A Bakery Stop and Strawberry Tea - Candyruru and Chocolala's Little Outings
Two SugarCups girls, two completely different afternoons, and some very good accessories.

SugarCups dolls seem to have excellent plans for an afternoon out. For Candyruru, it begins with the smell of fresh bread from a neighbourhood bakery. Chocolala, meanwhile, is hosting a strawberry-themed tea party. Both have their own little story, and their fashion reflects it.
These are not paired variants of a single product. F.L.C. designed Candyruru's My little girl, while Primrose designed Chocolala's Strawberry Milk Cat. We're comparing them because both outfits turn an ordinary outing into a complete miniature scene.
Candyruru - a bakery stroll in sky blue
The official story imagines Candyruru walking past a bakery in the afternoon, meeting a familiar cat and wondering where to go next. Designer F.L.C. dresses her in a pale blue, classical outfit with a white collar, pleated skirt and little red trim.
The red-ribbon bonnet brings warmth to the blue dress. The shiny black miniature handbag hangs from a gold-coloured chain, while black-and-white striped socks and double-buckle T-strap shoes give the outfit a slightly old-fashioned look. The cat at the bakery is a photography prop in the official story, not a doll accessory listed in the box.
Candyruru's bob haircut is named Cafe Latte Brown, with Milky Gray inset eyes. Azone specifies a cheerful smiling mouth for this design. She uses a Picco Neemo P (Milky White) body, with a soft-vinyl rooted head and Out of Base OB eyes.
The set includes the doll, bonnet, one-piece dress, drawers, socks, shoes, bag and five hand types including those fitted. Product code: PID047-FCM.
Chocolala - a strawberry milk afternoon tea
The afternoon is rather more elaborate for Chocolala - Strawberry Milk Cat, designed in collaboration with Primrose. Azone imagines an afternoon tea filled with strawberries, chocolate and the kind of pretty tableware you'd be afraid to touch.
This version of Chocolala wears a pink-and-purple classical dress piled with ruffles and lace. A soft cat-ear headband, fluffy tail, translucent socks and milk-coloured shoes keep the kitten theme going. Look carefully at the shoes: even the shoes have little cat-ear details. A strawberry milk chocolate charm completes the outfit.
Her long wavy White Milk Tea hair has a delicate pale tone, while her eyes are officially named Diamond Ganache. Azone chose its kitten-like hoyo mouth expression for this release and used the Picco Neemo P (Milky White) body.
The listed set includes the doll, headband, flower ornament, dress, pannier, drawers, socks, shoes, decorative charm and five hand types. The whole outfit design and pattern work are credited to Primrose. Product code: PID046-PCS.
These two girls both have gentle palettes, but one looks ready to wander the cobbled streets and the other is dressed for a very formal dessert appointment. I'd love to see what happens if Candyruru arrives at Chocolala's tea party carrying a paper bag from the bakery.
Collector's comparison
| Doll | Designer | Hair | Eyes | Body |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Candyruru - My little girl | F.L.C. | Cafe Latte Brown | Milky Gray | Picco Neemo P (Milky White) |
| Chocolala - Strawberry Milk Cat | Primrose | White Milk Tea | Diamond Ganache | Picco Neemo P (Milky White) |
Both use the small 1/12-scale SugarCups format and rooted soft-vinyl heads with inset eyes. They also share the Milky White body specification, though they have different original irises and facial expressions. The historical releases are separate collaborations, not a matched two-doll box set.

Nana's little note ♡
It's the small accessories that really sell these outfits for me: Candyruru's little black bag and glossy shoes, and Chocolala's chocolate charm and cat-ear shoes. They're easy to miss until you look closely at the photographs.
If I put them in one display scene, Candyruru would arrive with baked treats and Chocolala would insist on arranging them neatly on the tea table. I suspect the tiny shoes would get more attention than the cakes. (・ω・)
