If you like saffron you should really try it. Be careful it's quite potent and becomes stronger with steeping. I will be adding it to nonnas cake soon, I think it will make an excellent combination.

I'll mix some stand alone today. Maybe say...1% ?

Your fine idea to adding saffron to cake got me wandering... I did find a saffron lemon poundcake recipe on a food internet site that looked tasty. If only somebody would make a vape flavor similar to lemon poundcake! :D:D:D

While I have no experience with them, they've got a beautiful online catalog. The flavorings are priced somewhat higher than forum favorite vendors but I found NF Honey Roasted flavor there. New to me, honey roasting sounds good to me so I'm in. Thanks, jant!

When I looked, I didn't see Nonna's Cake however ... did you find it SC?

thanks for the link I just ordered it from there they still have 11 left.............

Not anymore!

I placed an order there.:) With the monthly discount code and the drool factor, I felt it was the right thing to do.

BTW I have a domestic shipping item sitting at the Chicagostan USPS location for the past 5 days. Unusual for anything to be there that long. Heck, it needs only to go out to me in suburbia...

We're looking forward to your reports unless you want to invite us to your playground.:D
LOL I mixed up a couple of recipes today - waiting for a few days!

I did try the Nonna's cake at 3%, fresh (80% VG) - it was ok, but not something I'd bother to vape alone. I can see, though, that it could be outstanding in a mix, and no doubt better when it's sat more than 10 minutes LOL. I also bought a few of their mixed concentrates that we don't see over here - reports to follow:D

That was my initial reaction with nonnas cake....though I waited more than 10mins. The 10ml bottle I made up it grew on me the more i vaped it standalone (4% myself). Like you, the excitement of it was more "I could put this in this mix, that mix, oooo and that mix" rather than what is a good flavour all in itself. I have about 15 recipes with nonnas cake in all steeping at the moment :) Im in the UK and personally, wouldnt get excited about the mix concentrates. I bought a couple (when first using FA as was a bit dim and didnt realise, e.g bought custard pi instead of the actual custard), they are all from what I can see basic and maybe or maybe not aimed at beginners who arent ready to make there own recipes, its good of them that they even list some of the recipes though. The UK Flavour Art site is ran superbly I have to say within the UK, never had one problem with an order at all.

The Cornish Cream Tea is dead on at 8% (I noticed in the UK forums most make it at 10%). It's as writtten in the recipe on the FA website, and very good! I did let it sit for 3 days to 'mature' which bought it to life. I'll have to make enough I can leave it even longer just to see what it does :)

I was just reading on another forum that at least a couple of people are tasting lemon and pine in nonnas cake. I'm really hoping I won't be one of those. I jumped on the joy craze and ended up hating it.
There is lemon in the nonna's cake, but I'm thinking it will fade after a few days (the UK people say even the lemon fades from custard after 2 weeks). It's not strong, but it's definitely there standalone.

Boy, I hope not. I've never tasted pine and never hope to. Something to scrub your toilets with.
Lemon is quite common in Italian desserts. Pine, never. As one of Italian descent, I can't think of a flavor used in desserts that remotely resembles pine.
But, once I get a taste of Nonna I'll let you all know.

No pine to me, just a slight lemon. I haven't let it steep yet.

Exactly the same experience here. I'm sensitive to pine and sense none....so far.

The ones that said they tasted pine, didn't say pine nuts.... just pine.
