- Опубліковано 11 бер 2023
- 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… ❤
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
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!!! 😂
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.
I can't believe that Arne is cutting out the front of the box while giving directions! Jajaja!
OMG only you two can make a boxed cake mix look hard! Too funny! I laughed til I cried!
Also if you whip the frosting before you spread it, it gets more airy and fluffier ❤
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!
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😂❣️😂
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 🤤
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.
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
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
This is thoroughly delightful and endearing! Please never improve your baking skills. The raw creativity involved is perfection. And the cake looks scrumptious!
I love the two of you laughing together! Priceless. Never stop being yourselves!!!
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.
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!
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😀
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! ❤❤
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!
How about a slice of cake on a plate with whip cream on the side? You can both be happy. 😁❤
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 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.
Lucy and Ethel bake a cake, I laughed so much I felt like I was choking, mil gracias!
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!
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 UA-cam who frost the top first.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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 👨🍳🎂🍰
We are so excited for this rematch with American cake mix.
The two Norwegian Princes bake an American cake...LOL...I love the baking episodes
Thank you for the 😂. Laughs are needed in the world. Dolly spreading joy through cake icing by Carlos.
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!
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 😃
❤Using a flat metal spatula would be more effective in spreading the frosting? Enjoyed your segment.
Yes. An offset spatula for spreading.
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!
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 ❤️
I watched this episode on my television just now. Don’t change Anything! Your cakes make me happy.❤
Love love you two!!!!!!! Who needs the comedy channel when we have you to make us laugh and feel wonderful.
🫶🏻
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!
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.🎉
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
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.
Don’t worry it will taste delicious.
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!
Low speed, medium speed, LOL! Funniest episode ever! I bet Dolly is howling with laughter too!
We hope so!
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.
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!
👍🏻👍🏻😍
This was so much fun! Now I'm wishing there were more than just two flavors of Dolly cake. Thank you so much for the laughs! ❤️
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!
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 last time you made a Dolly Parton cake I hadn’t laugh so much, you two were hilarious!
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 !
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!)🥥🥥🥥🥥
I loved this video! Carlos laughing was the best part!
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 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!
Enjoyed this episode. Arne’s antics and Carlos’ creativity always result in an entertaining episode. Fabulous! 💃
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!
❤️
I'm laughing so hard watching you frost this cake my jaw hurts😅😅😅
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.
OMG, this has to be one of the funnest videos yet.
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
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!
Another Sunday laugh fest - thank you!!!
I’m having a flashback to the gingerbread house 😂😂😂
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
My son (7 years old) and I love to watch your baking videos! The gingerbread house video will be an annual Christmas tradition from now on! This was wonderful and so fun to watch, please never change! My son is requesting an ice cream video next 😂 It would pair beautifully with your next cake! Thanks for the laughs 🎂🍨😄
You guys are too funny. I’m crying with laughter! Flats sides together next time Thanks for the entertainment
I have never had so much fun watching someone bake a cake! You are more fun in the kitchen than you should be!!!
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!
This is a sitcom! I haven’t laughed so much in ages!!
Oh how I wanted to step in and take over for the two of you. I am 82 and been making cakes for 70 years
We would have needed you!
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!
i really love that you encourage everybody to bake such a cake
you lighten up my day ❤❤❤
My dears...thank you for the wonderful cooking show..kitchens are so dangerous for some of us.
Thank you so much.
Who would have thought watching two people making a cake could be so entertaining!!! I love your interaction. Brilliant as always. 😂 Greetings from on board Hurtigruten MS Nordkapp on its north bound journey to Kirkenes. xxx
Ok, so I almost laughed as hard at this endeavor as I did at the making of the Christmas star! You guys make me laugh so hard it hurts!!😂😂
Tips… cut a bit off the top of the bottom layer to flatten it. Whip the icing before decorating to get some air in it. You could lightly toast the coconut in the oven or in a dry frying pan to add a different flavour. If you want cream in the middle, pipe some icing at the edges and put the whipped cream inside. The icing will stick to the top layer and hold in the cream. Your cake did look yummy and sounds like you enjoyed it.
Tonight I’m feeling well from a cold and you guys and the Dolly cake are better than medicine-you are the best
You guys make my day every time i watch one of your videos. Thank you.
I laughed so hard my lung popped out of my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!! You two are a riot!!!
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!
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!
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! 💖
I've not made cake from a mix in a long time, but I'm sure that the cake mixing and baking part are going to be the same for all of these. The variations will appear in the frosting and decorating parts. I do have a quick tip when assembling layers...
In order to keep the cakes from sliding, cut the rounded side off the top of the bottom cake. Use a bread knife, or something with a serrated edge, hold it as flat (level) as possible and cut at the height where the sides stop. This way you have a flat surface for the frosting and second cake to stay put.
Also, Carlos, when trying a recipe for the first time, it's best to follow it as close as you can. Once you see how it turns out, then you can play with variations because you will have an idea on how much you'd need to change it up. You've said you have many boxes of these cake mixes, so there's plenty of time for creative fun. And I'm sure we all want to see videos of those cakes too. I know I do!
Other than that, I think you guys are doing great! It's hard to try recipes when you can't get the ingredients that they call for.
I can't even! 😂 Makes me want to buy a ticket right now and come help you. Best "how not to make a boxed cake" ever! America is ROTFL.😅
In the US, the pudding referred to is a dry mix that you add milk to. Jello instant pudding is a popular brand here. This episode was very enjoyable!
I love Carlos's baking.
❤ Love your cooking/baking episodes. With layer cakes, try putting flat to flat - have the bottom layer with flat side up and the top layer flat side down. 😊
I just love watching you both …such a comedy!! 😂😂
Arne is right. no cream! Cool cake completely. Arrange the layers so that flat sides meet in the middle. When frosting don’t put it all on top and then hope to spread it on the sides. Save some to apply directly to the sides. Follow directions which are not confusing!
