Okay, so after hearing so many positive things about creme bouquet flavoring, I ran out and bought some during my lunch break on Friday. Before I make a disaster out my next batch of icing icon_redface.gif ....how much do I use? Do I use it in place of vanilla, with vanilla, or what? I currently use the Wilton Class Buttercream recipe, but I use a combo of clear vanilla and butter flavoring when I make a batch.

Any suggestions would be welcome!! icon_smile.gif

You can use it in addition to vanilla. Start out with small amount of Cream Boquet (I use 1 tsp.) I've heard that more is NOT better when using it.

I agree with christiethomas. Use a small amount. I use 1 tsp. It is very strong and I can taste the difference with just a tsp.

If you use too much you will have a lemony tasting frosting. use a tiny bit 1/4 tsp. taste then adjust.

It tastes like a light lemon flavor to me, so I use only a tiny bit.
