Who is Kathy Mitchell and why is she pushing "Dump Cakes" on us?

Never heard of her. She's got a good gimmick, even though it's not a new one. Many of today's fraus and others can't cook. Google "dump dinners" and you've got plenty of options.

She's been around forever. Back in the 90s my brother and I got sucked into buying her Snackmaster sandwich-maker machine. This infomercial used to run constantly on late night cable (alterating with the Cher hair product ads.)

I have an even better recipe.

Good lord, those meals do look like she took a dump.

Dump and bake? Don't tease me!

Shit in my mouth!

I'm always fascinated by United States cuisine. The things you'll happily stuff in your collective gullets is a never-ending source of entertainment.

She is the frankenfrau.

Do you think she gets laid often?

[quote]Do you think she gets laid often?

No, but she looks like she lays eggs often.

Martha Stewart and I like to refer to those as Dinners and Desserts for those who just don't give a fuck.

When I think DL Frau this lady isn't the image I have in my head. She's rather sweet, actually.

But I roared when she dumped a can of "diet" soda into that congealing mass of processed carbs to make it a "guilt-free" dessert. Like the lady in front of you in checkout with Doritos, 3 rolls of Pillsbury cookie dough and a six-pack of diet Pepsi.

"Dump Cakes" is a rather unfortunate name for a cookbook. It sounds like something a real Frau would say to encourage her iPotty-bound sprog. "Diddums make dumpcakes for Mommie..hmm?" Urp.

[quote] It sounds like something a real Frau would say to encourage her iPotty-bound sprog. "Diddums make dumpcakes for Mommie..hmm?" Urp.

Based upon some of the recipes that have been shared here; it sounds like a cookbook authored by Datalougers.

Does Danny Thomas know about this?

CATHY Mitchell, not Kathy. As R2 says, she's been around for years, doing infomercials for various dubious cooking products. Like the Pasta Boat, Turbo Cooker, GT Express, etc. She's just an infomercial whore, like Anthony Sullivan and the late Billy Mays.

What do you guys think about microwave mug cakes? I haven't tried them but the idea of a single serve appeals to me.Or I could just buy a cupcake.

A liberal cake is a conservative cake that hasn't been mug caked.

I remember Kathy Mitchell's individual pie-making gadget, which was supposed to help you make McDonald's-style individual pie/turnover things.

Imagine a George Foreman grill with two wells in it. Kathy put a slice of Wonder Bread in each well, spooned in canned apple filling, and pressed it all together until it was toasted.

Great late-night frautertainment.

I already posted about this on the "Commercials You're Hating Now" thread.

R15 So easy, and......you can call yourself a baker!

For R17 (skip to 7:00)

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

She really was uber-Frau in the early days, but I think she's too old to be considered a frau now.

She's the ultimate Frau's Frau.

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. It's actually not bad for singles and couples.

Sandra Lee, she's coming for you!!!

[quote] No more spending hours making cakes from scratch

As of it hadn't occurred to someone who didn't want to spend hours making cakes from scratch to purchase Entenmann's or a supermarket cake or a box of Duncan Hines mix.

When I saw "dump cake" I thought of those horrid kitty litter box cakes that fraus make,

Oh, my lord she still brings back horrible memories. In the mid-2000s, I worked for GoodTimes, the company that sold the GT Xpress 101 and other infomercial scams (e.g. The FIRM, Billy Blanks Bootcamp, and other workout DVDs and accessories.) They eventually went bankrupt and the assets were sold to Gaiam but GT still existed and I continued to work there for a while.

Anyway, Cathy/Kathy hawked the GT Express 101 which was a poorly made POS from China. It still exists as the Xpress Redi-Set-Go which is probably just as bad.

GT was a truly evil company which specialized in scamming people with outrageous shipping charges not mentioned in the infomercial, "free" items which shipped with charged ones (and a separate shipping charge for each item), and continuities--continued shipments with unexpected and wanted charges for the unlucky customer stupid enough to purchase from an infomercial.

Naturally, you could return the unwanted and unordered items at your own expense, minus the shipping charges which weren't refunded.

[quote]CATHY Mitchell, not Kathy

The confusion probably comes from the fact that, to this day, the website for the Xpresss cooker still spells her name one way in some places and another in other places.

Today you can buy most of the infomercial products in stores everywhere.

R28 If you wanted to buy something from an infomercial, that would be the way to go. At least there was no chance of enormous shipping fees or recurring charges.

