Released in 2008, retired in 2015. This set combines many (sometimes revised) components of earlier sets, including the pie, spatula server, and flowers from Addy's Party Treats, the doilies and forks from her Ironstone Compote Set, and her Ice Cream Freezer.
Addy’s tenth birthday will be extra-special with this set. When it’s time for a celebration, Addy can share tasty treats with her family: A pretend cherry pie in a metal pie pan. 2 pretend pieces of pie and ice cream. A wooden ice cream maker with a paddle. A ceramic vase filled with fabric flowers. 3 crocheted doilies. 2 ceramic bowls and two silver-colored forks. A metal spatula.
Overall, I really like this set. I bought it on sale for $58, which I think is a more realistic price point. I don't think I would ever have taken the plunge at $68.
First, the excellent...the ice cream maker is wood and well made. The rest of the pieces are all good quality. Yes, the ice cream is attached to the pie and as always you would need about double the flowers to make a good bouquet. What really bothers me about this set is the scale. As you can see in the picture, the tines of the fork are the size of the pie slices. Either, that's one small pie or a shovel for a fork.
Grade: B
