Question On Using Flavor Oils Instead Of Extract?
Decorating By Alicandra Updated 6 Oct 2006 , 8:55pm by Alicandra
Hi everyone -
I was just in AC Moore and saw these tiny little glass bottles with Anise and Orange Oil - does anyone know how these are used for flavoring cake/icing/filling?
Any insight would be welcome! To all you CC addicts out there, I can't tell you how much I enjoy all the Forum posts, pics, tips and sharing!

Those oils are very concentrated - I use 1/8th of a tsp of one of them in place of 1tsp of vanilla.
These oils can be used in cakes, frostings, candy. But use only one or two drops at a time. They are very potent. Not like extracts which have been watered down for volume. I use them in my icings mostly. Used to in my candy when I did a lot. Not so much now. Boys grown up and out.
Thanks for the tips!
Looks like I might need to buy an eye-dropper. My Wilton II instructor mentioned that one might come in handy...
Have a great weekend!