But given my experiences with GT, and all the BBB and Attorney General complaints I had to handle, I've come to the conclusion that anything sold on an infomercial is worthless.

My favorite of the past few years is Cindy Crawford and her face cream made from a "rare melon found only in France." Yeah...

And then a month or two later you can often find them for a fraction of their original prices at Big Lots or a dollar store.

I got fat years ago by dumping a can of cherry pie filling in in a baking dish and topping it with yellow cake mix and pads of butter. Eat with Cool Whip or ice cream! I finally lost all the weight but I'm sure tempted to try this again!

R29: Not always so. I love my PED EGG. It works like a charm.

R31: You sound like Goldie Hawn's character, Helen, in "Death Becomes Her".

R6, hate to break it to you but most of that food you laugh is not eaten by anyone other than white trash aka chavs.

I love Cathy, she is a liberating cook. I have had numerous GT express units. I buy them at thrift stores for $5 or less. The coating wears off so I always have one in waiting. I use it all of the time.

Her dump cakes are a hoot and delicious.

I could never work for a company that rips people off. I just couldn't live with myself.

R27 Is it just me, or does that rare melon from France look exactly like the ninety-nine cent cantaloupe from Aldi's ?

I have a tendency towards casseroles and crock pot fare and am lazy as fuck in the kitchen, but this "Dump Dinner and Dump Cake" thing is disgusting. It looks like someone ate a bunch of crap and shit it out onto a platter. At that point, just order some damn delivery food.

I Like the ped egg, too. I also like the HD sunglasses and the Sliding Susan.

This thread cracks me up. That commercial is always on networks like ME, Antenna TV, COZI, etc. I'm always like WTF is a dump cake? What a nasty name for a cake. Is it made of poo?

Wendy Williams was plugging the bacon cups, says they're a must for bacon lovers.

And don't forget the companion book to Dump Cakes. It's called Dump Dinners.

I wish I were kidding.

Brought to you from the makers of "Tea-Bag Party"...

Thank you, r20! I'd completely forgotten about the creepy old man who comes in at the end.

"Mine's got some APPLES in it!"

Mmm dump. Sounds delicious.

[quote]I could never work for a company that rips people off. I just couldn't live with myself.

Let me know when you find one. I think pretty much any company rips people off to some degree or another.

Someone needs to resurrect Shirley Booth to play her for the Lifetime Movie Network.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this.

It's also the way she says "dump." Just the way she says it.

Whatever, the melon thing isn't fake. It's a breed of melon that lasts much longer than normal because it has a higher amount of the chemical Superoxide dismutase. So, the theory is if you use skincare with this same ingredient your skin will stay youthful. It's like antioxidants.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

[quote] I think pretty much any company rips people off to some degree or another.

One that charges people for things they didn't order is flat-out thieving and no amount of, "But everybody's doing it!" is an excuse.

Gosh, dump a bunch of crap in with some cake mix ..... sounds tough. Do I really need a book for that shit ?

Wasn't there a series of books like the Cake Mix Doctor or something like that a while back?

I'd like to invent a nice white cotton wrap to transport and present my Dump Dinners and Cakes to my weekly potluck with the fellas.

I'll enter with a flourish, announcing "Hey gang, here's my Diaper Dump!"

I know their mouths will water with anticipation.

I might even snag a mate.

I used to laugh at the fat fuck guy that followed her through the sandwich pocket maker thing infomercial. She fed him crap and he purred like he was blowing his load.

Yes, those little "pies" - Dinty Moore beef stew stuffed in wonder bread.

Warning bells sounded when I saw they'd send you a free Orgreenics pan. Those things are total shit.

Dump cakes are some kind of scat re outline, aren't they?

Dump cakes can't hold a candle to my special chocolate pie.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

It just shows that if you put your wet and dry ingredients into the oven, there's nothing preventing them from getting cooked!

The name is unfortunate, but cake is cake.

I sometimes smoke a lot of pot and usually wind up watching things like Burns and Allen on whatever the new Nick at Nite is called and this commercial is on often and the first few times I thought I was imagining it.

I can't believe she's still around. I remember her hawking that sandwich maker thing YEARS ago. My friends and I used to imitate her "Mine has a little weenie inside" line she would say when revealing the little cocktail frank inside the pocket of dough.

About a year ago, I saw her shilling for some other product and was amazed she looked the same AND was still using her stock "I make these at home all the time and the kids LOVE it!" What kids??? Even her grandkids would be grown by now! Is it her collection of American Girl dolls she calls her "kids"?

