I have never used LorAnn oils but I have ordered some to try. It says on the website to use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp to substitute per teaspoon. Just wondering if the oil is really that strong, for 1 doctored mix if 1/2 tsp would really be enough flavor? Just wondering how much you guys use for your cakes and fillings?

Yes, they're strong! I added 1/4 tsp butter rum to a scratch yellow cake recipe...definitely didn't need more!

I agree. I use drops of oil instead of teaspoons for most things.

Thanks for your answers. I guess I will just have to do some taste testing. Thanks again!

What about flavorings versus oil? A small amount for oil but would a teaspoon of flavoring be too much?
