  1. Promo said download recipe book with 15 recipes. There are only 4 pages and 3 recipes. I think the link to the e-book is incorrect.

  2. Check the first slide. In the sixth line down, it starts with “copy of….” That is followed by a link to the downloadable recipe booklet. I just did and the cakes look amazing!

  3. There is a link on the first page of this article that takes you to the download. It has 15 recipes. Several cakes and cookies including the 3 that are in the article.

  4. Agree with Cherry’s comment. Also, it was just recipes. There wasn’t an E Book format.
    Please fix and resend . Also, your emails contain more interfering ads than almost any other. It’s too hard to read articles with ads popping up all around. I’m ready to give up
