This pumpkin patch dirt cake is perfect for all the potlucks and gatherings we have in the fall. It always gets lots of compliments from all ages.
As an added bonus, this dessert is perfect for the kids to help make since it does not involve the stove top or oven. They can help by adding ingredients to the mixing bowl, stirring, and layering the ingredients for the dirt cake.
