My vote is for Butavan, a butter/vanilla emulsion.

Out of the two choices, I would choose McCormick over Wilton. (I'm starting to not like any ingredients from Wilton anymore). But I get all of my vanilla from here:

I prefer Watkins clear vanilla. Lots of flavor and it is clear! Not as expensive as most vanillas.

Earlene used to have it but I don't see it now on her site - haven't tried the Butrnilla she has. I know Sugarcraft has Butavan.

Miriel, Do you use Butavan in all of your cakes?

I use Butavan in all recipes that call for vanilla, so even desserts like creme brulee, tiramisu, Portuguese custard, flan, etc.

In response to asking about the vanilla those of you that bake for resale Watkins does have foodservice quantity and the pricing on it can't be beat. I know I am a baker and I will let my username tell more about me and Watkinsicon_smile.gif It's just that many people don't know about the foodservice side of Watkins.

Feel free to contact me if you need more info.
