B+
The birthday set is a little pricey for what’s included, but nice nonetheless. This set includes a pie, pie tin, pie server, milk bottle, flowers, 2 scoops of ice-cream, a lantern and a banner.
The pie is made of clay and has two removable slices. I wish that there were at least two more slices of pie. One interesting thing about the pie is that almost every pie is a little different color. I have some pies that are the color of cherry pie, whereas others are the color of strawberry or raspberry pies. The pie server is made of metal and plastic and is proportionate to the pie slices.
One of my favorite parts of the set is the pie tin. The pie tin is made of metal and has a PLEASANT COMPANY stamp on the bottom. The tin holds the pie nicely, but can also double as a plate. The pie tins are also oven safe. Several years ago, I purchased a bag of pie tins at the MCM sale and have used them to bake doll sized pies and people sized tarts. Also included are two scoops of clay ice-cream. In my opinion, the ice-cream looks more like whipped-cream.
The milk bottle is plain, unlike Molly’s which has a Pleasant Farms label. The flowers are typical, artificial flowers and are identical to the ones that come with Addy’s Flower-Picking Dress.
One of the reasons why I gave the set a B instead of an A is because the lantern could have been designed a lot better. The paper lantern is attached to a plastic stick. Also, the strings tangle very easily and are difficult to untangle. I also wish that 2 lanterns were included so that Addy could share her birthday with a friend.
The banner is important to Addy’s story, but isn’t very useful. I’ve never bothered to take mine out of the plastic.
