I love MMF, but when I used it on a cake the sweetness was so overpowering that I couldn't eat it. Would adding salt balance out the sweetness as it does in BC? What about using creme bouquet? Thanks to those more educated than I.

From what I understand, you can add a little citric acid or lemon juice, about a teaspoon, and that will cut the sweetness down a little. I haven't ever actually remembered to do this when I am making my fondant, I always seem to be in a hurry, so I can't tell you how much it affects the flavor. I have added other flavorings, almond, lemon and raspberry, and they made it taste wonderful. As for salt, I have no clue. Sorry.

Haven't cared for almond. Raspberry sounds wonderful, as does lemon. I would think the Lorann-type oils would be best. Haven't used them yet--what would be the appropriate amount per pound of PS. I'm assuming this would be measured in drops rather than teaspoons.

I have used rasberry flavoring in MMF and it tasted really good on chocolate cake.