There's not much on TV tonight, so I'm streaming the oeuvre of Cathy/Kathy Mitchell on Roku and laughing my head off.

She just poured boxed corn muffin mix into the Snackmaster and said, "When I'm feeling CREATIVE, I might add some diced pineapple for HAWAIIAN CORN BREAD."

This is truly Peak Frau!

Oh, God, she just took some "leftover instant mashed potatoes" and mixed in canned tuna to make Tuna Puffs.

"This makes a lovely light lunch with a salad.

[quote]Tuna puffs???

Well, maybe your cat would eat them.

I'm embarrassed to admit I bought one of these (see link) from HSN. It's basically just Wolfgang Puck's version of the Snackmaster-- he just calls it a "pie and pastry maker." I've never used it. (I'm Anonymous and I'm a shopaholic.)

Oops! Forgot the link.

OK, I'm on to Kathy's "TurboCookerPlus" commercial. It's a giant domed skillet contraption with racks that's supposed to cook all the ingredients in one dinner all in one huge covered pan.

Kathy just made a coffee cake with "reduced-calorie Bisquick" and a can of diet orange Sunkist soda -- "because who needs all those extra calories?"

And she has a TurboCookerPlus going with a layer of shrimp on the bottom and a boxed pan of praline brownies on the rack -- steaming together. Shrimp and brownies in one covered pan.

Why is this woman not a Datalounge saint? She makes Sandra Lee look like Escoffier.

I'll bet money that she lived in Evansville, Indiana at one point. They eat shit like that.

I like my orgreenics pancake pan.

Any nude photos of her?

[quote] Why is this woman not a Datalounge saint? She makes Sandra Lee look like Escoffier

I'm laughing my ass off

R75=Andrew Cuomo.

She's been hocking those hot sandwich makers for at least 20+ years. Bought one years and years ago when they first came out. I was amazed how she would lift the scalding hot sandwich out of the maker by using her long fingernails. never a burn for our dear Kathy.

Back when she started I was impressed at how many of those thingies she had going at once.

Maybe it should be an olympic event for chubby people with long fingernails.

I first saw Cathy and her dump cakes earlier in the spring. I had never seen her before. How did I manage that? The concept isn't too far fetched. Does anyone remember a cake mix from the '70s and early '80s that came with its own small, square cardboard pan that the ingredients would be stirred in before being popping it into the oven? No beaters, no mess. I can't recall the name

I would love to see a hot spot map depicting which areas in the U.S. has the most "dump" foods consumers.

Stir 'n Frost

I found it. Betty Crocker's Snackin' cake mix later followed by Stir n Frost

I want Edie McClurg to do "TurboCookers and Dump Cakes: The Kathy Mitchell Story."

Despite the fact that these cakes are probably disgusting, can't anyone get the same or similar recipes for free online?

Not to get too off topic, but you should all check out the "Eggmaster Vertical" if you really want to see something ridiculous. It's basically a Fleshjack that cooks eggs - I'm not kidding.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kathy was a millionairess.

She's been hawking Dump Cakes, Dump Dinners & other kitchen gadgetry crap for a couple of decades.

Soon as the camera's off, I bet she laughs herself all the way to the bank.

And then goes to a five-star restaurant for dinner.

Stir 'n' Frost cakes were the bomb!

I found this online article about how some people watch Cathy's infomercials as "comfort food". I started to read the comments, some of which are hilarious, and then I came across this one from La Mitchell herself!

[quote]Well, Cathy Mitchell here. Had to jump in and comment. It can be dangerous to google your own name, and you must be prepared for the consequences. To set the record straight, first, I did not do the scrapbooking infomercial…that was Tina Lewis. Second, I do not drink or do drugs before filming and whether you believe it or not I wont “Just sell anything” I’ve been making infomercials since 1989…Snakmaster…and have turned down more products than I have done simply because I didnt want to be associated with something that dosnt work. Opinion as to whether putting gems on clothing is “cheesy” varies, however if you do want to do it the Gemagic does work. On a personal note, people do enjoy being my neighbor as I do bake and cook and test recipes and most often have to find someone to share all the food with. I live in Northern California, have 2 grown kids, assorted grandkids and a lot of young friends who call me mom, visit, call and enjoy the “Mom perks” without enduring “Mom lectures”. By the way, the Red hair is not a wig, and is for the most part, natural. I am on a few yahoo groups, one for Kitchen Appliances and Recipes and one for the Xpress101, where I join the conversatioon, share recipes and answer questions about my products and other kitchen stuff. If I make anyones day a little brighter, I’m glad and thanks for the possitive comments…If I make you crazy or you hate the commercial, please feel free to change the channel!

