- We are back with another Dolly Parton cake mix - Cooking with Carlos episode. As you all know we received a lot of Dolly Parton coconut cake mixes during our North American tour! They were all from the brand Duncan Hines. Both of us are big fans of Dolly Parton so we really enjoyed these presents!
Last time we tried, it was a somewhat chaotic baking Dolly Parton coconut cake mix session, which you can watch here: • Trying out Dolly Parto... . The same day we tried to bake one of the other Dolly Parton cake mixes, and today you can see whether we managed to bake a cake or not! Hopefully we can make Dolly Parton proud this time around!
We hope you will enjoy it!

Carlos idea of putting his own twist on everything is the best guarantee for laughing whilst Arne is looking forward for the right moment to lick the spoon or the bowl. Best Comedy Boys💯Thank you❣️
the best 💖
Good cake but you didn’t need the cream inside Carlos, sorry to say Arne was right. But all the same it looked as if it was tasty.it’s just the cream making it slide. , with the quantity of it. . Never mind third time lucky, where would we be without a good laugh while your cooking. Haha😅 you have nothing to get the coconut to stick to on the side, but the cake looks good inside.
As someone else said, you need to use a mixer not a blender. Also, you need to cool the cakes thoroughly first otherwise the frosting melts. Then, place one of the layers on the plate with the flat side facing UP, frost it with about a third of the mixture and then place the other cake flat side DOWN and use the other two-thirds of the mixture to frost the top and sides. The addition of the whipped cream layer has made it slippery too. You could just enjoy that on the side.
It’s the cream that is making cake slide. I think you should serve the cake with cream, instead of mixing it with the frosting. Arne is shaping up as a baker, and Carlos you should be a little bit more patient. But it’s a success so enjoy!
The time to take cakes out of pans is 10 minutes
and yes thoroughly cool cakes otherwise the icing might melt .
After you press the coconut, Carlos, then you get to lick your fingers clean! That’s the way it works in my kitchen! 😁😋
Oh boys.. you need to be sure your cake is COMPLETELY cooled before frosting, or frosting melts… ❤
As much as I’m sure the baking tips are appreciated, I’m almost glad they just went for it and the cake was slipping and sliding around because I needed that laugh today 😂 ❤
Me too!!! 😂
you guys are sooooo funny. When I was a child, my mother made a cake with a layer of jello in the middle. When she carried the cake to the table, the jello started jiggling. She started laughing and the jello wiggled some more, and then she laughed more. And when she put it on the table, the jello wiggled right off the cake and down the table
So love that Carlos says Arne is in charge and then does what he wants anyway. Again, you had me laughing so hard I had to stop knitting.
OMG only you two can make a boxed cake mix look hard! Too funny! I laughed til I cried!
Really enjoyed this! It's what would happen if Inspector Clouseau tried to bake and frost a cake. Just remember: "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better!" ❤❤
Amen!
Love Clouseau!
You are using a blender you need to whip air into your batter. So you use a hand mixer which has whisks, which beat the mix to add air. You get a airy more fluffy cake.
Love the cooking episodes.
Yes. The immersion bender is shearing the batter. More loft if using a mixer
Also if you whip the frosting before you spread it, it gets more airy and fluffier ❤
Loving everyone’s comments here. Loving more this episode. I sure hope Dolly sees this. She has such a wonderful sense of humor. I know she would love you guys😂❣️😂
This is thoroughly delightful and endearing! Please never improve your baking skills. The raw creativity involved is perfection. And the cake looks scrumptious!
Cakes need to be cold before adding the frosting. Stir frosting in the can until fluffy. Place a ring of frosting on bottom layer then add whipped cream in the center to hold it in. Add top cake layer. Do a small amount of frosting over top and place in freezer to set the frosting; then add final layer of frosting. You both did great and the cake looked 🤤
I can't believe that Arne is cutting out the front of the box while giving directions! Jajaja!
I am a baker and you can add a small amount of the whipped cream to the frosting. After the frosting is lighter you then add more whip cream. It is called sacrificing the batter. 😉
Yes, but the key is you may add a “ small “ amount of cream to lessen the thickness of the icing.
@@Adele.N yes that can work too.
Carlos, your twists make us laugh. Whether you add your disastrous twists to make the baking fun, or whether you stick to the instructions and make Dolly proud, is up to you. The cake looks delicious anyway and I love the way Arne turned his back to the camera whilst he ate the rest of the cream. This is the best cooking show around. xxxx
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a quilter who is trying to learn quilting basics, which led me to you just a couple of weeks ago. As it is still snowy here in Michigan, I have been binge watching your videos. They are teaching me knitting and introducing me to you and your country, and making me laugh.
