Thanks Squonk! Definitely going to try as I have 30ml of Fa Zeppola I don't know what to do with.
I ordered 30mls thinking it was what Teresa P. used in her Crema Fritta. But I'm glad I got it. Stand alone it's kinda dry, but mixed with cream and it really pops.
That's great! I got it for one of Hic's recipes & I didn't like the Zeppola & standalone it was meh.
Thanks Teresa good to know
There's my little T.P
I actually found this vapeable after a 3-4 days, but it does get much better with time. Just the CGCC takes time to steep, but of course I just can't keep my curiosities at bay longer than a few days with any mix.
Sounds noms, Squonk, thank you!
Also, love the name. I use the word frequently.
Every time I see you post it reminds me of my niece. We've been calling her Ceecee since she was little.Thanks Squonk! Gonna mix up a tester of this tonight.

Hey bro! I'll throw some together this weekend, but I'll need to use BC regular as I don't have the DX. Mixing with the baddies doesn't bother me.
What's this??? No picture to represent your recipe?

Well, now I really do need to make a new order at BCF; someone told me recently that FA's "tutti frutti" (now apparently called "blenderize") would give me the taste of juicy fruit gum... and from the reviews I've been reading for this Zeppola, it sounds like I *just gotta have it*!
C'mon payday.
Andria
C'mon payday.

Yum!Here! Happy now!
And I don't post much! I was Ceecee when I was a kid but nobody has called me that in over 40 years now.
Well, except in the vape forums
Same here and I think that's what Paulie would do.

I don't know what to tell you. I never tried the original version. I thought I ordered it, but to my surprise when I pulled the new 30ml bottle to mix,,, I saw the big DX. I thought the vendor screwed up so I looked at my order and it was me that screwed up.
Oh why? WHY!!!!!???? Oh the humanity! Anyway, I'd say, go with your gut. What's the worst that could happen? (besides getting called into work)
LOL, it's always a sunken feeling, but could use the OT, regardless. It's that' whole angels fighting devils feeling. If they call, I'll say yes, then I'll be all whiney, LMAO.
Don't feel bad. I'm in limbo for the next two weeks. I'm on call for jury duty AGAIN. I have to call in after 5:30pm every night to see if I have to be in West Palm at 8am the next day. I got lucky today.
When I call in all I can think of is NO WHAMMIES!
Would the new mix then be called Goombaski?

I haven't tried the original version either, but I've heard that the original BC is a stronger flavor, so you might need a bit less. Maybe instead of 2%, use 1.5%...?

This looks really good. I will have to try it soon. It will go on my short list along with your Banana Graham for Mongo, Sugar Cookie & Strawberry Cream.
I really like your Smooth Creamy Almond recipe.

I just tweaked the SCA a tad, but your base recipe was quite solid!

I just cannot WAIT for tomorrow, when I get to make a small order from BCF in observance of my 3yr no-smoke-a-versary. Zeppola, Tutti Frutti (blenderize?), and CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream.

Well, I made my order for those 3 flavors I've been yearning for -- sadly, BCF didn't have any Vanilla Whipped Cream, so ECX got my business instead. Note to BCF: you can't sell what you don't have in stock!
Happily, I had 166 points in my ECX acct, so an order that would have been a bit over $16 using priority shipping, I got for $11.07!

Try it after a few days to see where it's headed. After I mixed it, it smelled so good I wanted to drink it.And hey @Squonk ... you said it's better if steeped longer than 3-4 days -- how long do ya think??? I'll have my new flavors day after tomorrow and I wanna mix this one RIGHT away, to enjoy it sooner! This may be the only way I can enjoy the flavor of fried dough guilt-free.

On day three after mixing.....sigh. Smells amazing! Like fried cheesecake!
How does it hold up after 3-4 weeks?
It's seems(to me anyway) the fried note fades a tad or it could be the addition of other flavors mellow it after they steep in. Still tasty.
I'm sampling the batch I mixed up on 7/25. For me and my personal taste preferences... I think another week of waiting is in order. I'm not that keen on buttery flavors and I think (hope) that another 7 or so days will allow them to fade to a supporting role.

I going to try using a lighter cream(CAPs sweet cream or FA Fresh) and just a touch of FLV Rich Cinnamon(great stuff) that Teresa P sent me(she rocks). I was a tad disappointed how Zeppola lost its fried note over time mixed with other dark flavors. I'm hoping light cream will let the fried stay and stand out. I'm also thinking a smidge of FA marshmallow or TFA meringue might help.
