This Funfetti dip is a fluffy mixture of butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar, with nostalgic flavor coming from imitation vanilla extract and a little crunch from confetti sprinkles. Think white cake laced with confetti sprinkles that explode into colorful polka dots (just like in our perfect birthday cake).

5Strawberry Upside-Down Cake
Parker feierbachMaking strawberry compote for this layer cake is easier than you'd think. All you're doing is cooking down the fresh berries with sugar and lemon juice. We used it in the batter and the frosting, but if you want to take it even further (or are inspired by Barbie: Princess Charm School), put it between the layers too.

12Lemon Blueberry Daiquiris
PHOTO: LUCY SCHAEFFER; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONInspired by our love of our lemon blueberry margs, this brightly colored daiquiri has major Barbie vibes. Between the fruity sweetness of the berries and the bright, citrusy flavor, the rum tends to fade to the background, making these surprisingly drinkable despite the strength.

14Copycat Starbucks Pink Drink
PHOTO: ROCKY LUTEN; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONThe Internet first learned about the Pink Drink in 2016, where customers ordered the Strawberry Acaí Refresher with coconut milk instead of water. The result was a creamy, bright pink beverage that took social media by storm—so much so that Starbucks made it an official menu item less than a year after. We just know this would be Barbie's Starbucks drink of choice too.
