TFA Oatmeal Cookie

[DenaInWyo]

Saw this and had to try it. Got it in the mail today ..and it does not smell anything like I thought it would. More..I dunno..fruity?

Anyone with experience with this flavoring and a guess at a starting percentage before I mix a test batch tomorrow?

 

[DenaInWyo]

Nobody? Well that makes me a little nervous

Well, if it was me, I would start that at 5% in a small batch and try it out... Although I've just done a Capella Gingerbread at almost 10% and it is fantastic! You can always add more but taking it away is not so easy! Good luck!

 

[DenaInWyo]

Yeah, I had figured to start it at 8% and see what happened..was also kind of hoping someone would come along and tell me its fabulous since the smell was such a shock. Hehe..welp, here goes, will report back.

My wife picked out a coffee flavor from WL when I was bulk-ordering mats. It arrived in the mail, and I opened it. Smelled allright.

Mixed up a batch.

Had to throw away that atty. Tasted like burned tires, sewage, decaying flesh, with a hint of bile.

Won't even play with the percentages on that one. Right to the trash it went.

Just to follow up:

Tried at 8% and then at 10%, steeped about two weeks. This is NOT an oatmeal cookie in the least. There's no oatmeal or cookie to it at all. If I had to put a name to what it tastes like, the closest I could come is the mystery wrapper dum dum sucker. It's not unpleasant, but definitely more unidentifiable hard candy than anything like any kind of cookie, or even bakery flavor.

Well rats.

TFA flavors are not normally stand alone flavors...they need creams, sweeteners and other supporting flavors like Vanilla in order to complete the recipe--think about cooking as a comparison...you can't make a good cake or cookie without mixing together several ingredients.

Do yourself a favor and jump in on THIS THREAD for more help with TFA flavorings and recipes.

Oh, I know that pretty well. But I like to try things stand alone at first to get the gist of what they are like before I try mixing them. This was disappointing to me because it not only wasn't anything oatmeal cookie in the slightest, it doesn't even ring into the bakery type flavor at all. Even if I were to mix in a plain cookie type like FA or Inw biscuit, I don't think it would help.

Tell me about it, i bought 5 flavor west flavors and tried them stand alone and everything was bad except blueberry.

Needless to say i don't think I'll try any flavors by themselves again.
