    Somewhere between here and there
    all the mango love here got me looking around for some new ideas.......

    this one jumped off the screen....... screaming "make me, make me"

    View attachment 1005627

    sooooo........ when my intuition screams at me like that, then it's time to write something up

    FW Vanilla Cupcake 2.6%
    CAP Cake Batter 0.5% - adds moistness
    FLV Cream 0.7%
    SSA Clotted Cream 1%
    FLV Ripe Mango 1%
    FLV Sweet Mango 0.7%
    FA Blood Orange 0.5% - to add a light zesty note

    percents might change slightly between now and whenever i mix it

    i might pull one of the FLV mangoes and use VTA Passion Fruit & Mango instead

    the Flavor Bible says mango works beautifully with passion fruit and orange
    i'm kinda leaning that way........
    a true cornucopia of tropical delights..........

    <<< ahem, alright SMT, enough!!! just hit freakin' Post Reply already >>> :lol: :lol:
    Have you ever used lemon zest or pastry zest to add a zest note?

    I much agree on the VTA Passion Fruit and Mango replacing one of the FLV. I will probably mix this.

    Yeah, I decided to go with passion fruit and mango.

    Will you use one of your new orange flavors?

    Oh, I was going through some of your tips and advice that you've shared with us and ripped some of those for another version of Mango Knights.

    I remembered that you have the FLV mango pairing, at least one yogurt base, and found some strawberry advice that you gave me for one of my early mixing attempts and cobbled this together,

    I have doubts that it is as easy as just throw all of them together and it will work, but it's a starting point.

    Thank you!

    That looks really tasty!!! :greengrin:

    With the WF Frozen Yogurt in the mix, I would lower FW Yogurt to 2%.

    WF Frozen Yogurt isn't a yogurt per se, it is a fine neutral cream that will work well in nearly any mix. FW Yogurt is a real yogurt. Combined the two will make a really nice creamy light yogurt base.

    If you want your mix to be strawberry forward, leave it as is. If you want to taste more of the mango, then lower FA Juicy Strawberry to 1.5%. Doing so will give you a tasty balance between the strawberry and mango.

    That will work out nicely, with a very short steep (7-10 days for 10mls). And personally, I would absolutely vape it straight off the mix. With those flavors it won't need a very long steep.

    I will be mixing this. Thanks for the idea!!! Keep them coming. :thumbs:

    The adjustments aren't as much as I thought they could be.

    Yours will most likely be ready before mine, I have quite a backlog of unmixed ideas.
    52 recipes just in December so far, haha.
    (many of those are slight variations or adjusted recipes though)

    gloop that does look pretty impressive:drool: can you make me a juice recipe for that?:w00t:
    I can give it a shot!
    I've not had much success crafting my own cake recipes yet so might have to borrow a base from somebody.

    Happy Merry, Dan!

    Afternoon folks. We cut up a bunch of stuff for tomorrow and brought chairs up from the basement. I’m hoping the wife will calm down now. She always get stressed before a family gathering at our house.

    Hopefully the stress doesn't bring on another headache. She should calm down.
