Top 10 Barbie Party food ideas – Perfect for a Barbie-Themed Birthday Party!

Come on Barbie, Let’s Go Party! Looking to throw a fabulous Barbie Party? These Barbie party food ideas will surely leave your Barbies and Kens mouths watering with delight! 

1. Watermelon Barbie shoes

The iconic high heel just got seriously yummy. 

Make watermelon that little bit more exciting by making it Barbie’s iconic fashionista footwear! 

You could take a knife and carve these out by hand. Or just use a stencil (we won’t tell!) Click here to get your stencil and turn your watermelon (and other fruits!) into a yummy and healthy Barbie-themed treat!


2. Barbie Jelly Doll

Jelly is sure to be a hit at any party, and this one is no different! 

  1. Follow a basic jelly recipe (we recommend a pink one!)
  2.  Pour the jelly into a mould– you can even use different coloured jelly for a layered effect!
  3. Once set, pop your Barbie doll into the middle, and Wow! You’ll have the perfect show-stopping jelly that everyone will love!

3. Barbie-tastic Brew

An essential to any birthday party is a refreshing drink, and this one certainly looks delicious!

All you’ll need is watermelon juice, Lemonade, sparkling water, pink sugar, and pink edible glitter!

To make, simply:

  1. Wet the rim of your glass with water or honey and dip into the pink sugar
  2. Add the watermelon juice, sparkling water and lemonade 
  3. Mix in some edible glitter to add that extra sparkle! 

Why not add some pink straws and umbrellas on the top to complete the look?

If you’re after an adult drink, you could always add some Malibu to make the Malibu Barbie Cocktail of dreams! 


4. Barbie Head Sandwiches

To Barbie-fy your sandwiches, simply use cookie cutters to cut out Barbie-themed shapes. After all, why have a normal sandwich when you could have a Barbie one?! 

Cutters can be found on Etsy here 

You could also use them on cookies, fruits, or pizza! Why not try them on pancakes and have a breakfast fit for a Barbie Princess?!


5. Barbie Box Delights

If Barbie’s not in her Dreamhouse, she’s most likely in her iconic box! This is the perfect way to serve Barbie-inspired treats and look stylish while doing it! 

Simply purchase some Barbie favour boxes and fill them with Pink snacks! Macaroons, strawberries, marshmallows, party rings, and pink wafers are just some of the delights you could include!

Place these at the party food table for lunchtime fun, or give them out as Party favours at the end of the celebration! (a great alternative to party bags!)


6. Pink glittery popcorn

Is there a way to make popcorn better? By making it pink and glittery, of course! To achieve this Barbie-inspired snack, simply mix edible glitter and food colouring mist with popcorn, and viola- You have the perfect Barbie Popcorn Treat! 


7. Barbie Birthday cake

The centrepiece of any party food table is, of course, the Birthday Cake!

You could use your jelly mould to make the perfect Barbie Dress birthday cake, or purchase a plain pink cake and decorate it with edible glitter, macaroons, candy floss, and disco balls! Or, if you’d prefer to leave the cake-making to someone else, you could always go to your local bakery for some assistance! 


8. Flamingo Donuts

How cute are these Flamingo Float Donuts! All you’ll need is pink-iced mini doughnuts, pink fondant, white chocolate, black edible marker, and some toothpicks! 

To make: 

  1. Shape the pink fondant into the flamingo’s head (like a candy cane!) and push a toothpick into the end
  2. Dip the beak into melted white chocolate and let it dry
  3. Use a black edible marker to do the details 
  4. Use the other end of the toothpick to place into the donut 

And that’s it! You’ve got yourself some fabulous-looking mini flamingo pool floats!


9. Pink Pasta

Why eat normal pasta when you could eat PINK pasta?

We’re on a quest to make everything pink, and that includes carbs. Simply add blended cooked beetroot to pasta to make a quick and easy dish that Barbie herself would love! It’s delicious (and full of nutrients, too!) 

