach, too, and helps others. Her speech is spiced with sports phrases and “Just Do it “-style encouragement.
While the door isn’t completely shut on introducing another boy or two, they usually don’t do that well as product (i.e. toys). If we do introduce a new boy character(s), it would likely be either in videos or books.
It’s possible, but we’re not sure yet. Apple Dumplin’ hasn’t performed as well as needed to make the decision to introduce more baby/toddler characters an easy one.
We can’t make any promises, but that could happen. Plum’s “bookworm” role has been somewhat filled by the new Blueberry Muffin, whose house full of books and costumes gets the kids using their imaginations.
It actually came down to it being a more attractive and politically correct name.
Crepes Suzette is a reworked Crepes Suzette. The cherry motif was picked because it introduced a different color palette.
The scent has not been completely decided yet, but we are leaning towards it being a fruit scent versus a candy scent.
Café Ole will not be reintroduced. If we do a new Latina doll, it will be a brand new character. Also, no current plans to reintroduce Mint Tulip. However, we have not ruled out bringing back Lem and Ada.
No immediate plans for Lime and Butter Cookie. We’ve not ruled out bringing back Apricot (see answer above.) Any resemblance of the bear in the baby blankets to Jelly Bear is purely coincidental.
Purely a mistake during the approval/proofing process. Correct name is Triple Ripple Toucan.
