Dolly Parton Created Her Own Baking Mix And Its Already SOLD OUT!

Singer Dolly Parton has embarked on yet another entrepreneurial venture!

The “9 to 5” singer is working overtime and has partnered with Duncan Hines to launch a new line of Southern-inspired baking mixes inspired by Dolly’s favorite desserts!

Dolly is making it easier than ever for fans to enjoy a sweet treat from the comfort of their own kitchen. Some of the cake mixes and frostings for sale are inspired by some of Dolly’s own family recipes, including Coconut Cake and Banana Puddin’ Cake.

In a press release, Dolly said, “I have always loved to cook and, growing up in the South, I especially love that authentic Mom and Pop kind of cooking.”

“Baking was no different,” she continued. “I had plenty of people to show me what's what in the kitchen... my Mama, my grandmothers, and my aunts were all wonderful bakers.”

“They taught me everything I know, from biscuits and gravy to chocolate cake,” she went on. “Now I am proud to share some of those favorites with all of you.”

“I am excited to launch my own line of cake mixes and frostings with Duncan Hines, bringing that sweet, Southern-style baking experience I enjoy to others,” she added.

Unfortunately, Dolly’s baking mixes won’t be available in stores until at least March. Dolly’s line of baking mixes has a suggested retail price of $2.19 and Dolly’s frostings have a suggested retail price of $2.09.

On Wednesday, Duncan Hines gave fans an opportunity to buy a limited edition kit of Dolly Parton’s Baking Collection which included her new baking mixes and a few collectible items.

The kit, which was priced at $40.00 (plus shipping and handling), included Dolly Parton’s Southern Style Coconut Flavored Cake Mix, Dolly Parton’s Southern Style Bana Flavored Cake Mix, Dolly Parton’s Creamy Buttercream Frosting, Dolly Parton’s Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, a collectible tea towel and spatula, and custom recipe cards.

Duncan Hines’ brand director, Audrey Ingersoll, said, “Duncan Hines is beyond thrilled to partner with Dolly Parton, one of the most revered and beloved women in the world, on a new line of products that are steeped in Southern comfort and inspired by Dolly's family recipes.”

“We are excited to see this partnership – facilitated by Dolly's licensing agency, IMG – evolve for years to come,” she added.

Duncan Hines has also included links to the recipes for Dolly’s Favorite Coconut Cake and Dolly’s Favorite Banana Puddin’ Cake on their website.

In a recent interview with Access Hollywood promoting her new baking line, Dolly also answered questions about her relationship with Carl Dean. The pair got married in 1966 and they’ve been going strong ever since!

“Well, we met 57 years ago, fell in love… or it was really a strong bond, and we’re still together,” she said. “But we have a similar sense of humor. We’re both funny. Our sense of humor is very different but we’re very entertaining, let’s put it that way, and we’re both able to find the humor in anything or make some humor for whatever it is.”

“We’re good friends,” she continued. “We respect each other. We like each other. And I’m a Capricorn and he’s a Cancer and those are supposed to be [compatible] if you follow that kind of stuff.”

“I stay gone a lot, so we’re not in each other’s face all the time,” she went on. “I think that’s probably helped a lot, but more than anything, we’re just good friends and we’re likable people and we like each other.”