One can only imagine when she Googles again and this time finds Datalounge.

Cathy made D-Listed's "Hot Slut of the Day"!

"Start with fruit ... dump on your favorite cake mix ... and finish with a can of soda! Or you can use diet for a guilt-free dessert!"

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

Thanks to the magic of Youtube, I was watching the Dump Cake infomercial and this little number was suggested for me to watch.

When you're done making your dump cake, use this to clean your dump hole.

[quote]I want Edie McClurg to do "TurboCookers and Dump Cakes: The Kathy Mitchell Story."

I thought that Edie McClurg was dead but I'm glad to see that she is not. No one plays the nosy neighbor from better than she.

[quote] Tuna puffs???

That sounds rather tasty!

I love that woman. I could watch her white trash [italic]gourmet[/italic] infomercials for hours. PBS should give her a show, she'd put that cunt Katie Brown out of business.

[quote] I thought that Edie McClurg was dead but I'm glad to see that she is not.

I thought she was dead too. Not only is she still alive, but she's only 63. She was only in her 30's back in the 1980s when she was in "Ferris Bueller" and other assorted TV and movie roles. But it seemed like she was already about 50 by then.

Edie McClurg as Kathy Mitchell could join the award winning ranks of Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn, Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin, Reese Witherspoon as June Carter, Helen Mirren as HRH Betty and M as Maggie T! Edie McClurg IS Kathy Mitchell!

Maybe the question should be "...and why is she DUMPING Dump cakes on us?"

What a dump!

"Stop feeling threatened by homemade desserts because of how complicated they are."

Has cathy presented hole?

She did do Kathy Mitchell of sorts in Master of Disguise. No, it's ok, I'm not surprised that you wouldn't remember the movie.

R23, seriously? Do you know that jumping off a bridge is a bad idea even if you have never done it?

R102 = jumped off the bridge

R71, I'm laughing so hard at your comment that I'm choking. I can't believe people can make this stuff and eat it.

See Kathy Mitchell become disoriented and freaked out as she tries to do a demo with deranged man-child Dr. Steve Brule (John C. Reilly) on Check It Out!

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

Dammit, Kathy, quit pushing! Now I've got dump cake all over me!

OP, you sound like this is a new 'sensation.' Dump Cake has been around for years (although I've never heard of Dump Dinners).

My mom used to make dump cake back in the 50's & 60's. They're actually quite good - but of course, fattening as all fuck. Like everything, having it in moderation is the key.

For nostalgia, I'll make one once in a while (maybe 3 times in the past 10 years). I made one for a work holiday potluck - and everybody LOVED it. It was the first thing to disappear. And there is a novelty factor when you explain that it is a 'dump cake'.

R85 She's on her way. The Home Shopping Network is featuring her cookbooks, and they're flying off the shelves. They are a constant sell-out.

Gads, R92. That's the sort of infomercial that makes me afraid of falling asleep with the TV set on. The geometry looks all wrong. And how in the world are you supposed to maneuver 18" (oh my!) of hard plastic past the rim and wipe your bidnezz? It must be like jerking off with salad tongs.

Someone's grandma is making a cozy for one of these things as I type this, I just goddamn know it.

I saw that commercial. I am appalled that a cake mix and a can of pop now counts as a "homemade dessert."

Kathy/Cathy is a goddess. We are unworthy to even be on the same planet as her, let alone view these recorded moving pictures that She has deigned to bestow on us in her sainted benevolence.

[quote] They're actually quite good - but of course, fattening as all fuck.

Not if you use diet soda!

Kathy should team up with Sandra Lee to make a Dump Kwanzaa Cake.

"You love delicious homemade desserts -- but recipes can be so COMPLICATED and take so long to make!"

"One minute in the microwave and -- yummy PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DUMP CAKE!"

I love you, R114!

Cathy's appearance on the Steve Harvey Show was not a success. Steve was clearly skeptical and the audience was silent until she got to the part where she pours Cherry Coke over the cake mix. Then: groans and ewwws.

"Now think about this, ladies... there's no FAT in this cake."

But all is well in Frauland when the audience gets a free copy of the Dump Cake cookbook.

[quote]"Now think about this, ladies... there's no FAT in this cake."

So she's not counting the fat that's present in most cake mixes? (And it's usually hydrogenated, to boot.)

