Best Answer

Commercially packaged cake mix stays safe to eat long after its expiration date has passed -- up to 12-18 months. It's loaded with preservatives and uses dry milk and egg solids, so it isn't going to go "bad" for a long time. As long as the plastic pouch is unbroken it will taste fine.
