Hi everyone, years ago I bought creme bouquet from KK and never used it; at the time I didn't appreciate the smell. Since being on cc and hearing almost everyone rave about it, I decided to give it another try. I was going to buy the CK brand because a bunch of you had good things to say about it. My cake supply store only had Magic Line brand; I LOVE how it smells. I remember how the first bottle I bought smelled; it was too strong but ML smells the same but not as strong.
So, I made a double batch of bc (2lbs. powder sugar, shortening, butter and warm/hot cream) and a little more than 2 tsps. of creme bouquet because I've read here that a little goes a long way. I couldn't even smell it; as my bc was mixing it was smelling like warm cream. I kept adding a little at a time and it never smelled anything like in the bottle. I used whole lot of it; it's hardly any left and I used it only in the icing. How much do you all add to bc to give it a nice but not overpowering flavor? What do you think the problem was if any? Thanks!
