First DIY Post. Strawberry Cake.

[boxboy]

This is my first real post to VU and my first DIY recipe posted to the intertweb and I'm happy to share it with VU because you guys have helped me stay ON the vaping by showing that DIY is fun and tasty!

After 24yrs of Cigs at about 30 per day,
I've been cigarette FREE since March 24th 2015. And I will NEVER go back, EVER!

Sooo, after creeping around and learning I have my 100% original own creation to share.

Tweak this as you see fit, but please report back and share!

Made this MAX VG besides the flavouring!
Shake n Vape - Why wait?

5% (FW) Yellow Cake
5% (TFA) Strawberry Ripe
2% (FA) Vienna Cream
1% (FA) Meringe

This made me a 5ml sample bottle.
Tested on:
Dual Coil Kanthal 0.35ohm
Little Boy RDA with air wide open
Powered at 42w with a SMOK M80

What does it taste like?
Well the best I can describe It: Fluffy Strawberrys and light cake or almost a nestle strawberry quick taste. Its sweet but not overly. Its actually dang good.

Please post back what you think about this if you make it, tweak it ect. Thanks!

 

[twisted]

I don't have tfa strawberry but will sub it out for flavourart. Sounds good

 

[Teresa P]

Caps sweet strawberry would be good here too....

 

[Raina]

Just ordered FW Yellow Cake on a whim and was trying to figure out what to do with it. Definitely gonna try this with FA Strawberry.

 

[Teresa P]

I could vape cake or cake batter standalone....lol! Love cake vapes!
DIY Flavor Shack has a birthday cake flavoring that is absolutely dreamy!

 

[boxboy]

Awesome posts guys/gals can't wait to read what you all think of it.

PS. I just remade this again 10ml Max VG and added 0.5% more Yellow Cake. Now its not as sweet but more cake flavor, almost like corn bread texture to me. I love it both ways.

Keep the posts coming

 

[Teresa P]

When you figure out a good ol' southern cornbread and buttermilk vape, you are the master....LOL!

 

[Daintanee]

I've been wondering what to do with fw yellow cake. I love cake. I mixed up at 5% and didn't get much cake. CONGRATS on your quitting smoking, I'll give this a go.

 

[Teresa P]

Since it is FW, I'd mix standalone at least 10%, maybe even 12. I think all their flavorings taste "watered down." All the flavors I started out with came from Mt. Baker and they're decent, but nothing like what I've become accustomed to in FA.

Yes, please report back with the FA Strawberry, I have this too but have not mixed it yet.

This is true. That's why I'm slowly playing with the % of each flavor. Was going for a strawberry Cake flavor, but hey if it tastes good don't fight it lol

 

[Teresa P]

Hey, some of the best vapes are the ones we make by "accident".....

Thanks for the Congrats To you as well for being a Vaper... I agree that there is very little cake flavor in the original recipe. Maybe try it with 0.75% more Yellow Cake and report back.

One of my better ones after about 30 bottles of " What is this?" Lol

 

[Daintanee]

I see in the e liquid calculator I use a lot of Twinkie recipes using fw yellow cake.

[Teresa P]

I have a Twinkie recipe I've been meaning to try, just haven't gotten to it yet. Can't get off HIC's Kaktus Collection right now....lol! This Kaktus-ade is amazing!

 

[Daintanee]

Hey boxboy, I'm not a strawberry fan, but I'm gonna try this w/o fruit and maybe add some cookie/Apple pie/ vanilla to see if I can make a good cake, I'll let yo know if I come up with anything worthy.

 

[boxboy]

Just mixed this AGAIN same above recipe 5ml with the 0.5% more Yellow and added FW Vanilla Cup Cake 0.3%... Well its not a bad mix, makes it taste more like a cup cake and fluffy effect but kills the strawberry flavor more.

I tried a couple Twinkies recipes and I didn't think they were even close to Twinkies, or even very good. If you come up with one, please post it.

Twinkie, hmmmm. Might be good. I seen one floating around someplace online.

Ohh Yes, please do. Love adventure

 

[twisted]

Yes, please report back with the FA Strawberry, I have this too but have not mixed it yet.[/QUOTE]

Will do, I used 5% fa strawberry. Out of the fa line strawberry seems like one of the weakest. I also added 2% cake batter. It helps make yellow cake more cakey.

 

[Foggz]

@boxboy - Congrats on both the DIY and the quit thing!
recipe looks good! I've bookmarked till I get to the YellowCake.

 

[nabibrian]

Thanks for the share

 

[Daintanee]

.5% FA Cookie seems to make 5% vs yellow cake more cakier. I also added 1% FA Vanilla classic to it, but wish I wouldn't have so I could have seen results with just COOKIE. I did let this sit overnight.

Love the avatar. I can see how one could coax a Twinkie from fw yellow cake, by tasting it at 5% with .5% FA Cookie. I'm thinking fa Vienna cream to make filling. Random thoughts.

 

[Teresa P]

Here's the one I have, but haven't tried. The only adjustment I'd probably make is to the sweetener. I have used it in other recipes, but not at that high percentage. Might cause cavities.........lol! (No creator mentioned and don't remember where I got it)

Twinkie - The Real Deal

Start with PG/VG/Nic base of your choice.

