I am confused about Extract and Candy Oil Flavoring's. Can anyone please tell me the difference?
When adding flavor to a cake, do you recommend Extract or Candy Oil flavoring? Example of flavors like amaretto and almond. Please help!!!......

Hi,

I prefer using extracts but thats just my preference. I tried Loriann Oils before but I didnt get the flavor that I was looking for. But, I know others have had success with the Oils too.

Extracts, syrups used for flavoring coffees, and Hero Compounds are great for flavoring cakes.

What are Hero Compounds?? Never heard of it before.

It's a preference. Mine is organic pure extracts when the original does not lend itself to reduction. Next is gourmet jams. I do not like the Lorann oils. They have an unnatural taste to me. The coffee flavorings are popular, but are artificial. But it comes down to what tastes right to you in your recipes.

They're great! I get mine from my local wholesaler, so try looking locally or google it to find places to buy online.