R114 If they can pull that off, Michelle will invite them to the White House for their diligent efforts to create healthy and tasty, simple and easy ethnic recipes for everyday meals.It's simply Congressional Medal of Honor worthy!

And who doesn't love a healthy, low fat dessert?

I suppose she has a "recipe" for dump lasagna. As if !

Dump meatballs? Stupido !

I want to be the meat in a Jan Terry/Cathy Mitchell sandwich!

R117 I'd say her appearance on Steve Harvey was a rousing success. Did you actually watch the whole clip?

I don't understand what the fuck she's selling.

Is it RECIPES for dump cakes? If so can't you just google that shit?

Or is it some kind of cake mix that doesn't need eggs or milk or water?

Most of that shit you can find on pintrest and frau blogs.

[quote] I don't understand what the fuck she's selling. Is it RECIPES for dump cakes?

Yes, it's 2 books of recipes for "dump cakes" and "dump dinners." Apparently, it also comes with a very small pan. All for a mere $27.98.

Since the whole point of the "dump" food phenomenon is that you just dump and bake, a recipe book seems silly. Why do you need to buy a book to tell you to dump a package of cake mix and a can of diet cola into a pan and put it in the oven? That probably explains why even the fraus are calling the books a scam and giving them 1-star reviews.

Dump cakes are a really old idea. People used to do them in the fifties and sixties as desserts for church. Cake mix manufacturers put them on boxes or in the manufacturer's cookbook. There's probably dump cake recipes from Jell-O, Kraft and who knows who else, going back to the thirties or even earlier.

One I've seen with a thousand versions is canned pie filling and pineapple and cake mix on top. People's grandmothers' had that. It was on the cake mix box. The one below is a family recipe, handed down. She's right, it's delicious and fattening as hell.

So some woman looked up some really old recipes, updated them and put them all in a book? Why didn't I think of that!

I seriously doubt she had anything to do with either the recipes or the book. One of the many infomercial/telemarketing firms came up with it (or bought it from someone) and hired her to shill it for them.

Because people have grown tired of the puu puu platter?

The Amazon reviews of Cathy's "Xpress Redi Set Go Cooker" say the paint on the outside "bubbles off" when the unit heats up, and that the non-stick coating is so cheap it peels off into the food. One person had tiny bubbles of red paint spitting and sizzling off the top of her cooker like overheated oil.

Not a lot of love for our Cathy on Amazon.

[quote] the non-stick coating is so cheap it peels off into the food

But there's no fat in that non-stick coating!

This reminds me of work fraus who would make kitty litter cake.

They thought it was hysterical to make seven layer cake or layers of pudding, then include chocolate "turds" and even buy a poop scooper to spoon it onto your plate.

Fucking sows.

[all posts by tedious, racist idiot removed.]

For those (like me) who were unfamiliar with Kitty Litter Cake:

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix

1 (12 ounce) package vanilla sandwich cookies

3 drops green food coloring

1 (12 ounce) package tootsie rolls

Directions

[quote]Prepare cake mixes and bake according to package directions (any size pan). Prepare pudding according to package directions and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup add a few drops of green food coloring and mix. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 of the remaining cookie crumbs, and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, you want the cake to be just moist, not soggy.

[quote]Line kitty litter box with the kitty litter liner. Put cake mixture into box. Put half of the unwrapped tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until softened. Shape the ends so that they are no longer blunt, and curve the tootsie rolls slightly. Bury tootsie rolls randomly in the cake and sprinkle with half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Sprinkle a small amount of the green colored cookie crumbs lightly over the top. Heat 3 or 4 of the tootsie rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle lightly with some of the green cookie crumbs. Heat the remaining tootsie rolls until pliable and shape as before. Spread all but one randomly over top of cake mixture. Sprinkle with any remaining cookie crumbs. Hang the remaining tootsie roll over side of litter box and sprinkle with a few green cookie crumbs. Serve with the pooper scooper for a gross Halloween dessert.

They should serve the Kitty Litter cake (with peanuts and candy corn) rolled up like stools inside the underwear like a chocolate shit burrito. And don't forget toilet paper to wipe your mouth.

This could be the answer to the frequent DL plea "Won't someone please shit in my mouth?"

I made some licorice and fashioned it into a small pile of fake dog shit so that an old guy I worked with could put it on the floor and yell at his grand kids for not letting the dog out. "Well if it isn't Trixie's crap what is it?", he yelled. Then he reached down and took a pinch and put it in his mouth. Those grand kids screamed and screamed.

Just give me cheesecake!

I flat out refuse to eat anything called a dump cake.

