Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 4966  Name: Doll's House
* 
4966-1 (Inv) Doll's House
91 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2006
Sets: DUPLO: Playhouse

* Change 1 Part Reddish Brown {31287c02 Duplo Cake with Dark Pink Frosting to 31287c03 Duplo Cake with Trans-Dark Pink Frosting}

Comments from Submitter:
After looking at many images of this set on ebay/google images, it seems this part in Reddish Brown never came with Dark Pink icing — even the BL pic for Reddish Brown looks a little translucent. It's polypropylene Trans-Dark Pink, same as the later ones, but the material makes it look more opaque than normal.

There is this open catalog request that I was working on on the inventories side
before moving over to the catalog side:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1232860

I never got a chance to finish it, but my research had found the same thing as
you: the reddish brown cake never came with dark pink frosting.

In fact, the only set that looked like it ever really came with
 
Part No: 31287c02  Name: Duplo Cake with Dark Pink Frosting
* 
31287c02 Duplo Cake with Dark Pink Frosting
Parts: DUPLO, Food
was the very first set that used the part
 
Set No: 3090  Name: Forest Picnic
* 
3090-1 (Inv) Forest Picnic
24 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2001
Sets: DUPLO: DUPLO, Town: Recreation

Every other set after that looks like they switched the material, and so *should*
be
 
Part No: 31287c03  Name: Duplo Cake with Trans-Dark Pink Frosting
* 
31287c03 Duplo Cake with Trans-Dark Pink Frosting
Parts: DUPLO, Food

But like I said, I never finished the complete research needed.

In this case though, I think you are absolutely correct.
