Patti LaBelle, the famed singer, might soon be more famous for her desserts.
Seriously.
After LaBelle’s sweet potato pie went viral late last year – watch James Wright Chanel’s video and then think about the impact of LaBelle’s pie – Walmart has expanded the LaBelle line of desserts to feature five new desserts, according to CNN Money.
Those new desserts are berry cobbler, apple cobbler, peach cobbler, apple pecan cake and a sweet potato loaf.
LaBelle’s initial sweet potato pie offering went viral last November after Chanel’s YouTube video.
“We were selling one per second for a while after his video went live,” Walmart spokesman John Forrest Ales told CNN Money. “He posted that video and we sold out and had to quickly make more, a million pounds.”
But, with more Patti LaBelle goodness comes more Patti LaBelle pricing, apparently. Even though her initial sweet potato pie sold for $3.98, her cobblers will sell for $6.98, while the apple pecan cake will go for $9.98.
