Pumpkin Dump Cake
Dump cake ... not the most eloquent name for a dessert, but it's A-MAZ-ING! I grew up with all kinds of fruit-flavored dump cakes making their appearance at church potlucks or after Sunday dinner.

Retro Recipe Redo: Carrot Bars
Carrot cake, an old-fashioned lots-a-labor treat, gets a kick from fresh zucchini and an easy carrot-cake mix -- vintage taste with wee effort! I get a real itch for comfort food around this time of year. Problem is, I'm not a food kind of a girl. I'm a straight up, born and bred, shamelessly addicted to sweets kind of girl.

Chocolate Truffle Cake Pops
Cake pops have been all the rage ever since they burst onto the scene a few years back. Pay a pretty penny for them or -- better yet -- make them yourself! Pretty mounds of cake and frosting on a stick? What’s not to love?! Well, for one thing … cake pops can be a rather finicky recipe. They can be gloppy. They can be bloppy.
