I’m confused about the cake mix part??
Melissa says
I’m not certain what your actual question is, however, I’ll try to help. You’ll need 1 box of cake mix plus the ingredients called for on the package to prepare. Generally, eggs, oil and water. I have also included the link to a homemade butter cake if you prefer to make it yourself.
