I wish there was another term rather than dump cake. Still, this sounds like a yummy summer treat.

Great one! I could make this for 1 of our “Deck Days” here in the neighborhood. We basically spend the day with yummy snacks, treats & drinks on my neighbor’s back porch & just talk & hang out for the day. I love it.

Ooh that’s neat!!! When I was younger, there were block parties. The entire block was blocked off by a marker and a cop car. We grilled, baked, ate and partied!! Of course there were like fifty different types of music playing it was fun!!!

We have paths in our backyards that go to neighbor’s houses or we use golf carts to get to each other’s shindigs. Lol it’s a good time in the spring/summer/fall here. In the winter everyone is more coordinated with where we go & how we get there. Minimize being cold I guess.
Saturday I was having a fire & wound up with 3 sets of neighbors hanging out in the backyard & we ate dinner at the fire. We had golf carts parked on the side of our house. It works out nice when someone is injured or having a hard time getting around.
