Summary

I interviewed Greta Gerwig back in 2017, when her film Lady Bird came out, and in honor of Barbie-mania, I am re-airing an edited version of my interview with the writer and director of the new 'Barbie' movie!

Greta is a huge fan of Funfetti cake and insists the box of Pillsbury cake mix is best. So I invite Food Network host Molly Yeh (Girl Meets Farm) to talk about her homemade Funfetti, a cake that took a lot of trial and error, including testing with nine different types of sprinkles!
