Iâm so sorry, someone posted a great website to get flavoring not long time ago but I can't find the post.

Can someone tell me again where to get good Strawberry and Raspberry flavoring (oils?) for my buttercream?

Thank you!

Lorann is a very popular flavoring manufacturer. Many of the members here buy them at Walmart. HTH

Thank you Sugar Plum!!!

Walmart? really? never seen then.
I will try to find them today.

The Wal Marts in other cities may be different but I know that the Wal Mart here only carries LorAnn flavorings during the holidays. I have been going to Country Kitchen to get mine.

It takes a little more fussing, but I use fruit puree for fruit flavors. Can't beat the taste.

I bought quite a few LorAnn oils a while ago, I tried one & it seemed to make my BC very oily. Is it just me? Does this happen to anyone else? I don't use them anymore, which is sad as the flavor is great.

I bought three of them at Candyland Crafts in NJ (since I was there for some other items I needed quickly) and I've used them to flavor my MMF. I've also tried them in fillings, but I haven't tried them (not that I can recall) in regular BC and I thought they were great, especially the coconut.

Maybe I will give them another try. Perhaps I used too much. I see it is very highly concentrated. How much do you put in?

Just try a couple of drops at a time. I use a dropper. Luckily I had one left over from my daughter's vitamins when she was an infant (it was never used, it was an extra and was individually wrapped in plastic).

Good luck.

which is better the lorann oils or her flavorings?

Okay, I just checked the three bottles that I have (coconut, banana cream and peanut butter) and they're flavors not oils. My mistake. So the only ones I've ever used were the flavors. I didn't realize that there were two different products.

Thanks Sugarplum, I heard that the oils are more potent than the flavorings, I could be wrong buti believe so.

I like Hero brand flavoring compounds, thick and syrupy and made from the real item. I get them from my local wholesaler or you can find them online.
