The release date for Barbie is right around the corner, and businesses in East Dallas are helping fans get into the spirit.
SusieCakes, which has a location in Hillside Village shopping center, is selling Barbie cakes. Customers get to customize the cakes, choosing a doll, sprinkles, cake flavor and buttercream, along with a personalized inscription.
The bakery needs a 48-hour notice for Barbie cake orders.
At La Neta Cocina y Lounge, Leanne Locken from The Real Housewives of Dallas is hosting a Barbie-themed brunch.
The Deep Ellum restaurant and bar will be transformed into a dream house with pink decor and accessories, along with a life-sized doll box for photo opportunities.
A special cocktail menu has been created for the occasion. One of the options is Wake Up & See the Sparkle, made with La Marca prosecco, pink cocktail glitter and pink cotton candy.
La Neta is also preparing theme-appropriate desserts, such as Barbie’s Beach Bod, which includes red velvet churros with a cream cheese frosting dip.
The brunch is scheduled for July 23, two days after the film release date.
Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig, stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken.
The movie is being released on the same day as another film, Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan and featuring Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt. Thus, Barbenheimer.
