Duncan Hines is launching a new line of Southern-inspired desserts with beloved GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, noted philanthropist, international icon, and “angel here on earth” (personal opinion – no evidence has yet appeared of Ms. Parton’s angelicness), Dolly Parton. This new line includes cake mixes and frostings inspired by some of Dolly’s favorite family recipes like Coconut Cake and Banana Puddin’ Cake.
“I have always loved to cook and, growing up in the South, I especially love that authentic Mom and Pop kind of cooking,” said Dolly Parton. “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.”
To introduce the partnership, Duncan Hines started offering the limited-edition Dolly Parton’s Baking Collection as of Wednesday, January 26th on their website, while supplies last. The special collection gives Dolly fans an opportunity to be the first to try her new line of cake mixes and frostings, which won’t hit store shelves nationwide until Spring. Dolly Parton’s Baking Collection can be purchased while supplies last for $40.00 (plus shipping and handling). The kit includes:
- Dolly Parton’s Southern Style Coconut Flavored Cake Mix
- Dolly Parton’s Southern Style Banana Flavored Cake Mix
- Dolly Parton’s Creamy Buttercream Frosting
- Dolly Parton’s Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- Collectible tea towel & spatula
- Custom recipe cards
Beginning in March, the Duncan Hines Dolly Parton’s line up of cakes mixes and frostings can be found in the baking section of grocery stores and mass retailers. The cake mixes have a suggested retail price (SRP) of $2.19; the frostings have an SRP of $2.09.
“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,” said Audrey Ingersoll, Duncan Hines brand director. “We are excited to see this partnership – facilitated by Dolly’s licensing agency, IMG – evolve for years to come.”
