heaped
Mounded up messily
Heaped describes something piled high or accumulated in abundance.
A heaped plate overflows with food; a heaped tablespoon rises above the rim rather than being leveled off.
The word often suggests generous or excessive quantity: heaped with praise, heaped with blame.
In British usage, heaped measurements contrast with level ones in cooking.
