I had never heard of a Dump Cake before so I  was interested in finding out more about them and possibly giving one a try. It turned out to be interesting, and more entertaining then I had thought.I had my family, which numbers near 20 when they all show-up, over for a celebration recently. I told them about this book I just read about dump cakes and a few had heard of them but had not made them. My family does not have any young kids in the group right now and they are extremely competitive. A few of them looked at the book and a contest was on. Three cakes were going to be made and no one could agree on how the cakes would be judged but that didn't stop anyone. A trip to the grocery store for ingredients and we were ready to go.The three cakes we made were the Pumpkin Spiced Dump Cake, the Blueberry Dump Cake and the Chocolate Banana Dump Cake. As it says in the book the ingredients are readily available and the cakes are easy to make. It turned into a great group activity and involved just about everyone. The cakes are so simple yet so delicious everybody loved them. I talked a lot about my family here but the book is what increased the fun and gave us great cakes to choose from for dessert.As I mentioned I had not heard of Dump Cakes before. This book is easy to read and the cakes were simple to make and they are truly a delicious dessert. I will be making dump cakes for dessert very often in the future.I highly recommend this book. The price is right and I was thrilled with the results.
