Fashion’s First Icon Inspires the Food World

With the “Barbie” movie breaking global revenue records, it’s no wonder the famed fashion doll is trending worldwide. In addition to prompting men and women to dust off their brightest, boldest hues of pink in their wardrobes, Barbie has also spawned countless collaborations with food and beverage brands, infiltrating the food world one party at a time.

For Your Pantry

The perfect purchase for “carbie Barbie,” Pasta Di Martino is offering up Barbie-themed pastas, from classic shapes like spaghetti and macaroni to the lesser-known lumachine and even orzo. With bubblegum pink branding, these boxes will make any pantry look like it belongs in Barbie’s Malibu mansion.

For Your Hot Girl Walk

Known for its zero-sugar iterations of your favorites bevvies, Swoon teamed up with Barbie to launch a canned Barbie Pink Lemonade. With only 5 calories per serving and 100% daily value of vitamin C, consumers can feel good about what they’re drinking—and look the part, too.

For Your Birthday Bash

Although not available nationwide, this stunning Barbie Cake from SusieCakes can be completely customized: Decide between vanilla, vanilla confetti, chocolate, or red velvet cake, and Susie Pink, SusieBlue, white vanilla, or chocolate buttercream frosting. You can even select one of three different Barbies for your cake and get a customized inscription. Californians and Texans can pick these up at their local SusieCakes bakery.

For Your Bar Cart

Customize your home bar with a pop of pink thanks to Kyrö Distillery’s Pink Gin. The Finnish distillery’s whimsical pink gin is made from 100% rye, red berries, and rhubarb, and not only makes a statement in the home, but also in any cocktail.

For Your Sweat Sesh

When you need that added dose of hydration but want to remain on brand for your Barbiecore fall, Cure Hydration’s Strawberry Kiwi electrolytes will do the job. Simply stir the powder into water to get a boost of added nutrients and enjoy in between those 1-2 punches or on your next run.

- DIY -

While these are all easy finds to indulge your Barbie dreams, sometimes it’s fun to get your hands a little dirty. Thanks to London’s Savage Garden, you can create their “Dance the Night” cocktail right at home.
