It’s untested as yet. I really bought it for the carrot cake which I forgot to put on my last order , or my cinnamon roll mix (but I just started a new bottle, so not time to remix yet. It’s gets just occasional use). What did you dislike about the cc icing?
For me all I got was sweet and no cream cheese.

    I done a sft on the VT Pudding Base. Not meant as a stand alone flavor, needs a cream and flavors. As is, it is just a bland taste consisting of neutral type of custards, mouth feel cream.

    :)

    I know I’ve got odd tastes since I like the blueberry milkshake but I have been using the pudding base at 4% with 6% pomegranate for a month or two and really like it. I never tried it solo.

    A custard or even some creams would probably be just as good with your pom.

    Another note on LA flavorings. The ones I have tried and used usually don't pop until steeped for at least 3 weeks. I do use LA peach in my peach mix, it brings all my other peaches together in a really good authentic RL peach taste.

    I make this one in a 250 ml bottle so only mix every once in a great while.

    That sounds really terrible to me.
    It has been so long now since I tried it but remember that sweet. I think whatever I mixed with it got thrown out. LOL

    I do like some sweet in some things but for me, this was was too much.

    I went back to the Reddit review. He said 3% + yogurt to get to a cc kind of flavor. Likened it solo to betty crocker white icing that comes in a tub

    It seems like a number of their flavors are meant to be bases/background? Maybe because they sell flavor blends as well.

    I’m looking forward to trying the carrot cake with lorann’s cc icing. Somewhere I have the % written down. Any recommendations on steep time for that?

    7% Carrot Cake with 1% Cream Cheese Icing. Doesn't need to steep long at all - a couple of days is fine.

    I require a certain amount of sweetness in my mixes. I used to be able to vape mixes with a bitter touch but no more.

    Of course I have no yogurt(imagine that lol). On the list it goes. Hope it doesn't have too much for that same smell as bb milkshake.

    :facepalm:
