Bread!

[AndriaD]

I think I need to get some of that Inawera Biscuit. I've only tried a few of the Inawera flavors so far, and they tend to be really strong, requiring very light percentages... I think that might be helpful for my asthma, to not have to use so much flavoring.

Still waiting on those cartos to get here; I *think* they may be here today; they're at my local PO, at any rate. Sure I could test my new mix with a dripper, but the flavor just isn't the same as from a carto, and since I vape my ADV blueberry muffin/banana nut bread from a cartotank, I really want to replicate the device, so I can get an idea on the flavor; if I need to reduce the percentages, what flavor(s) might be too strong or too weak.

PS: Southerners have a real thing for Pound Cake, too.... it was my grandfather's favorite of all cakes or pastries.

Ha! That's interesting. The only pound cake freaks I've ever met were old Yankees . . . I wonder if the recipes are similar?

Anyway, yes: Inawera flavors are very strong compared to some of the others. Extremely natural and very tasty, too. And, as you're a banana bread fan, I'd especially recommend their plain ol' Banana flavoring. It's absolutely spot on, and seems to improve pretty much everything it touches.

I dunno, but yeah, it's really heavy and buttery. I'm not a fan of most lemon-flavored things, but I always really liked pound cake with that lemony-streusel on top. But I always preferred sponge cake or angel food cake, to pound cake; love the light texture.

Is Inawera's Banana a tank cracker? Seems I recall reading that TFA's Ripe Banana is a tank cracker, but the banana nut bread is not.

The cartos are here! so I'm gonna mix up the blueberry muffin mix with some of the banana nut bread mix, and let it sit for a little while, while I go grab a shower. Apparently it's not going to be any warmer all day, so I better do it now! Dr appt tomorrow, and I don't want to be rushing around like a crazy person in the morning. I'll post the results later, of my juice test.

Oooh, what was it, Inawera Biscuit maybe? All the bread/cake fans would LOVE to know!

Andria

yep! I loved the smell immediately...I use it in my Pineapple Up. Down Cake....and Blueberry Cobbler....which I am still working on both recipes..

I think I have a bread flavor or pie crust (have to look) might add that too...

Nope!

In addition, to me, the INW Biscuit is more a flavor of the British kind rather than American style.

Yeah, that's kinda what I figured, since it's European, and the American "biscuit" is kind of an oddity -- so is it somewhat like a shortbread taste (what Americans would call "cookie")?

I've never mixed it as a stand alone, but your description would mirror mine.

[debb]

I have mixed it alone and it is very good...kinda like a sweet biscuit if you will...or like shortcake....

Well, I tested that total mix, of the blueberry muffin/banana nut bread. It's not bad, but not quite *there* yet; at this point I think it needs more blueberry. I have a 10ml test bottle of it, and maybe since I got all the flavors together, I'll let it have a week or so in the cabinet and then give it another try. If it's still not quite what I want, then I think I need to work on the recipe again, rather than trying to "fix" what's already mixed. I'm thinking, maybe half all the muffin/cake/AP ingredients, and leave the blueberry flavors as they are, and perhaps nudge the sweetness up just a bit. Right now, the muffin/cake/bread type flavor slightly overpowers the fruity blueberry taste; it's not bad, but not quite sweet/fruity enough; a week or so steep might round it out though, so I'm not giving up on it. I'm SO close, right on its trail!!

Hey, it's been a month - how's the muffin recipe going?



My various Bread Crust experiments went well.

In general, I'd say that .125% is ideal for subtle, buttery flavors like pound cake and short cake, but .25% works well for more strongly flavored, spicy things like gingerbread and spice cake.

I'm glad I found this stuff, actually. It's turning out surprisingly useful.

 

[Racehorse]

Oh, I'm sorry. It's a Flavour Art flavor, not Capella's - and it's from ecigExpress:

Bread Crust by FlavourArt - ecigExpress

The smell is . . . a bit odd. Like unbaked beer bread dough, if you've ever made that.

err on the low % side per this topic:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ad-crust-well-seemed-like-good-idea-time.html

when I got that flavor I read up on it, other people suggested as low as 0.0025%

It is very strong and I never have figured out a way to use it right, but then again, I'm not a very good mixer.

I would do something simple like bread w/a little cinnamon sugar?

Other things that taste good in bread would be things they put in croissants, like almond paste or chocolate. I would try some almond myself.

 

[Kropotkin]

Whoa! Excellent idea! I hadn't even thought of croissants.

And it just so happens that I have some Marzipan hanging around . . . Thank you, Racehorse. You're a genius.

terrible mixer, but a good cook... so I think in terms of "recipes" and what kinds of things taste good together.

go real easy on the bread flavoring though.

marzipan sounds gREAT!~

ONlyh other thing I was thinking was amaretto....also might work.
