Frequently Asked Questions

How much Caroline's essence should I use?

Start with 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per cupcake batch or per 500g of buttercream. Oil-based essences are highly concentrated, so it is best to start with less and adjust to taste.

What's the difference between an essence and an extract?

Oil-based essences like Caroline's use an oil carrier rather than alcohol. This makes them a better choice for chocolate, ganache, and buttercream — alcohol-based extracts can cause chocolate to seize and may create separation in fat-based mixtures.
