I am wanting to flavor my Wilton BC icing recipe. I am planning on using LorAnn oils. Do I need to still add the vanilla, or can i just replace the vanilla with the oil? Thanks for any advice, suggestions.

I would taste test without the vanilla and with the vanilla and see what you think.

When I use Loranns oils to flavor my buttercream, I do not use the vanilla. I just use the oils, but I think it just depends on your taste.

The oils are a concentrated flavor so use it sparinly. Only add a little at a time.

Very good point gma. The first time I used the oils, I put too much in and it made my icing bitter. It just takes a couple drops of the oils since they are concentrated.

Thanks for the advice, I use the flavorings when making candy, but haven't played with them in cakes and icing. Those are good points i'll keep in mind. I'm off to make the icing now.

So you can use candy oil flavorings in cakes and icings? I never thought about that! Yes I know they are stronger because I have used them in candy before. I have two fairly good cake and candy supply shops near me in addition to the chain stuff like Michaels. And they carry many different flavors that it is hard to find extracts in. So many possibilities.
