could follow directions in ELR:
Searching by flavor stash
Here you can search for recipes that contain certain ingredients. The search results are not limited to the flavors you have in your stash.
The page will present you with your flavor stash and tick-boxes beside each flavor. As you tick off flavors, the results below will narrow down. This list can contain flavorings that you do not have in your stash.
What can I make with the flavors I have?
Clicking What can I make? will simply show you all the recipes on ELR that you can make with the exact flavors you have in your stash.

IMO, it's hard to come up with more recipes for your flavorings for a few reasons:
First, you have only maybe 3-4 flavorings that I'd consider to be primary ones used in recipes I either make or have seen from others.
Second, you have flavorings from at least 5 different companies, and for 2 of them there's no company name. Many people will use a single company's flavorings for the majority of them in a recipe.
Also, for 3 flavorings...there are 2 of each of them, just from different companies. So you really have 13 different flavors to work with, and most of them are secondary flavorings or accent flavorings.
Just my opinion though. I'm sure others may have other ideas about them.

Dragon Fruit primary, Bavarian cream secondary, adjust to suit your taste buds - you want a slightly creamy dragon fruit, like one you are eating with a bit of rich custard - more fruit than custard, but, enough to make it feel luxurious.
Dragon Fruit happens to be one flavor I adore, it mixes well with light doses of vanilla or creamy flavors. Also good with chocolate but, you don't have that.

I make dragon fruit with sweet cream - it's sooooo yummy !!
But DANG it sure leaves a musty odor in the air
Yes, it does smell something like some musty critter from some fantasy game that got all sweaty but, YUMMO!
I mean, sour milk mold, fruit sweat - really? But worth it for the flavor.

Yep, I started replying a bit earlier, but then abandoned my reply.
I mean no offense, but that's an odd stash, and you're going to have trouble finding recommendations for it. That's not to say there isn't a gem of a recipe hidden in there, it's just that if there is you're probably going to have to discover it for yourself. I'm also a little suspicious of parts of it, especially FA Banana Cream. Is that very new? I have never heard of it, and can't find any information about it, anywhere.
Dunno- if I had to mix with those, without trying most of them, I might go for a fruit cream using the LA blueberry, the FLV strawberry (at a _very_ low percentage to start, cause FLV and other creams,) the Vanilla classic, and the Bavarian Cream. But, tbh, I'm inclined to think that that might be a bit vile unless you got it just right, and maybe even then... no offense but that's just a hard stash to work with, IMHO. How did you wind up with that set of flavors?

Which dragon fruit though? I don't have the CAP, but the TFA and the INW are _very_ different, and if you try to use them interchangeably weird things will happen. Especially if you use the same percentages.
What's weird about OP's stash is that it's almost as if he tried to get profiles everyone uses, but from brands no one uses for those flavors. There might be some great recipes in there, but he'll have to find them himself, because... LA blueberry? FA Banana Cream? Well, a couple of the creams are solid, so there's that.
He also appears to have thoroughly messed up his stash on the site that can't be named. Hard to be sure what a couple of the flavors are given that. What is 'gram cracker?' Different flavors with the same name from different vendors can differ to an enormous degree. 'Strawberry' is a profile, not a flavor, and you can't just sub a different strawberry into a recipe that calls for 3% TFA Ripe, or whatever.

I'm so glad you were able to put that into words without sounding too negative because I couldn't.
ELR does try to autocorrect things in a way but if it's right there are a few things missing to make a winner imo.
My suggestion would be to start from zero.
Look up 5 star clones of stuff you like and buy everything for it.
I did almost no research and ended up with most of the stuff I still use today on the first buy because I looked up a few recipes first.

Yeah, actually reading it over I do sound a lot more negative than I'd like, and that wasn't my intention. I didn't mean it that way, and I'm just trying to help. I just think that's a hard collection of flavors to get advice about, cause honestly there aren't going to be a lot of recipes out there that use that set, so it's going to be terra incognita.
Yep, and I'm not sure the missing ones matter _too_ much, cause even if I assume the most widely used... I'm not sure it helps a lot.
Yeah, at least at first I'd look for profiles I liked, and at which popular recipes used them, and buy what was needed for a few recipes I thought sounded good. That's not going to get you to perfection (my experience so far makes me think TFA is overrepresented in popular recipes, and if I could re-order everything I have I would go lighter on TFA, and heavier on FA, etc.) but it's going to get you a set of flavors that go well together, and that can be used in recipes that are pretty good, IMHO.

A lot of those ingredients go into custard recipes, I've seen.
Maybe pickup some Cap vanilla custard.