I love the two of you laughing together! Priceless. Never stop being yourselves!!!
What a wonderful episode! I don't know what I loved more the chaotic creative baking style or Carlos or Arne's compulsive cleaning and taste testing. It was the best of what fun in the kitchen should be. As someone who loves to bake and who has taken some of those classes Carlos was talking about here are some tips. Instead of buttering your baking pans take a bit of olive or vegetable oil on a paper towel and grease them well. With the cake pans you have, it will help them slide off. Next when your cakes are cooling...take a cerated knife and cut the " hump" or round part off the top part of your cake so that you have a nice even layer. The bonus is you get to taste your cake with those bits you've cut off. Lastly if your cake is sliding or if you want to make one that is more than 2 layers high. You can buy cake stabilizers that you insert inside the cake similarly like what Arne did with the squewer. Straws can also be used. Then when serving the cake you simply remove them as you come across them. Please continue to bake. This was the brightest spot I'm my day. Sending love ❤️
My husband and I were laughing so hard! You want some tips? Canned icing is hard so it’s good to stir it up so it softens. Letting the cake cool longer and putting the round side onto the plate would help as well! It looked so good in the end! ❤❤
It's always best to frost the sides of cake first. Then frost the top. As usual you had me in hysterics. You'll be experts by the time you go through all the mixes! Just love the two of you. Always makes my day.
I've seen bakers on TH-cam who frost the top first.
You may think you failed, but you brought us all humor for the day! Cooling the cakes are the best way to keep it from sliding.
you could make Dolly Parton cake every week and I would love it. But today I laughed do much I had to use my inhaler!
There is a difference between cooking and baking. In cooking there is a lot of room to be creative, and you can taste along the way. In baking it is more like chemistry/science if you change one thing it changes the composition, and you don't know how until it is finished baking, or when your putting the cake together Still the cakes have looked great, and by your reactions have tasted great, too. I think I want to see if they sell them near me and give one a try.
We are better cooks than bakers😀
Oh my, you guys are the best!! Please continue to be creative, it's so much more fun (which you know for sure!!). I love how Arne didn't want cream in the first place and then finished the bowl as soon as possible 🤣 Please, Carlos, keep being creative!! I just love the two of you cracking up over things, you bring so much joy and laughter to us. Thank you 🥰
I think you guys are fabulous.
I would gladly try one of your cakes anytime! Duncan Hines could use this as a promotional video. Wouldn’t it be fun if the two of you made a cake with Dolly Parton sometime???
That would be the perfect way for them to meet!
This was so much fun to watch. All that matters is that it tasted good in the end and you had some laughs making it. Thanks for sharing another baking session with us as it is always a good time and makes my day!
Guys add coconut between the layers to keep the cakes together. Also slice the tops to have flat layers.
I was crying until I watched you two. I am smiling. I love how you two can turn my frown upside down.
Thank you
I feel so accomplished when THEY bake! Thanks for the laughs!
The first 20 seconds and I am breathless with laughter. I totally understand how Arne can't begin organizing his knitting needles until he's embroidered something. I love it!
I watched this episode on my television just now. Don’t change Anything! Your cakes make me happy.❤
Omg I am crying laughing so hard I love you guys! It's like when my son was five and made my birthday cake for me. I never laughed so hard. Thank you, I needed that.
The best time in a kitchen I shared in a long time. Laughter is the best medication. What's going to work...team work. You guys are a great team.
Thank you for the 😂. Laughs are needed in the world. Dolly spreading joy through cake icing by Carlos.
What fun! Arne had the right idea with the skewer but you needed more of them and cut them off below the top of the cake. Tjis will stabilize your cake. Then remove them as you cut the cake. There is also such a thing as a naked cake where only the tops are frosted. Then if you want cream in the middle...make a ring around the layer with just frosting. Put your cream within the ring then place the top layer of your cake on top. The ring of frosting will hold the layers together and prevent the cream from dripping out. You could also put jam, lemon curd or cut up fruit in the center of the ring. All great choices! Keep the laughs coming as we all need and appreciate them.
Must wait till cake is absolutely cool before frosting! You guys are funny without trying. Betty Crocker doesn't have to worry that you'll steal her thunder! Stick to fiber arts fellas! Love you both! Thanks for the laugh!
