What's a good subsitution for eggs when baking?

Hi there!

We have 2 bday parties coming up, and since DD can not eat the bday cake, I plan to bring a cupcake for her. Unfortunately, I work full time and don't have a lot of free time to experiment with recipes. Ideally, I'd love to use a store bought cake mix, but am not sure what would be good to subsitute the eggs with.  Any advice? Thank you!

Smile

    Sub Applesauce for cake mix. 

    For brownies omit the oil and eggs and add 1container of plain yogurt and the water the recipe says.

    1/4 cup applesauce = 1 egg

    1T ground flax + 3T water = 1 egg

    Those are the subs I use, and they work really well.

    I love using EnerG egg replacer. My egg free dairy free cookies come out SO good. Much better than with the real thing. I use the toll house recipe for chocolate chip cookies but use Enjoy Life chocolate chips b/c DD has a dairy allergy also. Delicious!

    For stuff from scratch I use the flaxseed mentioned above,

    for cake mix I use a 12 ounce can of soda with the mix. Google weight watchers cake recipe and it tells you how. No water, eggs, oil etc just the can of soda. I also made a cake mix with 1 container of vanilla Greek yogurt and water. Both came out great and easy.

    Just FYI I keep frozen cupcakes in the freezer for dd so we aren't always making cakes"
