BRB, we'll be "Working 9 to 5" on these new cake mixes.
Dolly Parton is known for her singing and songwriting career, her philanthropy, her acting and Dollywood of course, but now everyone's favorite country crooner can add one more thing to her impressive list of accomplishments: master baker. Parton teamed up with Duncan Hines back in January 2022 to create her own line of mixes for Dolly fans and Duncan Hines bakers alike, featuring southern-style sweets and baked goods and now they've just announced four new mixes are on the way.
According to a press release released by the company, the original line included "cake mixes and frostings inspired by some of Dolly's favorite family recipes like Coconut Cake and Banana Puddin' Cake. Parton was excited to have her very own line of cake mixes, bringing up her love for a “mom and pop kind of cooking” and this Dolly Parton collection certainly embraces that sentiment. Here's the scoop on what's to come and how to get your hands on the exclusive new flavors.

When this partnership was announced in 2022, two cake flavors were released as well as two frosting flavors. The cake flavors included a southern-style banana-flavored cake mix and a coconut-flavored cake mix. The frostings were both classic buttercream and chocolate buttercream. What’s even better about the southern style mixes and frostings is their Dolly Parton caricatures on the packaging with the big hair and pink outfit. It’s like Dolly is right there in your kitchen baking with you!
