Table Setting Barbie’s Stage
For a Barbie-themed dinner table setup that truly embodies the essence of this iconic doll, a ‘pink on pink’ concept is a perfect choice. The goal is to create a visually stunning and feminine ambience that reflects Barbie's glamorous world. Starting with the foundation, a light pink table cover sets the stage for the entire tablescape, providing a soft and elegant backdrop.
To add depth and contrast, dark pink table mats are placed strategically, complementing the table cover while adding a touch of sophistication. These mats serve as a base for the place settings, anchoring the design and providing a rich pop of colour. For the plates, light pink heart-shaped ceramic plates steal the spotlight, reminiscent of Barbie's playful and romantic nature. These charming plates not only add a delightful touch to the table but also serve as a reminder of the love and joy that Barbie brings to our lives.
To continue the pink theme, the cutlery features a beautiful combination of pink and silver. Each utensil is carefully selected to exude elegance and grace, mirroring Barbie's timeless style. The pink handles add a whimsical touch, while the silver accents bring a sense of refinement and sophistication. For the glassware, pink crystal wine glasses and pink glass water tumblers are the perfect choices. The crystal wine glasses add a touch of luxury and sparkle to the table, reflecting Barbie's glamorous lifestyle. The pink glass water tumblers provide a refreshing and vibrant element, beautifully enhancing the ‘pink-on-pink’ concept.
To add a decorative element that showcases Barbie's love for fashion, miniature heel shoe showpieces are placed on the tablescape. These showpieces, inspired by Barbie's iconic footwear, serve as conversation starters and playful accents, adding a delightful touch of Barbie's world to the overall setup.
With the combination of the light pink table cover, dark pink table mats, heart-shaped ceramic plates, pink and silver cutlery, pink crystal wine glasses, pink glass water tumblers, and the charming heel showpieces, this Barbie-themed dinner table setup truly encapsulates the essence of Barbie's style, grace, and fashion-forward sensibility.

Pasta Party With Barbie & Ken
To truly immerse ourselves in the Barbie world, we've crafted two exquisite pasta dishes that pay homage to the iconic dolls. The first is a delicate pink pasta creation that reflects Barbie's signature colour, representing her femininity, grace, and sophistication. Made with a delightful blend of beetroot-infused dough, this pasta not only captivates the eye but also delights the taste buds with its earthy yet subtly sweet flavour.
On the other hand, we have a striking blue pasta that embodies Ken's charm, confidence, and adventurous spirit. This vibrant hue is achieved by using natural butterfly pea flower extract, resulting in a mesmerizing pasta that's sure to ignite the imagination of all who gather around the table. Its flavour, subtly infused with herbs and spices, adds an extra layer of intrigue and excitement to the dining experience.
1. Barbie’s Pink Sauce Pasta
Ingredients:
- Pasta
- Butter
- Flour
- Milk
- Grated cheese
- Grated beetroot
Method:
1. Begin by boiling a desired amount of pasta in a pot of water. To infuse the pasta with a pink hue, add some grated beetroot to the boiling water. Cook the pasta until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. Drain the cooked pasta and set it aside.
2. In a separate saucepan, prepare the white sauce. Melt butter over medium heat, then add flour to create a roux. Stir the mixture continuously for a few minutes until it turns slightly golden.
3. Gradually pour milk into the saucepan, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth consistency. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle simmer. This process may take around 5-7 minutes.
4. Now, it's time to add flavours and colours to the white sauce. Sprinkle some salt to enhance the taste, and then incorporate grated cheese to create a creamy texture. To give the sauce a lovely pink hue, mix in some beetroot puree, made by blending beetroot until smooth.
5. Once the sauce is well combined and has achieved a delightful pink color, add the cooked pasta to the saucepan. Gently toss and mix everything together, ensuring that the pasta is evenly coated with the pink sauce.
6. Cook the pasta in the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking. This will allow the flavours to meld and the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.
7. Remove the saucepan from heat and serve the Barbie-inspired pink pasta immediately. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of grated cheese, chopped herbs, or oregano & chilli flakes.
Enjoy the delectable pink pasta, inspired by Barbie's vibrant world, and savor the harmonious blend of flavors in every bite.
2. Ken’s Blue Sauce Pasta
Ingredients:
- Pasta
- Butter
- Flour
- Milk
- Grated cheese
- Butterfly Pea Flowers
Method:
1. Begin by boiling your desired amount of pasta in a pot of water. To infuse the pasta with a vibrant blue hue, add Butterfly Blue Pea Flower to the boiling water. Allow the pasta to cook until it reaches your preferred level of tenderness. Once done, drain the cooked pasta, and set it aside. Remove any excess flower petals from the pasta. Set some of the coloured water aside too for later use.
2. In a separate saucepan, prepare the white sauce. Start by melting butter over medium heat. Once melted, add flour to create a roux. Stir the mixture continuously for a few minutes until it turns slightly golden.
3. Gradually pour milk into the saucepan, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth consistency. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle simmer. This process usually takes around 5-7 minutes.
4. Now, it's time to add flavours and create the blue sauce. Add salt to enhance the taste of the sauce. Incorporate grated cheese into the sauce, allowing it to melt and create a creamy texture. To achieve the blue colour, add 1 or 2 spoons of pasta water to the sauce, which will naturally take on a blue hue due to the Butterfly Pea Flower infusion.
5. Once the sauce is well combined and has acquired a delightful blue colour, add the cooked pasta to the saucepan. Gently toss and mix everything together, ensuring that the pasta is evenly coated with the blue sauce.
6. Cook the pasta in the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking. This will allow the flavours to meld and the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and serve Ken's blue sauce pasta immediately. You can garnish it with some additional grated cheese, and fresh herbs, or drizzle some mayonnaise too.
Enjoy the unique blue-hued pasta, inspired by Ken's adventurous spirit, and relish the delightful combination of flavours in each mouthful.
