This is a great product. Before people get hysterical over the ingredients of this product I did a bit of research myself. The product is safe. It contains a tiny amount of propylene glycol, an ingredient that has been used in food, medicines and injectibles for many years. It it well researched. Wikipedia says "The oral toxicity of propylene glycol is very low, and large quantities are required to incur the dangerous effects described above. The potential for long-term toxicity is also low. In one study, rats were provided with feed containing as much as 5% PG over a period of 104 weeks and they showed no apparent ill effects.[7] Because of its low chronic oral toxicity, propylene glycol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use as a direct food additive. Cases of propylene glycol poisoning are related to either inappropriate intravenous use or accidental ingestion of large quantities by children.[8] Serious toxicity will occur only at plasma concentrations over 4g/L, which requires extremely high intake over a relatively short period of time.[9] It would be nearly impossible to reach toxic levels by consuming foods or supplements, which contain at most 1g/kg of PG. Propylene glycol is metabolized into pyruvic acid, which is a normal part of the glucose metabolism process and is readily converted to energy." In short, unless you intend to consume a few hundred bottles of this stuff at one sitting, you can safely make tasty cakes and cookies.

Thanks so much for posting the LorAnn info.! I was curious about this product, but I too will not use it, due to the ingredients!

I have not used this, nor will I. I checked out the website for LorAnn, the company that makes it. For KAF to suggest this will make a "safe" snack cake is not correct. The emulsion might taste great but it is full of harmful ingredients! I wanted to try it, but after checking out the what it is made of there is no way. I will just stick to plain vanilla. I will try the recipie for the snack cakes though, sounds great!
Vanilla is certainly an option. Mary @ KAF < /strong>

My family loves the taste this emulsion adds to cake mix or cookies. Gives it a fresh bakery taste. I love it.

This is very, very good. The scent is out of this world. I used it in the whole wheat chocolate chip muffin recipe, and I found the flavor a bit heavy--I'd use less next time. I used it in a buttercream frosting (using 1/2 as the bottle suggests since the frosting wasn't baked). It tasted wonderful. I think this would probably work best in vanilla or citrus recipes that don't have other strong flavors to compete with.

I have not used this yet but have a question...anyone know if the natural flavor contains any nut ingredients? Thanks!!>br /> It may contain nuts, so if you have a nut allergy, I wouldn't recommend it. Mary @ KAF

Do you want an ordinary cookie with an extraordinary taste? Make chocolate chips cookie from scratch, omit vanilla and add same amount of princess flavoring. The hardest part is not eating the all the dough before hand. Let cookies cool for several hours so the flavors can blend, better the next day, if they last long. Enjoy!

used this for a cake. It was great. Does the emulsions need to be refrigerated?

I used this in my rolled sugar cookie recipe. It was wonderful! This will be the extract that I will use for this recipe for now on. Mind you I have been using this recipe for over 30 years. I find that it can be enhanced by this single extract. It has such a unique taste. Now I can't wait to try it in other recipes.
