I hope you enjoy both Barbie the film and my Barbie inspired cake! Lift the disco ball by placing your hands underneath the cake, avoiding touching the fondant around the outside. The doll of Gosling's Ken also wore the distinguishable denim-on-denim ensemble featuring straight-leg pants and an open sleeveless vest to show off his washboard abs.

I coloured the buttercream pink (obviously) and allowed the jam between the layers to seep through to create a wonderful texture. That iconic Barbie ‘B’ is cut out from white sugar paste, which I did free hand whilst using a poster from the film as a guide. By all means use a template here if necessary! The pink hearts around the bottom are solid white chocolate that I tempered in the microwave and then coloured pink.

And it must say something even more serious about the state of Hollywood that Barbie fully vindicates that feverish anticipation. Yes, we have reached the confusing point in showbusiness history where a two-hour toy commercial is more satisfying than most of the other big-screen entertainment being offered this year. It's not just a genuinely funny and warm-hearted live-action comedy – and there aren't many of those around these days – but an art-house passion project so bold, inventive and politically charged that it is sure to be nominated for all sorts of awards. Barbie as a best picture nominee at the 2024 Oscars? I wouldn’t bet against it.Her signature blond hair is styled just like Barbie’s in the feature film with glossy disco curls and a sheer hair piece. Smooth over the buttercream on the cake using a palette knife and use the tip of the knife to create a pattern. Using a piping bag or sandwich bag with a fun piping tip attached, pipe the remaining pink buttercream in swirls in various places on the cake. Do the same for the yellow (or whatever colour you chose) buttercream. I’ve not seen a film with this much anticipation and this much hype in the lead up to its release in… well, I’m not sure I can actually say I remember there being so much build up to a solo film. The marketing campaign alone is something to behold. My Barbie celebration cake is a winner for any Barbie and/or Ken. C’mon Barbie, let’s go party!

Disco Barbie: The third look had her doll wearing a gold jumpsuit with metallic silver sequins as well as all of the same jewelry. Her doll also fashioned the same butterfly crown headpiece atop her bombshell waves as Robbie did in the movie And who could blame us? From what we've saw before the movie made it to cinemas (you know, the Insta pics and YouTube clips), the London-based costume designer Jaqueline Durran has had quite the blast creating the outfits for the film. We're so here for the references to the doll's OG '50s and '60s looks (we're talking gingham prints and retro silhouettes) alongside sportswear and disco references from the '80s. Press the white chocolate hearts around the base of the cake and the ‘B’ in the centre of the front of the base cake.
