Dolly Parton has always told stories about her love of baking, and now she’s sharing that passion with her fans. She has teamed with Duncan Hines to launch Dolly’s Southern Favorites in March. The products include a variety of baking mixes and frostings inspired by Parton family recipes, a tea towel, a spatula, recipe cards and more.
Southern Style Coconut Flavored Cake Mix and Southern Style Banana Flavored Cake Mix and coordinating frostings will be on store shelves in March and will retail for about $2 each.
The baking line comes at a hectic time for Parton, because she is also preparing to launch her book “Run, Rose Run,” which she co-wrote with famous author James Patterson. Parton also recorded a companion album of the same name to accompany the book.
Dolly Parton’s album “Run Rose Run” will be available on March 4, while the book of the same name and her sweet cake mixes will be in stores on March 7