The kitty litter cake is the dictionary definition, iconic representation of what makes a frau a frau.

The best thing the Turbo Cooker does is allow you to cook pasta in the same pan where you make the sauce.

The non-stick coating is indeed not long lasting.

No, I wouldn't cook shrimp and brownies in it at the same time.

Are Dump Cakes featured on GOOP?

Did someone say Dump Cakes?

R142 Glass coffee table sold separately.

I just can't stop eating it!

OP just has to mention "fraud" 2 times in his post. He is the frau/ I hate children troll and you can tell he's mentally unbalanced.

Fraud? I don't see fraud mentioned.

My family and I love all Cathy's books. I love to cook but häve trouble standing for very long due to leg problems. Besides it has inspired my 13 yo daughter to help. She will fix supper by herself if I don't fell well,and it's purfect every time. Thanks Cathy for the BEST cookbooks EVER!!

Reminds me of a crude co-worker that informed me he was going to take a "dump."

Dump da dump dump dump..........

YUCK! just saw that heifer has a Dump Cooking recipe book out now in addition to her Dump Cakes shit.

I saw a cooking demo she did on the Today Show recently and dayum that looks like the CHEAPEST, NASTIEST shit ever.

No wonder why non-cooks and fatties love it.

She literally took canned pie filling, dumped it in a pan, dumped on cake mix powder, then put on slabs on butter, baked it and that was it. DISGUSTING

Whoever called her Frankenfrau was on the mark. The ads make me visualize cooks squatting over a baking pan and evacuating their bowels.

So glad you bumped this thread, R150. I had no idea that dump cake infomercial has been around since July. Only within the last couple of weeks did I see the ads for it. I was actually horrified watching it.

I love you, R11. Had the same reaction to the diet soda.

Wouldn't a "dump dinner" be the same as a casserole?

She is so annoying. The finished food products always looks like shit. Would anyone actually eat 'dump lasagna'?

[quote]As of it hadn't occurred to someone who didn't want to spend hours making cakes from scratch to purchase Entenmann's or a supermarket cake or a box of Duncan Hines mix.

Exactly.

The point of making cake from scratch is using "whole" ingredients, not processed shit. The woman's dumping pie filling and soda onto cake mix. If your ingredients are processed garbage, why even bother when you can just go buy a cake from the store?

Still laughing at "Pineapple Upside Dump Cake."

I couldn't believe this when I saw the commercial on TV. I don't like to cook much either but even I'm not THIS lazy! The dump food looks so gross.

Here's what I don't understand: They never show her mixing any of it, so are you not supposed to mix the ingredients before they go into the oven or do you just put it in the oven like that?

That can't be the case put wouldn't you end up with dry cake mix in parts of the pan?

Sorry, let me try that again

Here's what I don't understand: They never show her mixing any of it, so are you supposed to mix the ingredients before they go into the oven or do you just put it in the oven like that?

That can't be the case because wouldn't you end up with dry cake mix in parts of the pan?

r159 You just layer the ingredients as shown, and the cake bakes perfectly. I've made a cherry/pineapple version for years, and it always comes out right. It's delicious, and makes the house smell great in the bargain.

Who are you people who keep pushing this "Dump Cakes" thread on us?

You're vile. Now stop it.

[quote]Reminds me of a crude co-worker that informed me he was going to take a "dump."

Better than my former tool of a co-worker who wanted to borrow my magazine that I hadn't read yet because he wanted to go to the "library." Wall Street douchebag who was much older and had seniority, so I couldn't say no on only my fourth day at my very first job. Needless to say I told him to keep it.

OMG she is the Ultimate Frau! Canned pie filling, pre-packaged cake mix and a can of soda!

And the phrase "dump cake" is so unappetizing. It makes me think of someone taking a dump in a cake pan.

Stop being such a snob and enjoy some good cooking for what it is. Sheesh.

Nothing better than a nice dump dinner and a piece of dump cake after work. As good as anything in a five star restaurant, so get off the high horses.

I can see hipsters doing this for the kitsch aspect.

r162, my first job out of college was at an insurance company and the douchebag pig straight guys would take the claims folders - which everybody in the office had to handle - into the crapper with them. It was absolutely vile. I went through A LOT of hand sanitizer the whole time I worked there.

Anyway, back to Cathy - remember to add diet soda for less calories! If I didn't know better, I would think Datalounge created her.

[quote]Anyway, back to Cathy - remember to add diet soda for less calories! If I didn't know better, I would think Datalounge created her.

Oh, dear Cathy.

