    I’d say the problem is the chocolate. The Swiss just isn’t great.

    Trying SMT’s Starfruit and Pineapple Cake. I’m not a big fan of pineapple but was hoping the Starfruit would bury it. Well the Starfruit didn’t do it’s job that well. I can still taste the pineapple but it’s not strong at all. I’m so far liking the mix. So far so good.

    I would leave the graham cracker and sugar cookie as is.

    Drop the blueberry to 0.75% - 1%. That would bring your other flavors out while taming the BB.

    Add a cream and another berry to round it out.

    Give it a solid 3-4 week steep and you'll be set. :)

    ETA: Just a tip, FWIW, only change one thing in a mix at a time. Changing the values of three flavors can cause other unforeseen issues. Been there done that.

    Thank you!!

    Personally, I can't mix with no nic at all. It just makes everything taste flat to me.

    I was thinking that if it tasted horrible, at least I didn't waste any nic on it!

    Only a tiny amount in test batches so I guess I should just put it in there.
    Thank you!!

    Yup, I tried that years ago to save on nic. I couldn't believe how flat it made everything taste. The nic went back in.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I’m betting you’d like that with the Mousse instead. VTA missed the boat on that one. It’s not good.

    It has a pretty strong cocoa taste. I’m betting that’s where the harshness is coming from. I added some fresh cream like you suggested so hopefully it will be useable.

    Hoping that works for you.
