About Dump Cake Diva

I’ll bet you’re wondering “Who is this fabulous Diva, and how have I lived without these magnificent recipes?”

Well, maybe not, but I’ll tell you anyway …

My name is Cheryl Risner.  I am a writer, publisher, artist, and baker.

After many classes – and much practice – I became a pretty good amateur cake decorator.  I took great pride in creating beautiful cakes for special occasions, and I even made a few wedding cakes for friends and family.

But creating pretty cakes was time-consuming (and stressful).  And sometimes I had to sacrifice taste to get the desired effect.

And my kitchen was always looked like a war zone!  I sort of felt like I was letting myself – and everyone else – down.

Eventually, I’d had enough of the stress and mess.  

I decided to get a new perspective.  

So when I needed to take a dessert to an office party, potluck dinner or family reunion, dump cakes became my go-to favorite.

And they were always a hit! 

I always got lots of compliments and requests for my recipes … and I always went home with an empty pan.

So I decided to find ways to elevate the dump cake to a higher status in the dessert world.  I’ve created and curated the ultimate collection of dump cake recipes – guaranteed to fit any occasion.  And  I’m excited to share some of the deliciousness in these pages.

Enjoy!
