Fruit & Nut Bake by lirruping
2% fa forest fruits
3% mama j's gameover custard
2% tfa vanilla swirl
0.5% fa fuji
0.5% fa almond
0.5% tfa anise [or 0.25% fa anise]
0.75% fa cookie
This started out as a total experiment, and I'll probably keep working on it, but it's surprisingly delicious!
The fa almond comes through really well, but is not overwhelming. I've never tasted it so distinctly. Something in the gameover is critical to the baked dessert feeling of this. It's very grown-up tasting--but in a good way.
Here are a few ideas for substitutions that should maintain the general idea, and in some cases might improve upon it:
-> If you don't have gameover custard, order some right away. But you might try this with a stand-in of fa custard and fa vienna cream, total 1.5%--2.5%. You could also use 2.75% cap v. custard seasoned with a bit (0.25%) of tfa brown sugar. Either way, I think it won't be quite as complex. The custard/vienna idea will take it in a different direction, but might add a new and interesting dimension.
-> I'd say there's a very good chance that fa vanilla tahity will be better here than vanilla swirl--I haven't yet tried it but I plan to. I just sort of grabbed the vanilla swirl because it was easier to find, but the gameover provides all the creaminess this needs and tahity is a more interesting vanilla.
-> For me, 0.75% fa cookie is just right, but if you want more of the cookie effect, you could bump it up a little, say 0.25%, or add a small amount of acetyl pyrazine.
For people who think this isn't a lot of flavoring, I urge you to try it as is and then scale up if you want to. It's got a serious punch of flavor and gets even better in a couple of weeks. If you do find yourself wanting MORE somehow, I suggest making your first change upping it to 2.5% fa forest fruit and see if that fixes it. (I wouldn't go any higher on that particular flavoring as it seems to go weird with too much).
Enjoy!

Do you get what I mean about that grown-up type flavor? It's very serious, somehow... IDK. lol