Omg …. I love your baking episodes because I know I’m going to giggle a lot. As long as it tastes good, you are not entering any baking competitions after all. I love your muddled method so much more 😊
Thank you!
Oh, you guys I love you so much! This was so much fun! I felt I was right there in the kitchen! Bless you! Love, love!
Make sure your cake is completely cool. A warm cake will melt the frosting. Use a metal cake spatula to spread the frosting. Dipping it in a glass of hot water helps spread the frosting. You can mix the whipped cream with the frosting in small quantities to make a fluffier frosting. But not much. Whip the cream to stiff peaks before you add it. Most important....make sure those cakes are cooled down all the way. If all else fails,....use a 9x13 pan for a one layer cake.
How about a slice of cake on a plate with whip cream on the side? You can both be happy. 😁❤
The last time you made a Dolly Parton cake I hadn’t laugh so much, you two were hilarious!
Enjoyed this episode. Arne’s antics and Carlos’ creativity always result in an entertaining episode. Fabulous! 💃
We are so excited for this rematch with American cake mix.
Lucy and Ethel bake a cake, I laughed so much I felt like I was choking, mil gracias!
Arne you are right, the cake should have been cold before frosting it so the frosting does not melt or seep into the cake and no cream in the middle because it just makes the layers slide around. Pure frosting (not mixed with cream Carlos!) is good and sticky, so keeps the layers stuck together making it easier to frost the top. Also, stick the flat sides together or else it’s like trying to frost the top of a spinning top when you try to decorate the top of the cake! Poor Arne was getting so upset, bless him, he gets so worried about his Dolly cakes! Domestic chaos in the Arne and Carlos house is pure joy to watch. Take care 👨🍳🎂🍰
Third time lucky! Can't wait for the next one. I love that you want to put your twist on things Carlos but also that you admit when you are wrong (like the cream). Arne, keep licking the spoon!! You two made me laugh and made my day, never change.xxx
Just watching this now. I like you two so much, no matter what happens, and lots happen planned or not, you are never mean to each other and you enjoy what you do. Bravo!
❤️
so many laughs and cakeastrophies!!! Arne and Carlos, you guys are a great team. I do like Arne's idea of you guys taking a cake decorating class! Film it! It would be awesome 👨🍳👨🍳
Also, I think your cake turned out just fine! loved that both of you patted the coconut onto the cake "real good" just like Dolly would :D
Thank you!
Love to watch and share a slice of your coconut confection. First layer of cake- put top of cake face down. Apply a thin coat of frosting to cover, then add additional frosting. The first thin layer of frosting is called a crumb coat. Frost the top and sides in the same way.
Turning the bottom layer ‘upside down’ will prevent the open gap between layers. You could even add a layer of whipped cream with the frosting…just imagine how honed in your skills will be after baking all in your Dolly inventory. It’s a pleasure watching you two experiment and have fun learning something new.🎉
Love love you two!!!!!!! Who needs the comedy channel when we have you to make us laugh and feel wonderful.
🫶🏻
Tip 1 turn the layer that you are using on the bottom upside down then frost on flat side. Tip 2 work with a completely cooled cake icing a fresh cake is really tricky. Tip3 next cake add either cream whipped with a bit of sugar or the icing but not both. Tip4 when you add the second layer put the flat side down so the two flats or bottoms of the cake are together and that should sole the sliding issue The top of the cake is the rounded part. Also, if your bottom cake does not lay flat on the kickplate, you can trim the bump off the cake. It will be the bottom of the cake and no one will see it and Arnie can eat it lol so fun to watch keep practising guys.
You guys did great!! Maybe one tip to keep everything from sliding around, is place the flat sides of the 2 cakes together in the middle
(first layer on the platter would go upside down....put your filling on, then place second cake layer on top, right side up)
Love to ❤️ you both from Montana!
I love that 'serving' plate you've got. Arne tasting everything! Moose, moose, Freja! x I love skewer through the centre of both cakes! So much fun always watching you both baking or cooking. Thank you. 💕
I have never had so much fun watching someone bake a cake! You are more fun in the kitchen than you should be!!!
I loved this video! Carlos laughing was the best part!
Another great Dolly Parton baking adventure! You guys are so fun to watch. I just finished watching John Kanell on his YT channel Preppy Kitchen bake and decorate cakes. You two back-to-back with him were hilarious. Thank you for doing these!
