I picked up the Gabby's Dollhouse, Cakey's Fruit Smoothie Balcony Playset for my preschooler who's obsessed with the show, and it's sparked hours of imaginative play after we set it up and used it over the past couple of weeks. Design and Contents: This 8-piece set includes a colorful balcony that attaches seamlessly to the main Gabby's Dollhouse (sold separately), a Cakey Cat figure with adorable details, and accessories like a blender, hammock, balcony charms, and a surprise Mason Jar delivery. The pieces are vibrant with smoothie-themed elements—think fruity colors and cute cat motifs—that tie perfectly into the show's whimsical style. Everything is scaled for little hands, about 2-3 inches for the figures and accessories, made from durable plastic that's lightweight yet sturdy. Play Features and Functionality: The balcony encourages creative storytelling with its interactive elements: kids can "blend" smoothies in the spinner blender, swing Cakey in the hammock, and hang charms for decoration. My child loved the sensory aspect, like the spinning action and the QR code that unlocks a special reward in the Gabby's Dollhouse app. It integrates well with other sets, expanding the dollhouse world for pretend play scenarios like fruit parties or balcony hangouts. Setup was quick, snapping onto the dollhouse in minutes, though aligning the clips took a couple of tries. Durability and Safety: The materials hold up to enthusiastic play—no breaks after drops from table height—and the pieces are easy to clean with a damp cloth. However, some smaller accessories, like the charms, are tiny, posing a potential choking hazard for younger siblings under 3, so supervision is key. The plastic doesn't have sharp edges, but the hammock strings could tangle if not stored properly. Pros: Themed accessories promote imaginative, show-inspired play. Easy attachment to the main dollhouse for expanded fun. Includes app integration for digital-physical crossover. Vibrant, durable design appeals to fans aged 3+. Final Thoughts: The Cakey's Fruit Smoothie Balcony Playset is a delightful add-on for Gabby's Dollhouse enthusiasts, blending physical play with app rewards for engaging entertainment. While the small pieces warrant caution, the overall quality and fun factor make it a great gift or expansion. My kid hasn't stopped playing with it, and I'd recommend it to parents of young fans looking to build out their collection.
