What do you all use to flavor your frosting? Anyone use candy oils?
I have used everything.....jams, fruit purees, extracts, melted chocolate, lemon curd, liquers....anything!
My family's favorite is caramel extract used in addtion to vanilla. My guys want that in place of plain buttercream every time.

I have used LorAnns oils before, just be VERY VERY careful you don't add a lot at a time, depending on the flavor you want, a little goes a long ways.
You can also use extracts, flavorings (next to the spices in the grocery store), Coffee creamers, the possibilities are endless. Just make sure you test it on a small portion of buttercream before you mix a whole batch if it is something new! hehe trust me, i learned the hardway, expecially with the candy oils.

Wow....Blakes Cakes....where do you get caramel extract? That sounds yummy!
i just tried a batch of bc dream with a mixture of extracts. i used 1 1/2 tsp of clear vanilla, 1/2 tsp lemon extract, 1/2 tsp almond and 1/2 tsp butter flavor.
i think it came out pretty good, but i like bc dream anyway. this one is a tiny bit lemony for me.
i am looking for something a little less sweet than bc dream for my sister.