It’s Perfection! Kinda 🥰 I hope that you continue with these creative twists on the 🍰 cakes; I will be sad if you make one “with mastery” - when you two get the giggles, it makes me so happy 😃
I'm sure I was not alone in holding my breath while Carlos moved the cake from the table over to the counter so that the table could be cleaned off. I was afraid the top layer of the cake would slide off onto the floor and become a treat for Freja! Good job Carlos!
...which would have been great video if we are honest! lol
OMG, this has to be one of the funnest videos yet.
i really love that you encourage everybody to bake such a cake
you lighten up my day ❤❤❤
Poor Arne wanted perfection. Here's a tip flip the bottom layer so the flat side is up. No whip cream in the middle. You guys had me in stitches!
👍🏻👍🏻😍
Love watching the two of you. Have for several years. I want to try cooking with Dolly's cake mixes. One thing I do with a cake mix is cook cookies. My grandkids love to help me make the cookies. They are quick and take less time tell they can lick the bowl, beater & eat the cookies.
Recipe is Mix in a mixer (or stir) dry cake mix, 2 eggs & 1/2 cup oil in a bowl. This makes a thick batter that we use a small ice cream scoop to plop the batter on a cookie sheet. I get about 12 cookies spaced out on a cookie sheet a (it will spread a little). Bake 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 - 12 minutes. Frost with frosting when cool. The coconut cookies would be good with coconut sprinkled on top after frosting.
That is clever
You guys make my day every time i watch one of your videos. Thank you.
We did a cross border trip to N.Y. State last week , we saw the Dolly cake mixes , didn’t buy any ( not in Canada yet ) might have to return to buy and try some . Arne & Carlos …you two are sooooo enjoyable to watch ! What a good laugh , laughing with you both ! Skip the cream !
So many very good comments! Another one is: if you want event tastier coconut, spread it very thinly on a baking sheet and toast it for only a few minutes in the oven, cool,then set it aside. Do this in advance of baking your cake layers. Sprinkle it on with your fingers and gently pat on the iced cake. Don’t add any cream!
Low speed, medium speed, LOL! Funniest episode ever! I bet Dolly is howling with laughter too!
We hope so!
Your laughter is infectious! I wouldn’t give up on the cream, but maybe try mixing some of the frosting in with it. Hey, you have plenty to try and it’s going to taste good either way. And use a warm metal knife to frost… ? Maybe?
The two Norwegian Princes bake an American cake...LOL...I love the baking episodes
Tonight I’m feeling well from a cold and you guys and the Dolly cake are better than medicine-you are the best
I gotta say - it's so much fun to watch when you mess up than if it was done perfectly - looks yummy - that's all that matters! Love you guys!
First, always follow the directions. Do not embellish. Thirdly, place the round side of the cake "down". Do not add whipping cream. I'm sure it tasted great. I can smell the coconut from there. Thanks, guys, for an enjoyable episode.
I laughed till I cried! So much joy watching you two make that cake!
I love watching you two cook. you two make my day 😊
Fun video. I recommend cutting off the "butts" off the cakes after they cool. The butt is the rounded top - cut it straight across. Second, put the cut side down on the cake plate . The butts you can freeze for a snack for some later date or nibble on now. Third, spread the jarred icing on the smooth side that is facing up. Place the second cake on top - cut side down on the frosting that you just spread. The two together should be level - no rounded top. Then you could spread whipped cream frosting (that Carlos made) on top or use the rest of the jarred icing. The jarred icing is quiet thick and that is why the cake would slip around when you were spreading the jarred frosting with having whipped cream on the inside. Whipped cream is quiet soft. Then as you did, sprinkle coconut around the sides (like Arne did) and on the top of the cake.
It is fun to watch you both cake bake. 🇬🇧
Gentlemen, thank you for such great entertainment! May I suggest….whip the cream for sure ( who doesn’t like cream?) but then simply put a dollop on each slice, after you cut it!? 😘😘😘
Thank you!
❤Using a flat metal spatula would be more effective in spreading the frosting? Enjoyed your segment.
Yes. An offset spatula for spreading.
My dears...thank you for the wonderful cooking show..kitchens are so dangerous for some of us.
Thank you so much.
Such a good laugh I had when I heard you both laughing. I'm sure it tastes great. "The oven has just declared itself available". I loved that.
I love how you two have different ideas on how to do things, and some how it turns out, the Arne and Carlos way. Keeps a smile on my face.
