This set was released in 2012 and retired with archival in 2015.
Caroline celebrates her tenth birthday with family and friends as they enjoy a tableful of homemade treats! Your girl can host a similar party with: A pretend applesauce cake. A ceramic pitcher, painted with an image of a majestic ship. A bouquet of faux wildflowers. Two lacy napkins. Three metal plates for serving. Two each metal forks, knives, and cups that are reminiscent of actual items from her era!
Caroline's Party Dishes are well worth the asking price, IMHO. The dishes, cutlery, and cups are heavy metal, very solid feeling and I doubt easily broken, unlike some of the glass and china sets! The jug has a sailing ship printed on it for a nautical flair, the napkins are a good size with crocheted edges, and the apple cake comes "sliced" in two pieces so dolls can share.
The apple cake was a let-down - it has a plastic wedge bottom, similar in shape to a Trivial Pursuit piece. It's really ugly and cheap looking, I don't know why they felt the need to add that! The apples on top are also very poorly painted, and look more like apple shaped mashed potatoes than apples! The cake itself, however, looks like real cake!
They also have a sku number printed directly in large numbers on the back of each fork and knife. You better want only one side of your utensil to show, because it looks really ugly otherwise.
