Random DIY mixing and More

I have been using "cookie" , but really want to try cookie dough... might be what I need... sometimes the description is not what
you think you need... many recipes mention "cookie dough" so I really want to try it.

It’s been so long since I’ve used either one. If I remember EM is like using marshmallow as a sweetener. I can’t remember off the top of my head which recipes I used AP. Yes I can...the chocolate banana pie I just made called for AP. I always used 1% or less of them. I always liked using them.

Worst thing about EM is there are a lot of flavors that already contain it like tfa strawberry ripe. If your not careful you wind up over doing it. I love AP for certain things.

TY, I agree completely about the creams and vanilla.

You can also never go wrong by getting cheesecake graham crust...or just graham cracker. Cereal is a good base.

Ah I didn’t know that. I’ll have to keep an eye out for ingredients.

Thanks RJ! I don't know what are good flavors for bases so I'm taking all this in and making a list!

Really good as a thickener and works great with Cap sugar cookie.

Do any of you use ethyl maltol or acetyl pyrazine very often? Back in the day I used them a lot. I need to pick up some AP. I’ve got a lot of EM.

I used to use a lot of em and still have a lot but haven’t used it in a long time. I used to use AP in a clone recipe. Haven’t used it in a long time either.

I think EM is a sweetener and AP is a nutty flavor...I think.

AP is good to add a little nut flavor but too high and it tastes like corn chips.

Unfortunately, and I see this so often, it contains Maltol not EM which is a different beast.

vaping my rootbeer float I mixed up 7/19, tastes fantastic. I forgot about it, thus the long long steep. Maybe it's me, but it's taken on more of a flavor profile of a rootbeer popsicle, which suits me just fine. Such a simple recipe, easy to mix, and basically a shake and vape.. and apparently holds up to long steeping.

Ethyl maltol and maltol react the same as in muting charictoristics

The only thing I use EM for is to knock the edge off citrus. It has a tendency to mute everything.
AP is good in small doses. I think it turns into fritos if you get it to high

I agree.

Cap. Cereal 27 is great to have on hand. Just for a cheap and good way on the cheesecake is to Get TFA Cheesecake/Graham and Graham cracker Clear. Also Fa cookie, cannolli and flavors such as those make an excellent "base" for fruit mixes

I seem to have that issue too. Basically been mixing berries (like boysenberry) and for some reason the "candy" strawberry seems to work for me.

I'm having trouble with raspberry, too. Better luck with black currant and blackberry.

At the moment I am also vaping a rootbeer float, but mine was mixed on 1/23/2020. I have 2 different recipes for rootbeer float, tried both and prefer one over the other.

Thank you Fran!

I love the enthusiasm of a new mixer. I wish you much success.

 

[DLKnives]

Is Fa Flavorart or Apprentice?

TY, I plan on mixing a bunch of new stuff today. This mixing by weight is the bomb!

I don’t have a problem with raspberry but I can see where black currant would help. Don’t forget Boysenberry
