Hannah Montana is an era defining show. In many ways, it’s much more than just a show. It's a cultural phenomenon that shaped a generation. Miley Cyrus's double life as Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana reflected the challenges of adolescence and high school, fame, and self-discovery. With catchy tunes, relatable stories, and Miley's charming presence, Hannah Montana remains, for many, a cherished memory, a symbol of courage and a testament to the enduring power of music. Here are some dessert ideas celebrating this loveable pop star and her dual life.

1. Hannah’s Wardrobe Cupcakes

Hannah’s wardrobe is bold, playful and sparkly pro max, be it her fully sequined gold dress or high boots and colorful jackets. Recalling that, create a vibrant assortment of cupcakes inspired by Hannah's colorful wardrobe. Bake cupcakes in different flavors and frost them with bright, swirled buttercream in shades of pink, purple, green and blue. Top them with edible glitter and star-shaped sprinkles. Also use marzipan to make mini microphones, guitars and sunglasses to add to the concert effect.

Here’s a recipe for green cupcakes with purple frosting on top.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup sugar
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp distilled white vinegar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ tsp green gel food coloring

For the frosting:

• 60 gm white chocolate, chopped
• 3 large egg whites
• ¾ cup sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• Pinch of cream of tartar
• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ tsp purple gel food coloring

2. Hannah's Magical Music Cake

Bake a glam cake that’s as bright and sparkly as her performances and music. Make a multi-layered cake and cover it heavily with edible silver or multicolored glitter. Don't worry about getting messy. The idea is for glitter to fly everywhere when eating! With marzipan, add musical notes. And use a piping bag to write lyrics of her famous songs, including lines like The best of both worlds, 7 things I hate about you, Nobody’s perfect and If we were a movie.

Ingredients:

• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1¼ cups sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ cups whole milk

3. Hannah’s Glamorous Concerts Cake

Make small cake pops and roll them in edible silver or gold glitter, reminiscent of a disco ball. You can also use edible silver or gold leaf and stick that on instead. These pops should be put on toothpicks, which will be inserted into a base cake. The cake should be covered with black fondant, with glitter sprinkled around the pops, to give the effect of a darkened concert hall. If you're feeling artistic, you can also use edible paint to add shadows and spotlights on the cake.

Here’s a chocolate cake recipe for the base.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4. Hannah Pop Up Cake

This is a fun, playful cake that’ll excite and entertain guests of all ages. To make it, bake a multilayered circular cake. The tricky part is hollowing out a bit of cake from the center, all the way to the bottom. Push a pipe in and pull that cake out, patiently and neatly. Cover the lower half of the cake in white fondant and the upper half in bright pink fondant. Make sure to cut out a hole from the pink fondant where the hole in the cake is. Add a Barbie doll into the hole, resembling Hannah jumping out of the cake.

Here’s a red velvet cake recipe for the base:
