1998 Cake Shop Barbie (Japanese Exclusive)

Product description

“レースがすてき! ケーキやさんの ファッションよ!

なりたいな ケーキやさん バービー

さい いじょう 3才以上”

This is a Japanese Exclusive release Barbie, that is packaged in a slim box, and is accompanied by a matching playset- sometimes being packaged together. It appears to be a Japanese-specific variation of the Sweet Treats Barbie, which also released in 1998. 

Though many refer to this doll as “Baking Barbie,” it translates more closely from Japanese into “Cake Shop Barbie” (according to Google Translate).

If anyone on the site is a native Japanese speaker and is able to give a better translation as to what the front and back of the box says- feel free to comment below! It would be much appreciated!
