NEED Orange Cake Mix in Calgary
I'm desperately searching for a Duncan Hines Orange Cake mix in Calgary. Has anyone seen one at a local retailer or know of a site you can order hard to find mixes. I'd also like the Red Velvet Duncan Hines mix and would be willing to order several.

I'm originally from Edmonton, now living in California. I buy the Duncan Hines RedVelvet regularly at $2.59. I can't recall seeing Orange but will check next time. I can ship you some RedVelvet if you REALLY need some . I'll be visiting Edm soon and will load up for friends and family. Any other hard to find grocery items?

Checked my superstore (Coventry Hills) yesterday. No red velvet or orange Duncan Hines. I know Williams Sonoma carries the Sprinkles brand red velvet mix... I'll keep an eye out for the Duncan ones in my travels. FWIW in a quick google search I found some DH Red Velvet on eBay but not in the quantities you're looking for.

Why don't you just get a plain cake mix and some orange flavouring? or better yet replace some of the liquid in the recipe with orange juice and some zest!
harder to cheat a red velvet cake from a mix, as the chocolate varieties are always darker and harder to tint. If you can find a light coloured/milk chocolate cake mix, you can just dye it red. It may be slightly different in taste, but perhaps a more reasonable substitute than shipping a case.
Or, as sweeterpea suggested, perhaps try from scratch! Its not as hard as you might think!

Are you originally from the southern US?

They have red velvet plus orange supreme; I think you have to order 12 boxes at a time. I'm not sure if they send to Canada. Have you thought about making these from scratch?
Good luck!
