Dolly Parton Cake

 Dolly Parton, one of our National Treasures turns 77 years old today!

A year or so ago I heard Dolly was teaming up with Duncan Hines to put out her own icings and cake mixes.  The catch at the time was you had to buy the whole kit online.  It included 2 mixes, 2 icings, a hand towel, a spatula, and recipe cards...for 40 bucks!   

Nope!  Next!  I forgot about it until the mixes and icings showed up at Big Lots and for less than 2 bucks each!

We picked up the banana cake mix.  On the back of the box it tells you how to Dolly-fy it up with milk, butter, and banana pudding mix...all of which I did.

I thought the cake was pretty mediocre to be honest.  It was no Dolly version of a cake, she is much more spectacular!
