Patti LaBelle hit a high note with fans over the holiday season with her branded sweet potato pies from Walmart.
After a viral video review of the pie from Los Angeles-based entertainer James Wright Chanel, LaBelle’s pie sold out in stores around the country and the super chain ramped up production to fulfill orders.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}But can the legendary songstress score an encore success with her next desserts?
Walmart announced the release of two new #PattiCakes Monday. The first, a vanilla bundt cake drizzled with vanilla icing was released already. A three-layer caramel cake-- yellow cake filled with buttercream frosting and drizzled with a rich caramel sauce, will hit stores on the 18th.
Though the super store says it is still working to restock sweet potato pie orders, Walmart hopes the #PattiCake will take off just like its pie predecessor. Both cakes will be available year round but availability will differ by store location.

Ouch.
