  • Your link for the cake mix, has milk in it, just FYI.

    • Hi Lora! The link was originally a vegan cake mix but the awful thing about Amazon is when it sells out, it just shows a “similar” product which is what happened here. I do apologize! I would never promote a product with dairy. Unfortunately, Amazon re-directs clicks to other products. I’ve deactivated the link since I can’t control what Amazon wants to show 🙁
