Associated with Happy Birthday, Addy! Released in 1994, retired in 2007. Some pieces (flowers, pie plate, pie server, and modified pie) were later incorporated into Addy's Ice Cream Set.
Addy couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the party that awaited her at the boarding house. A big bouquet of beautiful flowers bloomed from a glass milk bottle. A pie plate was heaped high with yummy cherry pie crisscrossed with a lattice crust. Use the pie server to help Addy to and extra-large slice, and add a big scoop of Poppa’s homemade ice cream. A patriotic banner of freedom and paper lantern are the perfect mementos of Addy’s almost-perfect day!
Addy's Party Treats ABAP $29
I received mine today and much to my surprise they came in a PM box! The box was white and had a removable band around it with Samantha, Kirsten, Molly, Felicity, and Addy pictured on it. This set is too cute. It comes with a cherry pie that has two slices cut out of it, two scoops of ice cream, milk bottle, flowers, and a pie server. Everything is glass, ceramic, or metal except for the banner of freedom and paper lantern. No fake plasticy things in this set. I give it an A+.

I got this set the other day in the burgundy box--circa 2002. I love this set! It's mixable with Kit's Party Treats and the little server is of the same design as Josefina's silverware. The paper lantern and the banner are nice touches to the set. I like how the pie isn't cut all around--the set like all the others is only meant to serve two! Overall this set is very nice, and interchangeable with Josefina's and Kit's sets. It would be sad if this were to get retired. Grade: A+

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.

Need more photos of this adorable retired set in this thread, especially on Addy's birthday:

Comparison of Molly's milk bottle from her Party Treats with Addy's. Molly's bottle has a centered raised heart with 3 stars within the heart, and under the heart also raised reads: PLEASANTRY FARM ------------------------- GRADE A MILK

A friend of mine has this and I was recently able to see it. Addy's party treats are so cute and it's unique that she has a pie instead of a cake. The patriotic lantern is so sweet. Love the little pie server.