I would love to read some honest reviews of her Dump Dinners. They sound truly disgusting.

She's a doll, I think some of the out takes for those commercials would be a hoot. "Oh fuck this shit, I used an entire can of PAM and I can't get this crap loose" and "Who's a gal votta blow around here to get some electricity on this demo table?"

A co-worker brought a dump cake to a work pot luck. I was delicious. I even asked for the recipe and have made it several times.

I also keep the ingredients on hand in case someone drops by. It takes 5 minutes to throw together and the smell is out of this world

Dump Cake

Grease as 9x13in pan.Preheat oven to 350'.

Dump a can of pie filling in the pan (I love the cherry or blueberry pie filling) Dump as large can of crushed pineapple.

Stir very lightly.

Dump a box of yellow cake mix evenly over filling mixture. Sprinkle chopped pecans on Top.

Slice a stick on butter into small pieces and dot them all over the mixture.

Bake at 350'

EZ Butter - 'Cause slicing buttah is hard.

R171, you're probably a great person but how dare you pollute this dump with a dump cake recipe.

[quote]Stir very lightly.

Thou shalt not stir, Heretic!

Oh that poor bastard @:16 in R17's link needs a good BJ if that's what he considers amazing.

Sorry, meant R172's link

Cathy on Adult Swim, showing a real infomercial

R171 you are lazy and disgusting. These dump recipes are pure shit and very unhealthy.

R172

Damn, I want one of those.

That butter thing solves nothing. OK it's easy to cut, but now you still have a hard unspreadable piece of butter. You don't refrigerate butter anyway.

And the Lord said...

Let this thread end in tears.

Bump.

There goes my NY'S Resolution.

YUM!

Man, living near a garbage dump, I know garbage when I SEE it!!! When they call those nasty things "DUMP dinners", they're NOT KIDDING! Hey hey hey, when it comes to them "DUMP dinners", I think I'll stay far FAR away! Thank you very much!

I read that Kathy Mitchell will be starring in her own "reality" show on The Travel Channel. The premise of the show has Kathy moving into a haunted home in upstate New York (Staten Island) where she begins a major renovation on the home, stirring up numerous, dormant, devious entities in the home. Kathy isn't up to the challenge to be a ghost hunter, and she certainly can't perform exorcisms either. So, Kathy must rely on help from Zac Bagans from "Ghost Adventures" and psychic medium Amy Goodwin from "The Dead Files." Self acclaimed demonologist John Zaffis will open his bag of tricks and send those pesky demons right back to hell! Will Kathy have a spiritually positive home after the exorcism? Will any spirits return? What spirits will remain? Will Kathy Mitchell have a little something extra to deal with the next time she makes a dump cake? Heads may roll! Sanity may be lost! But never fear-- Zac, Amy and John are just a call away!

Bump. Or should I say Dump? Because we can't get enough of Cathy. Or is it Kathy?

Problem is I hate pineapple! So, what would go with cherry pie filling instead?

Also, is this the lady who features pancakes with cut up hot dog pieces inside?

She is a genuine American icon. She should get a Kennedy Center honor ( imagine the entertainment portion), or be the Super Bowl halftime show.

"Oh, I don't bother much about meal planning. Many nights I just do a dump!"

I see your EZ Butter and raise you an EZ Pocket...

And for when you've had your dump dinners, you'll need this...

Cathy does smoothies. Oy.

[quote]The premise of the show has Kathy moving into a haunted home in upstate New York (Staten Island)

Staten Island is not in upstate New York. It's part of NYC and actually closer to NJ than any other part of New York state or city.

That smoothie maker actually looks good......

She is Doris Roberts, except she doesn't have an Emmy and isn't dead

Edie McClurg needs to star in her inevitable biopic.

It's amazing that a woman with a Chuckie doll face and Ronald McDonald hair could be so magnetic to a certain segment of American TV viewers.

She's been doing these ads for what, 30 years or so? What are they paying her with, that she can't retire yet? Then again,I wonder if she has a big share of the company, and she's just trying to push everything they make?

She's on the shortlist to be Trump's press secretary. And the newly-created post of Secretary of Nutrition.

I've never heard of her.

Her infomercials are still not as good as the ones for the Magic Bullet.

She's a god-damned mess.

BUMP

She never met a product she couldn't shill

My God! Who doesn't love pancakes studded with cut up hot dogs- American cuisine at its finest!

