Greetings, mixers, wishing you all a nice weekend :wub:

I washed up a couple of empty tester bottles and just freshened up my Dead Rabbit Solo rta.
I primed it up and am starting it out with some Unjuice in preparation for my first taste test of a certain mix...
I think my cotton has to settle in a bit yet before I can try to describe it, but it is definitely not blechhhh (to my tastes!).
The Custard Cake Base (by DanielTheVapeMan) is tasty, I'm just trying to figure out what the coconut and rums are doing (the parts I added, haha).
I'm going to try to save half to test at a month and see what's going on.
Oh, the mix in question is Katcake.
(just in case anyone reading hasn't been following along)

Happy Katcake Day, Kat :wub:
I did cheat a bit and started on it last night. I'm saving half of my tester to taste at a month so I am actually finished with my first tasting already.

I like it!
It could probably use a little adjusting, depending on your original vision.

The custard cake base presented as the star and dominant player during this first tasting.
I thought that I could pick up a distinct "cake" note early but feel like it melded in as my test progressed.

I still can't articulate how the rum and coconut parts come into play and exactly where.
I was hoping to get some dark rum flavor from the FA, and I kind of think it's there but blended into the custard mostly.
The more "boozy" part, which I think comes more from the WF, was a little harder for me to pin down whether it shows up in the beginning or more towards the end.
It might be a touch much for me, but I'm hoping to figure that out during the one month tasting.

The coconut part has me a little fuzzy as well, I thought it was clear at the very start but seemed to me to drop back a bit as I went along. It is still in there, but in the background to me, and I think a bit more towards the finish.

So, I guess it's custardy, maybe with slight cake and dark/sweet (not really spiced?) rum notes with a little boozy hit and some underlying coconut.
5ml probably wasn't really enough for an accurate tasting of what it is, but this is what I have for now.

My tasters aren't the most refined, so perhaps you might identify things better when you give yours a taste.
I did write up a v2 where I raised the Coconut Candy 0.5 and added some FJ U-word Brown Sugar at 1.0 to see if that might reinforce the darker sweetness of a rum note (how I think of rum - it's been a long time since I've had any).

I'm sure it will need some tweaking for your tastes, but I think it's a pretty decent start.

I want to shout out thank you to DanielTheVapeMan again for the Custard Cake Base.

    Good morning, Fran :)
    I hope that the rain holds off so you can get your outside walk in outside instead of in!
    Just got back from my mile walk and I managed to stay dry. Glad the rain held off.

    Morning, mixers.

    Still on the cool side, which we do appreciate ;) but rain is still (mostly) absent. Still some rumor for some light showers as the weekend progresses. We'll see.

    UNJUICE? What's that, a direct path to burned wick??

    Plan is to continue being a slug :) Light duty for a few more days after cataract surgery on Wednesday, and I plan to take advantage of "don't lift anything over 25 pounds, and don't bend over." :)

    Good morning. I woke at 4:30 but went back to bed. I’ve got some tanks and bottles to clean today and might get out a different rta to try a new recipe that’s been steeping.
    Good morning,hitt. :) Hope you like your new recipe if you try it.

    Good morning, David.:) Glad you're cool and get to relax. Hopefully it will rain soon.
