Dump! Poke! Bundt! No, we haven't lost our mind or nor have we taken up football. We are here to help you make a tasty dessert arsenal and you will leave this class with all the right plays for a winning — and easy — holiday season! The threesome of easy baking books we wrote is the answer. The latest book, Delicious Bundt Cakes, was just released, and prior to it, Delicious Dump Cakes and Delicious Poke Cakes set the pace for homemade goodness in a snap. All are super easy, but have unsurpassed flavor and have that "show-stopping" quality we all want on the holiday table. The books sold out on QVC and now we can share them with you. We will prepare a recipe from Delicious Dump Cakes and bake it during the class, so you will get to taste it hot out of the oven. Next, we will show you how easy it is to add a surprising, flavor-packed poke to a baked cake in a recipe from Delicious Poke Cakes. Then, every holiday buffet needs a Bundt cake, so we will share three recipes from Delicious Bundt Cakes. For those beautiful Bundt cakes, we will begin with Orange Date Nut Bundt Cake, a delightful dessert or a perfect bite with your morning coffee. We will share Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Ginger Swirl which is a tasty change of pace dessert for Thanksgiving and the grand finale will be the Chocolate Whoopie Bundt Cake which is filled, glazed and decadent. Yes, you get to taste as we go through the recipes and we guarantee that you will have a sweet evening! Remember, a cake makes a great gift and is a welcome change from a plate of cookies, while the cookbooks are an ideal gift.
