Abstract: A device for dispensing a caked composition into a liquid employs a container filled to a desired level with a cake of the composition to be dispensed, and an upwardly opening vessel over which to place the container telescopically so that the cake surface is disposed over the vessel mouth. A support structure is included upon which the vessel is mounted in a position enabling placement of the container over the vessel, the support structure serving to support the vessel so that the vessel mouth is facing upwardly and the rim portion is disposed horizontally. Liquid coupling components couple a flow of liquid from a separate source through an inlet opening in the vessel, so that with the cake surface disposed over the vessel mouth, the liquid fills the vessel, washes across the cake surface to dispense the composition from the cake, and then discharges over the rim portion.
