Southern-Style Dessert Collections

Duncan Hines is Launching Desserts with Dolly Parton

Inspired by some of Dolly Parton's favorite family recipes, Duncan Hines is launching a new line of Southern-inspired desserts with beloved Grammy Award-winning artist and philanthropist. Recipes like Coconut Cake and Banana Puddin' Cake served as the inspiration for products like cake mixes and frostings that make it easy for anyone to enjoy sweet, Southern-style baking experiences at home.

This partnership between Duncan Hines and the international music icon is kicking off with the limited-edition Dolly Parton's Baking Collection and for a limited time, fans are being given the first taste of the collection before it officially hits store shelves in the spring. The Dolly Parton's Baking Collection kit includes products like Dolly Parton's Southern Style Banana Flavored Cake Mix and Creamy Buttercream Frosting, plus custom recipe cards and collectible items like tea towels and spatulas.
