An Edinburgh macaron maker has spoken of her surprise at being asked to produce hundreds of sweet treats for the new Barbie film.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mademoiselle Macaron sent 300 French meringue confections to the film set in Hertfordshire last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff were sworn to secrecy after receiving an email requesting an order from Warner Brothers Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mademoiselle Macaron founder Rachel Hanretty said staff “let out a little shriek” when the order arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We weren’t 100% convinced that this was the Barbie set,” she told BBC Radio Scotland’s Lunchtime Live programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But we were speaking to one of the set designers and, lo and behold, the delivery address was simply: Building One, Barbie Set, Warner Bros Studios, Leavesden.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with the movie’s colour scheme, the sweets they supplied were flavoured with rose, raspberry, lemon, orange blossom and caramel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Rachel does not know how the film’s producers found out about their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: “It just seems so far removed from our kitchen in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We do sell macarons around the UK, but the fact that they could’ve been near Ryan Gosling is something to think about.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film, which is released in UK cinemas on Friday, stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken and was directed by Greta Gerwig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cast also includes Scottish actors Sharon Rooney, who plays a lawyer Barbie, and Ncuti Gatwa, who wears a denim jacket for a cowboy-inspired take on Ken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