Feel free to add in any extra ingredients you may fancy- like feta, celery, or carrots to bulk out the dish!


10. Pink Burgers

Normal burgers are out, PINK burgers are in! 

Check out this limited edition Pink Vegan Burgers from Cafe Thrive in Southampton- don’t they look delicious! 

To recreate the pink burger look at home, simply purchase beetroot burger buns from a supermarket and use some beetroot juice left over from your pink pasta in the burger sauce!

How to Throw a Fantastic Barbie World party! 

Come on Barbie, let’s go Party!

Barbie is back by popular demand!  

We’re so glad kids are wanting the infamous doll to come and entertain at their party. Isn’t it every child’s dream to meet their real-life toys? All ages will enjoy the fun a life-size Barbie will bring. 

If you’re not sure how to through a fantastic Barbie Party, we can certainly help with some Barbie party ideas:

The Set-Up: 

As entertainers, we’ve played Barbie princess, sporty Barbie and ballerina Barbie. That’s what we love about her; a female-led icon for any young girl to look up to. Barbie has such variety; that means you can get really creative when it comes to the set-up. So long as you go full out with sparkles and flair! 

WHERE TO START? Well, in every version of Barbie…her signature colour is PINK!  

So go crazy with it; pink balloon arches, pink tablecloths, pink birthday cake…And if there’s enough pink, then sparkles and glitter must come next! You can also find Barbie party accessories such as plates and cups online, or at your local party supplier, (a great way to shop locally,) if sparkles aren’t your thing, plain hot Barbie pink is the colour to go for! 

Photo walls are a great way to ensure you have memories of those party picture-perfect moments, forever. The Barbie Photobox photo booth can make you look and feel like a lifesize doll. This can either be hired from your local decorator, or if you fancy a bit of DIY fun, you can make one yourself! Check out this Barbie Box tutorial!

The cake: 

Somehow, the cake always seems to become the most stressful part of the party. You have to worry about there not being enough to go around, if it fits the theme and of course – if it’s yummy! 

There are many things you can do to get this right, and these are just a few options when deciding on a cake:

– You can use a trusted cake company in your area, make sure you look at reviews before paying, or use a recommended business. If you’re not sure, reach out on social media for help suggesting great local companies. 

-You could ask your friends and family to help. Do you know a friend who bakes for fun? What about granny? Never feel afraid to reach out for help.  

-Head down to your local store and buy the cake. Sometimes, with parents going to so many parties in a year, there’s pressure to have the most ‘gorgeous’ looking cake. But, to take the stress off, there is always the option to buy a cake from the supermarket. They’re cheaper, they have lots of different themes, and taste just as yummy! 

Barbie Cupcakes could be a better option than one large cake. They make a great display set out on tiered cake stands. cupcakes mean you’ll be able to get just the right amount for every guest, and no sibling will be fighting over the sizes of the slices, and there will be no cutting the cake fiasco when you just don’t have the time. 

If you’re feeling creative, give it a go yourself. Take a look at our Barbie Cake tutorial blog on how to make the perfect ‘Doll’ birthday cake.

The Barbie: 

It wouldn’t be a Barbie Party without the Doll herself making an appearance. Without entertainment, parents can find themselves lost in all the rush, and before you know it, the party is over and it feels like you didn’t get one moment to enjoy any of your hard work.  

Hint, hint, this is where we come in… Snow Princess Parties provides not only princess parties, but we’re also well known for our LOL Doll, Monster High Character, and of course, the infamous Barbie!

We cover all the entertainment from the start of the party to the very end, and bring a professional speaker and PA system, microphones, games and activities. We make it a stress-free experience for all parents, who can sit back and enjoy the party or you could take the opportunity to take a few pictures with the birthday girl in your Barbie PhotoBox (or you could even join in!) 

If you would be interested in booking a magical party with us, fill in the booking enquiry form or give your local director a call. Hopefully, we’ll meet you soon as your Barbie entertainer!
