Welcome to Lynn's Cake, Candy, and Chocolate Supplies, where we're passionate about enhancing your sweet journey. Today, we're delving into the diverse world of flavorings – an essential aspect of baking, candy making, and chocolate crafting. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a budding enthusiast, understanding the different types of flavorings can transform your creations from good to extraordinary.
1. Flavor Emulsions: The Water-Based Wonders
First up, we have flavoring emulsions. Unlike extracts, emulsions are water-based and provide a robust flavor that doesn’t dissipate during baking. This quality makes them a superior choice for recipes where flavor retention is crucial. Emulsions, such as the popular LorAnn emulsions, blend seamlessly into cake batters, ice creams, and frostings, ensuring that your treats are bursting with flavor. They are used in a one-to-one ratio to extracts, making them an easy swap in your recipes.
2. Flavor Extracts: The Classic Choice
Flavor Extracts are a familiar favorite in the kitchen. At Lynn's, we offer the highest quality extracts from Silver Cloud, ensuring that you don't experience the typical flavor loss associated with cheaper brands. While extracts are excellent for batters and frostings, they can sometimes lose potency when exposed to high heat. If you're seeking ultimate heat resistance, emulsions might be your go-to. But for most other applications, our premium extracts are a fantastic choice.
3.Oil-Based Flavorings: The Versatile Option
As summer approaches, thoughts turn to fruity flavors like watermelon and strawberry. But here's a crucial tip: when flavoring chocolate, you cannot use water-based options like emulsions or extracts. This is where Lorann super strength oil-based flavorings shine. They are perfect for chocolate, as they don’t cause the chocolate to seize. Our oil-based flavorings come in a variety of flavors and are incredibly potent – a little goes a long way!
For instance, when making chocolate candies, using the appropriate amount of oil-based flavoring ensures that your chocolate retains its smooth texture and gets infused with just the right amount of flavor. We also provide pre-threaded flavor droppers for precise measurements, especially crucial since these oils are four times as potent as extracts. Whether it’s hard candies, gummies, or even your morning coffee, these oils are versatile enough for all your creative needs.
