Khloe Kardashian, who has over 310 million Instagram followers, posted a few weeks ago on her Instagram that she loved the new Dolly Parton Duncan Hines Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake mix, and I knew right then I might have a problem.

That Amazing Crumb Cake

I LOVE the new mix, and more often than I should, I make the Dolly crumb cake at least once a week. I told my husband we better get to the store and buy more before it gets too popular. I was right; that very afternoon, I looked for it at the grocery store, and it was sold out. I did find it later at another store after hitting several of them in the Nashville area on a new quest.

Dolly Sends Goodies

Dolly took notice of Khloe’s post as well and quickly had her people at Duncan Hines send her a package of all the cake mixes and some cooking items featuring Parton. Kardashian posted a photo of the goodies on her Instagram Stories, writing, “I will never get over this. DREAMS MADE!!!!! Thank you!!!! The Queen @dollyparton and @realduncanhines.”

Thanking Khloe

Dolly saw that post too, writing on her Insta Stories, “Hey Khloe, it’s Dolly here: I am absolutely floored that you put my goodies up on Instagram. Who says you can’t have your cakes and eat them too? Or your biscuits or muffins or whatever.”

She added, “I hope you enjoy all of them. I still can’t believe you did that. I love you for it. Hope to meet you one day. Love, Dolly.”

New Family Cookbook

Parton recently announced a brand new cookbook with her sister, Rachel Parton George, called Good Lookin’ Cookin.’ The book will be released on September 17.

Dolly said, “I love good cooking, but not as much as I love my sister Rachel. So, getting to combine the two was a joy beyond belief for me. I do believe you’re going to love all these great recipes, and I think you’re gonna have as much fun reading these stories and things that we put together for you as we did.”

She added, “I can’t wait to get this book in your hands and for you to get this food on your table.”

Dolly Parton: Her Five Most Fabulous Music Videos

• "Real Love" (1985)

  This music video shows footage and moments of Dolly and Kenny Rogers when they toured together for a few years in the early 1980s. It is to be cherished; although they recorded together many times, the music icons only toured together in the 1980s.

• "Silver Threads And Golden Needles" (1993)

  This music video is also a gem. It is the only music video to feature Parton with fellow country music Queens and icons Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn, who have both since passed. The beginning of the music video shows a fun clip of music and guitar icon Chet Atkins trying to get backstage to see the country queens. The security guard says, “I don’t care if you are Chet Atkins, you can’t get in,” and Chet replies, “I am Chet Atkins.” It was Atkins who first signed Dolly to a RCA recording contract in the 1960s.

• "Why'd You Come In Here" (1989)

  This fun video starts with Dolly auditioning men to play her leading man in the video, and it’s pretty funny. At one point, a car salesman auditions just to meet her, and she quips, “I think you’re real cute.” The video starts after he says, “Dolly, is that you?” This is just pure fun.

• "Jesus & Gravity" (2006)

  This is one of Dolly’s songs that I always thought should have been a big hit. It was one of the rare songs not written by Parton. The music video, shot in black and white, shows Parton singing as well as scenes of people overcoming obstacles in their lives.

• "Better Get To Livin'" (2007)

  Broadway actress and movie star Kristin Chenoweth plays in this video that is circus-themed and shows Parton dressed as a circus conductor advising women to “get to living.” In true Dolly style, the song shows a positive attitude toward life, something she has always possessed.
