I use the sticks as a problem-free replacement for all my baking for vegan or lactose intolerant friends. I don’t have to adapt anything. If there is any weakness in using it as a substitute, it’s in streusel topping (it’s a tad less good at making crunchy clumps). I’ve made cakes, pies, everything. No sweat.
