Thanks sugarshack, I just ordered mine, What a sweetheart she is, and you. You are so generous to share all that you have. I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that. Thanks again!

OK don't mean to be a bummer but has anyone actually received the Wedding Bouquet, I ordered mine earlier this week. I expect to get it next week.

i just wanted to know if it has almond extract. One of my freinds son is allergic to nuts. I want to know it before i place an order.
Thanks.

The almond extract is a good question to ask JanH because I do believe that it isn't actually made out of actual nuts...but please check with her first

Hope this helps!

OH! i WOULD LOVE TO KNOW IF ALMOND EXTRACT IS MADE OF ALMOND NUT! I HOPE JANH ANSWER THIS!

Thanks for sharing, could someone tell me where I can order Hi Ratio (Sweetex) from. Can you buy it in the market? We can't always get all the stuff we need here in Hawaii, it is much easier on the mainland, but if I can order it somewhere, I would love to try your recipe Sugar shack. i will be ordering the Wedding Bouquet soon.

come on ladies ,tell us your reveiws????? Iam dieing to know.

I received my Wedding Bouquet yesterday and made my first batch of b/c with it tonight. It definitely has a wonderful smell and the taste it give b/c is excellent. Some how - it cuts the sweetness of the p/s and the b/c doesn't seem as slick - and I have been using hi-ratio shortening.

I still was not sure how much to add - hopefully Sugarshack will jump in with a guide - so I put about 1 TBSP in Sugarshacks recipe for b/c.

I will tell my customer about the new icing tomorrow and hopefully I will get some feedback from the guests at the bridal shower and see what they think.

It took 10 days from the date I mailed my check to the day I received the flavour.

Thanks Suzycakes!!!!

I use 4 TBS for a 5 pound batch BUT we like our icing kinda strong down here; use the amount you like.....HTH

Can't wait to see how the rest of you like it!

OH MY GOSH!!! Sugarshack, thank you so so so much! That is what I've been trying to get my icing to taste like for years! That stuff is worth every penny! You are da bomb!!!

Christie (the VERY happy cake lady! )

Thank you for the info Hollyanna70.
I am going to order it.

I received my flavoring today, and was making cake, so I used it and it is AMAZING!!!! I love it. Thank you Sharon for sharing!!!

For those of you who have used this already, can you tell me if it has an artificial taste to it? I am sensitive (taste) to artificial flavorings and I don't like the aftertaste they leave. I prefer to use pure almond or pure vanilla extract.

I read where 1 quart was $24 plus $8 S&H. Has anyone ordered a smaller amount and if so, how much was it?

I hate to spend $24 + $8 for a quart and not like it.

I appreciate any feedback or comments.

DarkChocolate,

I spoke to Miss Sandra today and I'm going to get 8oz. for $7.00 plus $4.60 for shipping. She is such a nice lady.

Maybe this smaller quantity will be better for you to try and see if you like it.

Hope this info helps you.

MG,

Thank you so much for replying. I am excited about trying this flavoring. The 8oz size would be great for me to try.

I just ordered a gallon of pure almond extract. Can you tell I like almond. I have used almost 1 quart in less than 3 months. I use only almond extract in my icing and I also use it for my biscotti.

darkchocolate

I'm the same. I love almond. I go through it like crazy.

I do plan on ordering some of this in September, though. I wish I could order it sooner, to use on my Mother's birthday cake, but it just isn't in the budget this month.

Let me know how you like it DarkChocolate. I'm very sensitive to after taste as well. I think that's why I can't eat anything with raspberry flavoring in it. The after taste just gags me.. heh


Thanks!

Holly

thank you for posting on the 8 oz. size. That is the perfect amount - I'll be ordering today or early next week!

HOLY SMOKES!!! I just placed an order through Bakerskitchen --the site that Holly mentioned and so did Sugarshack in the other thread link. They are in Toledo, Ohio. I'm 5 minutes from Toledo. I called them up and they have 2 locations one in Toledo and one in Perrysburg, Ohio that is a store front open to the public. The guy who answered the phone was so nice! He was asking me all kinds of questions and even offered to cancel the shipping to where I could save money if I wanted to pick it up instead. I'm so impressed with their service already.

I just ordered both the flavoring from B & B and the sweetex from the website given in this forum. I am so excited to get the hi-ration stuff. I've never used it, and haven't been able to find it where I live. I can't wait to try them both.

I have used Sugarshack's recipe, sort of. I didn't have the hi-ratio or the flavoring, so I improvised and used the Wilton class b/c recipe. I made the creamer/water liquid and substituted it for the water. WOW! Just that made a HUGE difference in the b/c. It was more stable, creamier, and smoother. I also followed her tips for getting those perfect edges. Let's just say that I'm no Sugarshack; but I can see the difference already. It'll take some practice, but man did it make my life easier. Thanks Sharon. Happy caking!

I got my Wedding Bouquet yesterday, havent tried it yet I've been too tired. But i'll try it tomorrow and let you guys know how i like it.

zubia,

Hi! I order my almond and vanilla from National Flavors. The website is www.nationalflavors.com/products

The gallon of Pure Almond extract was $20.25. I paid $7.25 for a quart in the past and decided to order the gallon this time. My last order in May, I order 2- 1 quart bottles and my shipping was $6.
