I cannot find the Creme Bouquet and Wedding Flavor Extracts anywhere online... does anyone have a source. Of course, I need it in less than 2 weeks. My local "party source" store no longer carries them. Thanks in advance.

Lutie

I buy mine at countrykitchensa.com

Hi lutie, I inquired about it from Alan at Global Sugar Art. He has ordered them, I don't think he has got it yet. If you want, you can check it with him.

I tried at CountryKitchensa, but they do not have the wedding extract showing on their web site. Thanks for letting me know about them.

National Flavors carries creme bouquet:

www.nationalflavors.com

Wedding bouquet can be purchased (via phone) from Hammond, LA:

HTH

I always wondered what these actually taste like. I have never seen them here (Australia) can someone enlighten me please? Thank you

Thanks for posting. I would like to try it

i just checked out the National Flavors website. Can anyone give an idea of what the pricing of any of the products is like?

www.sweetc.com (Sweet Celebrations, formerly Maid of Scandinavia) has Creme Bouquet. 2 oz for 2.49, 8 oz for 7.20. 800-328-6722. They also have stores in Minneapolis, MN.

To update the results: Creme Bouquet has been found, but no one can address where I can find the Wedding Extract. PLEASE... could someone who has used this let me know where they have purchased it? ... or is it something where I could mix so much of this and so much of that... I would appreciate any and all ideas and answers.

Scroll up a bit for JanH's post (5th post in this thread), she gives you the link to a thread with info on where to get Wedding Bouquet. It can only be purchased from MS. Sandra, she mixes it up herself in her shop.

Luckily I can get the creme bouquet at the local cake supply store and I just found the wedding bouquet on Global Sugar Arts....my cart is seriously getting huge!

if you're still interested intotheoven.com sells creme bouquet in 8 oz bottles for less than $4 each. shipping is fast and low.

Holy cow! You can get Wedding Bouquet at Global Sugar Art now!

I bought some WB at the Winnie DOS last month, and am about to work on my next cake...

Please help this newbie to WB - can I use it IN the cake mix? Can I use it in a chocolate cake mix? Or is it just used in BC? I am a 'fondant' girl, so my buttercream usage is just for filling and crumbcoating (and some attaching). And I use butter-based buttercream - I don't do the shortening thing.

Thanks in advance, can't wait to use the WB, it will be nice to taste vs just smelling! LOL!

Regards,
Wendl

Oh Where, Oh where can I find the creme bouquet and the wedding bouquet in Canada.

I recently ordered some creme bouquet from www.countrykitchensa.com . I like it pretty good. It is strong though. It doesn't take much!! I have only used it in BC so I'm not sure about using it in the actual cake.

I just love everyone on Cake Central! Thanks so much for the input and yes, I have placed my orders for both of the extracts. (I ordered more than one to make sure I did not run out of them at some critical point). The Wedding Bouquet was ordered, as is the Creme Bouquet, on different sites.

Now, just one more question... how much are you all using in the cake versus the icing? What has been your experience(s) with them?

Thanks in advance for everything you do to help me become better and better at this great art!

I love Creme Bouquet, use it a lot & will be ordering the WB from Global with my next order.

okay this correct, WB is the same as Creme bouquet? so I can buy either one?

majormichel No ( at least to me ) they are not the same flavor..lutie .. You just have to try and see what you like ! I use 2-4 tsp in my icing ! Some people use A lot more! I like a more mellow flavor.

Fiddlesticks: I had a wonderful experience this week-end. I catered a wedding for 200 and made the cake... Below is the recipe that garnered the most attention to my baking I have had in a while... Strawberry Butter Cream Filling to the wedding cakes. My "food barometer" is the way men react to my food... this one went off the scale... the men loved this cake (and especially the strawberry butter cream filling with Creme Bouquet).

The recipe is in the Recipe Section as of today, but here it is... I used an "over-flowing" tablespoon of Creme Bouquet.

Lutie's Strawberry Butter Cream Filling

Beat for 3 to 4 minutes:

3 cups butter, room temperature
1 cup Crisco

Add (slowly and cover your mixing bowl with a towel to keep down the sugar powder):
2 - 32 oz. bags 10X sugar (powdered sugar)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 over-flowing Tablespoon Creme Bouquet
Dash salt

Beat for 5 minutes and slowly add the rest of
the heavy whipping cream, (It is your preference how
much more you put into this).

On the highest speed, "beat the dickens" out it for
another 5 minutes.

Out of this icing, take what you think will be enough for your cake filling and put it into a separate bowl.

With a large spoon, add:
1/2 of a 24 oz. jar of Strawberry Preserves

Fold into the butter cream and place between the layers of your cake.
Use the rest of the butter cream to crumb coat your cake.

The ooo's and ahhh's will be heard all the way back from the reception to the kitchen!

Yes, I love this Creme Bouquet... now can someone tell me about their experience(s) with Wedding Bouquet?

lutie.. Thanks so much for sharing ! I really dont know how to explain what the wedding bouquet tastes like ! I just know I love the flavor !!Some say it taste like a citrus flavor .Im not sure I taste it that way ! Thanks again !!

get mine at mary carter in memphis. www.bakinstuf.com

lutie, I'm on my way to the kitchen. This sounds amazing.

If Creme Bouquet has a citrus/vanilla flavoring how does it compare to Fiori Di Sicilia?

Lutie, I don't know when you posted about looking for Wedding Bouquet Flavor but you can get it from B&B Cake Supplies in Louisiana. Look online.

I use only Wedding Bouquet and I use about 2 teaspoons per pound of confectioners sugar in each recipe. I also use 2-3 teaspoons in a white Duncan Hines cake mix.
