With Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie headlining the upcoming Barbie film release, all things pink could be cool again.
Growing up, I was always jealous of my friend’s Barbie collection. She owned a dreamhouse, campervan and her Barbies had wardrobes packed with the coolest clothes.
Did you know that Barbie bought her first Dreamhouse in 1962 – before women were allowed to open their own bank accounts?
Perhaps we can recapture and celebrate some childhood fun with a modern twist. Here are some ideas for creating a fun and pretty pink party:
Barbie Inspired Food
- Quiche Lorraine and vegetable frittatas
- Finger sandwiches and mini croissantsHomemade sausage rolls
- Homemade sausage rolls
- Savoury cold pasta salad (cook the spiral or bow pasta with red food colouring), or a warm pasta with creamy roasted beetroot sauce
- Beetroot hummus with coloured corn chips and vegetable crudites
- Pink macaroons
- Pink glazed donuts
- Pink chocolate-dipped pretzels and apples
- Raspberry twists and musk sticks
- Fruit kebabs with strawberries, grapes and watermelon

Wiltshire’s bakeware range in classic rose gold is the perfect way to bake your goods. The rose gold round cake pan is ideal for the showstopping cake. The pink cookie sheet trays can be used for custom biscuits. Look for heart-shaped and Barbie head cookie cutters.
