Cakes + Fizzies: Bidding Farewell to Summer Barbie Style
What a Summer it was. Pink everywhere with a sparkle of authority. As the sun sets on another season, it shines bright on a new one.
Barbie The Movie won the Summer in theaters and wardrobes. Now it is cruising us through the last of Summer days and into the Fall spectacular. The movie has been released to streaming platforms for rental and purchase prompting watch parties.
There is no better way to celebrate letting go of the past and walking into today than with a slice of ice cream cake and a fizzy drink.
And make it pink for one last road trip.
The Cake:
Cold Stone Creamery created an ice cream cake for Barbie with layers of pink glitter ice cream. The white cake levels out the sweetness because we girls can do anything including not being annoyingly sweet. Cut into a slice and live out your childhood dreams before those unpalatable pumpkin apple spiced and diced chai lattes* take over.
The Fizzy:
The BKDWN is known for creating drinks that are beneficial to the entire system based on Ayurvedic principles. The Barbie Fizzy was imbibed on repeat this Summer for interior cooling of Pitta heat. A mix of our favorite rosé with rose lemonade is perfectly topped with a Dream House straw.
*We made this up. Not sure what weird drink their serving to the masses this Autumn but we’re guessing it’s something like this.
Popping non-EtOH bubbles and shining bright. No doubt, dressing up adds cheeriness. Not only for the person who dresses up, but also for the people around us. A lot of people find it inspiring. Infectious, even. Is a Fashionable $cience droplet not preferable to an influenza infection? This NYE, we take monochromatic looks out for a night on the town. Or maybe don our shiniest attire for a glitzy night in marathoning with Jacques Tati. After all, personal energy, or doshic constitution, stimulates feelings of luxury.
