More Than Pleased

Trying to find extracts/flavors aside from your run-of-the-mill kinds (ie. vanilla, almond, mint, immitation rum and banana) can be a challenge. Luckily, I was thinking ahead for once and browsed online long before I needed it for an upcoming dessert/event. While I didn't really need a 3-pk this purchase seemed like my best option. A common complaint of strawberry cakes/baked goods is the flavor is either too strong (from using artificial mixes) or isn't there at all (from using just fresh strawberry/from scratch). I'm not a baking snob who would die before making something from a box because I have cheated before and can assure you I will again. But more times than not I try to bake my cakes and cupcakes out of real ingredients. For this job, I needed something to add to my "not from the box" recipe for strawberry magarita cupcakes. This product was just the thing. True, it's a "flavoring" and therefore not 100% real but the description doesn't lie. This is as close to the real thing as you're going to get. I used plenty of fresh strawberries (macerated in sugar) and its juices in my recipe but if I didn't add this secret weapon my cupcakes wouldn't have had the great fruity flavor they did. I'm sure I'll have future uses for it and luckily enough to go around. I'm kinda considering to stock up and get their variety pack of flavors since it'd be nice to have on hand.