Kathy Mitchell has the AIDS you know

I missed this thread the first time around. Never heard of her before and have been laughing my ass off. If you look her up on YouTube don't have any liquid in your mouth - my sides. Here's some Dump Dinner stuff including the delish mashed potato muffins.

WHY bother making a cak?

R71 & r110 made me laugh so hard my eyes watered. Is it wrong that I want to at least taste the orange soda-Bisquik thing, nausea inducing as it may be?

Is she the new Cathy Mitchell?

I'm desperate to try a dump cake. How bad could it be?

I wonder what her pussy looks like.

I don't particularly care for cooking, but it's a necessary evil. I've made dump cakes before, and they turned out well. I was curious about dump dinners, googled it. That looks like a crockpot meal, but those don't actually require any recipes that need to be bought in a book.

I stand corrected. Just saw the link for her youtube video. Dump dinners look more along the lines of casseroles. Of course, watching her is akin to watching Rachel Ray. Everything is already cut up and ready to throw in the pan, so it's not as quick as they claim.

I wonder what her pussy smells like?

I met Cathy Mitchell once and she was actually very sweet.

r215

Unlikely, she's know as "Cathy BITCH BULL" on the infomercial scene

[quote]Unlikely

What makes you say that? Were you there when R215 met her?

She's a well known cunt and uberbitch. You're probably the cuntess herself trying to clean up your own bad, yet entirely earned and deserved rep.

I met her in the Boston airport. We were both on a delayed flight that kept getting delayed for hours. She never said a cross word unlike the others there.

R218 isn't there something useful you could be doing?

R219 Was she carrying or using any of the devices she promotes?

[Quote]Not to get too off topic, but you should all check out the "Eggmaster Vertical" if you really want to see something ridiculous. It's basically a Fleshjack that cooks eggs - I'm not kidding.

I had to look this thing up - here's a hilarious blog post by a guy who tried this stupid thing:

The comments at the end are terrific!

r136 LOL and WTF?~?

It's bizarre that anyone would think cleaning out a modified fleshlight is easier than cleaning a nonstick frypan or pot.

I hate her

Cathy/Kathy looks like she might have trouble with her bowels on occasion...

R226 Not if she uses the new Impact-O-Matic! Brought to you by the fine folks at Roto-Rooter!

Cathy here...you guys know I always keep you up to date. Here's my newest sca-, er, -wonderful kitchen product:

Surprisingly, everything sticks to the pan.

Dump cakes. Dress Barns. I just can't understand this suburban-domestic subculture. Who would want to eat something with "dump" in the title? And isn't it demoralizing to buy dresses at a "barn"? Do they size their clothing "piglet", "hog" and "heifer"? I don't get it. I'm not talking about cozy domestic-ism or nurturing through food, I'm just talking about the language these circles of dump cake bakers use to label things. There's being down to Earth and then there's fetishizing frumpiness. Enjoying the degradation. Maybe that's what it's all about?

Yet, venture into any of their evening soirees and 9/10 you'll see something like this:

[quote]Cathy here...you guys know I always keep you up to date. Here's my newest sca-, er, -wonderful kitchen product:

Good heavens! Those sandwiches, pies, pizzas and what-not look almost exactly like the ones that emerged from the Snack Master of 25 or 30 years ago. Except those were triangular.

Kathy Meets Gay Face

[quote]Cathy/Kathy looks like she might have trouble with her bowels on occasion...

That's why she bleaches her asshole, to avoid those pesky stains!

Amazing to me...I've mentioned before that I worked for the company that made the GT Xpress 101 cooker and other shit Cathy hawked.

The various versions of the Xpress cooker were all shitty and eventually the product disappeared from the market. Well, someone got the idea to resurrect it, with slight changes (It's oval now), and bring back Cathy to sell this one.

Hope the knockoff is better than the original.

Shithole cake

I see Cathy and her employers are still up to some shady shit. In the illustration on the website below it states:

[quote]DOUBLE IT! GET TWO 5 MINUTE CHEFS + A RED COPPER FLIPWICH [bold]Just add a separate $19.99 fee.[/bold]

However, when you scroll down and read the fine print, to get the double offer you must:

[quote]Just pay a separate fee of $29.99.

Once a grifter always a grifter.

Just noticed the discrepancy is on the mobile site. If you change your phone's browser to view the desktop version it has the $29.99 price.

R234 It looks like a toilet seat

Cathy's son is gay and she's a massive fan of Drag Race. Found her on Facebook. lol

Dump Cake

is the signature dessert for the people of Evansville, IN

Dammit, here I thought "Dump Cakes" meant something else entirely!