· 5% Yellow Cake (FW)

· 5% Vanilla Cupcake (TFA)

· 4% Bavarian Cream (TFA)

· 4% Sweet Cream (TFA)

· 5% Sweetener (TFA)

Rob, I used...
5% FW yellow cake
1.5% FA Vienna cream
1% FA Vanilla classic
.5% FA Cookie....It's not a perfect Twinkie, but close..I think if you play with those 4 flavors at different %'s you'll get a Twinkie. I d start cookie at .25% and yellow cake at 4%…cookie needs to sit a day or 2 b4 you get full flavor.

That's arnies recipe from the e liquid recipes site. I got it all but vanilla cupcake.

 

[Teresa P]

Somebody's copied his recipe then. I have a lot of his in my notebook and they've all got his name on them. I'll note it on mine too.

He has a ton of recipes listed there. I thought it was Arnies, perhaps I was mistaken. Only thing I heard him share somewhere he doesn't taste all his recipes, I think I read this, but don't quote this mind.

 

[Teresa P]

I just hate when someone doesn't get credit for something they've made. My recipe notebook is HUGE (even had to start a second one), but anything I've copied has the author's name on it if it was available. I know how bad I am to forget things...lol!

 

[boxboy]

Has anyone gave this a taste test? Any feedback at all. Would love to know what you all think.

 

[Raina]

I tried this as written, only subbing FA strawberry. It was a little strong and sweet for me right off the bat, so I'm steeping it. It's good, but I'm hoping the yellow cake will mellow out.

 

[joeyboy]

Can CAP Cake be substituted for FW Cake?

 

[Raina]

Just tried this again after steeping for about 10 days... Much better. The buttery flavor in the yellow cake mellowed out and the strawberry really came forward. Reminds me of angel food with strawberry topping. Really yummy.

 

[OneLief]

I want to try this but I have so many strawberry juices. Maybe I'll try raspberry or blackberry. Pear just doesn't sound right but maybe.

 

[Raina]

Next time I make this I'm gonna try a caramel or nut flavor. I think a tiny touch of blackberry would be delicious

I just whipped up this recipe. DELICIOUS!! very easy to make the only tweak I made is I followed the 2 in 1 rule 2 parts Vienna cream 1 part fresh cream. Will make a 30ml batch now to steep because this 15ml I just made will be gone quick.

Super excited you like it! I never end up letting mine steep, end up Vapeing it to quickly lol

DIY Flavor Shack has a birthday cake flavoring that is absolutely dreamy!

Do you care to elaborate on the diy cake flavor you described? Also, have you tried there pound cake or angel food cake? I love cake flavors as well and I'm always looking for something that compares to fw- yellow cake and cap- cake batter.

Tastes just like a big, white, frosted birthday cake. I like it at 5-6% standalone, but I have found if adding it to other mixes, it just acts as a sweetener, no "birthday cake" nuances.
I'll be honest with you, I have their pound cake and I've used it, but for the life of me I can't remember what the flavor was like. Guess I need to mix some up today.
Have not tried their angel food, but will now.

 

[joeyboy]

@BenjaTheNinja
I did her pound cake stand alone at 4%. It is pound cake and not bad. I let it steep one week. I would not go stronger. What I didn't like was I had to rewick. Most of my mixes don't require that and I can mix on the same rda with no issues. I could not get that flavor off. I would dedicate one rda to that flavor.

Hmm, doesn't sound to intriguing if you say it didn't work well when mixing with other flavors. Thanks for the heads up. If you can't remember the pound cake it must've not been worth a damn. I got a free sample of the angel food cake when I ordered a bottle of holy vanilla so I'm going to sample it soon

 

[Teresa P]

Oh, the pound cake could very well have been a winner, but I'm working with over 400 flavors here and my office looks like a vape store, bottles everywhere....ha! I'll buy more of that birthday cake just to have it as a standalone, it really doesn't need anything else. There are some very good juices that are made with standalone flavors. TFA mocha is addictive....

Does it have a bread like taste to it? If not fa- cookie helps with that so I'm not worried. Also I'm not worried about the re-wicking concern you expressed. Years of smoking menthols and continuing to vape menthols have destroyed my palate. I can drip with a fruity menthol mix and when that burns off I can add a cream dessert base flavor and not taste menthol. Whereas other people would still taste menthol 5 drips later.

When I say mix with other flavors I mean changing mixes on the same rda without rewicking. I don't mean mixing pound cake with say tfa strawberry ripe. I think it would mix well, it just sticks to wicks and coils. It really needs a dedicated rda, imo. Your experience may be different.

Part of the issue may be that I used 4%. I use her cranberry at a lot less and it does not do this as badly.

[51vape]

will try it when i get my order in. thanks boxboy!

 

[Heng]

I just mixed some up!

It's pretty nice, so thanks for the recipe. To me it needs a bit more strawberry; I'm thinking 2-3% of CAP Sweet Strawberry would perfect it. I'll give it a go now!