A few tips: A bent frosting spatula is so helpful. If the frosting is too stiff, whip in just a touch (no more than 1 teaspoon at a time) of milk. For the bottom layer, I use a large serrated knife to horizontally cut off the "dome" to give you a flat surface on which to place the second layer. When you frost the first layer, use enough frosting to push some off to cover the sides of the bottom layer. Now, half of the cake is totally frosted. If the second layer won't stay in place, use two or three skewers. Let the frosting set before cutting into it. I am giving you a lot of credit for trying and having fun, and as you say, it still tastes the same, but if you make a perfect cake, we wouldn't have these fun videos!
Thank you for the tip!
I just wanted Dolly Parton to walk in the kitchen and ‘Howdy! What in the pea picking world are you boys doing?’ Arne would collapse with joy. You made me laugh out loud. Thank you!
That would be amazing!
Don’t worry it will taste delicious.
The best analogy I can think of is buying an A&C knitting pattern and deciding I'm going to crochet it using wire instead of yarn and then deciding to block it in paint instead of steaming it and then wondering why it didn't fit. This would be a very good commercial for Betty Crocker. 😊
Your coconut seems much more finely cut than American coconut. Ours is in shreds at least a centimeter long; yours looks like snow.
That is funny!
Arne, you are getting me addicted to making a scrapbook. Sounds like fun. You two are so funny and help me feel better since I have a cold , cough.and chills. I love cake especially coconut cake. Yummy yummy yummy 😊
I love Carlos's baking.
I’m sorry you felt your cake was a failure but I have to say this episode was a stunning success! I laughed so hard I was crying! Tips…cake should cool completely before frosting and layer the flat sides together in the middle. If the rounded side placed on the plate is too rounded for your liking you can shave the rounded part off the top of that layer before flipping it over on the plate. If you do that, make sure the cut side faces the plate and the bottom as it baked in the pan is now in the middle. The cut side will tend to crumble when you spread the icing. You want to spread the icing on an uncut side.
Thank you so much!
Such a fun, wild episode 🥰👍😂 Thanks A&C you are always a joy to be with 🎂 Hope the cruise is going well 🛳️🤗
It is, thank you!
I so hope that Dolly gets to see the videos! Love you both
Just as much fun as the first cake 😁 I laughed so much watching Arne press the coconut! I bet it was delicious 😋
It was!!
Starting @ 24:00 I LOST it!😂
Seeing you guys chase that slippery top layer around like mad and ythen impale it with the skewer made me laugh til I snorted!
Moose! Moose!
Hi Arne and Carlos. Love watching you two in the kitchen. Makes my day.
Yes let the cakes cool completely. Before you put the cake on the plate Put a little frosting on the dish first to hold the cake in place. Also round side of cake down so flat side is facing up to frost. second layer flat side down so flat side on top of flat side then frost. You will get the technique right. Keep practicing. I love your pretty cake plate ❤
We will have to remake these one day!
Oh my goodness! Thank you Arne and Carlos for turning a bad start to my day into laughter😆🤣 Poor Arne, Carlos is so messy and Arne doesn't want a mess in the middle😂 If you guys are going to continue your baking tradition you need an icing spatula, they are very long and metal. I love how Arne keeps going back to his needlework, he really doesn't like cooking but his love for Dolly trumps it! I think you would have been ok if, like Arne said, you had the centre cake flat and mixing the cream and a bit of icing together before putting in the middle. Carlos is a 'good enough' guy and Arne is the perfectionist (like me!)🥥🥥🥥🥥
So fun! Thank for brightening my morning. I have an incredibly uncreative job that just drains me, so this helps lift my spirits.
This is a sitcom! I haven’t laughed so much in ages!!
You guys are too funny. I’m crying with laughter! Flats sides together next time Thanks for the entertainment
Again, a fab episode. 💖I saved it until today to watch as it’s my birthday, and you didn’t disappoint! Made me hungry, so I’m popping the kettle on for a cup of tea and some cake. ☕🎂 Thank you!
Happy Birthday Millie!
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you! 💖
Such a fun episode. Lot's of laughing out loud! I'm so glad you guys can laugh at yourselves! We enjoy it so much too. In Carlos's defense, in my opinion baking is a far more precise procedure than cooking. You actually need to follow the directions accurately unless you have the experience needed to alter the recipe. There may be some assumptions of "how to" when it comes to cake mixes from America as well. No worries, it tastes good no matter what it looks like! haha
I agree. Baking is chemistry in action, so directions need to be followed exactly.
Your baking makes me feel hungry lol! Have fun. Be well, Sally 🌹
I think I’m with Carlos on the being creative twist--how about a little dark rum in the cake batter, some pineapple chunks between the layers, and waaa-LAH! A piña colada cake! 😊
Ooh
