![Dolly Parton gets busy in the kitchen as she unveils a selection of desserts - inspired by her Southern roots. The 76-year-old country and western star has teamed up with Duncan Hines to launch the selection of cake mixes and frostings. They are said to be "inspired by some of Dolly's favourite 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," the Jolene singer said. "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." The frostings are available in Creamy Buttercream and Chocolate Buttercream varieties. "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," Duncan Hines brand director Audrey Ingersoll said. Though these items won't hit the baking section of stores until March, a limited number of Dolly Parton baking kits were sold through Duncan Hines website on January 26. For $40, fans will receive all four products, recipe cards for two alternative recipes, a tea towel, a spatula, and a letter from Dolly. They sold out quickly. Editorial usage.

It’s National Dessert Day! — That’s right, October 14 marks the tasty holiday, in which calories don’t count. Well, we made that up, but, it’s fun to dream, right? Either way, today is the perfect opportunity to go and grab some ice cream, donuts, pie, cake, or whatever your dessert of choice is! We here by give you permission to indulge, because your favorite stars have all done it. From Jennifer Lopez to Kim Kardashian, check out these celebs and more chowing down on dessert in our attached gallery!
Hollywood’s hottest stars are also human, which means they too love a savory piece of chocolate cake, or a giant scoop of peanut butter ice cream from time to time. You know what they say — It’s all about balance. Just ask the Kardashians-Jenner sisters, who’ve all shared their love for some sort of dessert on either social media or on their E! reality show.
Fans of Keeping Up with the Kardashians will know that Kim Kardashian loves her sugary donuts, specifically beignets. Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian has expressed her love for Nilla Wafers. Khloe has even had her sisters hide the Nilla’s while on vacation so she wouldn’t eat them all, as seen on the show. Not to mention, it’s probably near impossible for the famous family not to love dessert, seeing as their tribe is so big, and only growing by the years, that they have so many birthdays to celebrate.
