Drew Barrymore turns 51 today, and she’s giving us all the permission slip to celebrate right alongside her: with butter, shortbread, and a whole lot of kitchen joy.

The forever-iconic actress, talk show host, mom, and lifestyle guru is marking the occasion with not one, but two sweet surprises from her Beautiful by Drew Barrymore brand that feel like pure Barrymore magic: a limited-edition collab with Milk Bar and a brand-new Buttercream color drop at Walmart.

Let’s start with the birthday cake (metaphorically speaking): Beautiful is teaming up with Milk Bar, the dessert empire founded by Drew’s real-life bestie Christina Tosi. Their friendship goes way back… think on-air kitchen hangs, cake-decorating lessons, and years of Drew fangirling over Christina’s genius on The Drew Barrymore Show.

Now, they’ve turned that bond into the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore x Milk Bar Buttercream Shortbread Baking Mix, a limited-time kit designed to work flawlessly with Beautiful’s signature stand mixers.

This isn’t just any baking mix, it’s shortbread perfection that makes homemade treats feel effortless and fun, the exact vibe Drew has always brought to everything from red carpets to recipe swaps. Presale kicks off today at MilkBarStore.com for $12.99, with orders shipping March 11th, prime timing to bake your way into spring while channeling Drew’s warmth in the kitchen.

And because no birthday is complete without a little something extra, Beautiful chose today to drop a stunning new Buttercream colorway across their kitchen line, available exclusively at Walmart for a limited time.

The shade “is all about warmth, joy, and sweet moments at home,” the brand says… a perfect match for the shortbread mix and a nod to everything that makes Drew such a comforting constant in pop culture. Rush to Walmart now so it arrives before your Milk Bar shipment, because this color won’t stick around.

From E.T. child star to Charlie’s Angels badass to the talk show host who feels like your quirky aunt, Drew Barrymore has spent decades making the world softer, funnier, and a little more human.

At 51, she’s not slowing down; she’s leaning into the chaos and clarity of life with products that turn everyday routines into happy rituals. This birthday collab feels like her in a mixing bowl: genuine, indulgent, and made with love.

Here’s to Drew. May we all bake a little sweeter, laugh a little louder, and embrace the buttercream moments today and every day. Happy Birthday, queen!
