Flavorah Frosting
ConcreteRiver
Setup: Velocity 2 Clone, Dual 15 wrap 3mm Nifethal 70 coils @.18 ohms. 45W-70w power, 480F temp limit. Full Cotton Wicks.
Testing: FLV Frosting @ 3%, 70/30 VG/PG, Steeped 2 weeks.
Flavor Description: Thick, dense, smooth vanilla frosting. At lower wattages there are butter-cream type frosting notes you'd get on a mid-grade wedding cake. If you crank the wattage it starts to lose some nuance and it gets a even denser canned duncan-hines/pilsbury vanilla frosting, bordering on the mouthfeel you get from the marshmallows out of lucky charms.
Off-flavors: None.
Throat Hit: 1/10, really smooth after a steep.
Uses: The obvious one is frosting on bakeries. Thick mouthfeel would lend itself to use as a thick, sweet vanilla for milkshakes or ice creams. The lucky charms marshmallow texture would work great in cereal mixes, especially the milkier versions.
Pairings: Yellow cake, vanilla cupcake, Nonna's cake, CDS... you get the point. Cereals like CAP Cereal 27, FW Fruity Flakes. Tart citruses and other fruits for flavored frostings. It's a blank slate.
Notes: I was skeptical about this, until I steeped it. Lorann's Cream Cheese Icing is my closest competitor, but this has a much clearer vanilla note and I like the added volume here. It's almost a really good marshmallow flavor. I'm sure how to wax more poetic about it, but it's pretty effective for a sweet, fluffy, vanilla frosting.
