So, I had two goals going into this. The first was simple, use INW Strawberry Shisha. The second was to create a mix between a traditional shortcake and a custard. I believe I did just that.
So, here goes.
INW Strawberry Shisha 3%
FW Sugar Cookie 5%
TFA Bavarian Cream 1%
FA Meringue 1%
TFA Coconut 2%
This is an excellent shake and vape at 70/30, but it gets better with 2-3 days. It has all the creaminess and mouthfeel of a nice custard, with the taste of sugar-coated fresh strawberries and cakiness we all love. I hope you enjoy!
By the way, this is not a custard flavor, but a creamy one that simply feels like a custard in your mouth.
INW Strawberry Shisha: When I added this to my cart, I was expecting something somewhat like a strawberry pipe tobacco. I was very, very wrong. I first mixed it on it's own at 2% and instantly fell in love. My favorite dessert of all time is sliced strawberries that have been coated in sugar and left in the fridge all day, and this tastes just like that to me. This flavoring also has a thick, moist feel too it that made my mind jump straight to a cake/custard flavor.
FW Sugar Cookie: I don't own any cake flavors. I know, I'm a terrible person. But I thought that maybe a cookie, when paired with the moistness of the Shisha, might make a cake-like flavor, and it worked. You may be able to sub this for Cinnamon Sugar Cookie or a cake flavor, but I haven't tried it yet.
TFA Bavarian Cream and FA Meringue: You know these flavors, and you love these flavors. I use these any time I want to add creaminess to a recipe without changing the overall flavor too much.
TFA Coconut: This does not taste overly like coconut in this. It's there in the background, mostly on the tip of the exhale, but it mostly just helps with bringing out the sweetness of the strawberry. I added this to this recipe on accident. I meant to add more Meringue, but grabbed the wrong bottle, and I'm very glad I did.
I hope you enjoy, and I hope you'll give me any feedback you can.
FW Sugar Cookie? I wonder how this compares to capella's. I find capella's REALLY airy and ultimately weird tasting without other breads backing it up. I will definitely be getting FW's so I can try this. Good writeup!
FW sugar cookie is fantastic. I picked it up for a mix I wanted to try. I've got to reorder it. Stand alone is good. Smells and tastes just like earn sugar cookies or the oven. It's great mixed with biscuit to at some depth to bakery flavors.
If my palate agreed with Shisha Strawberry I'd give this a go, but for some reason I get a plastic like funk from it from 2 to 4%.
Though I do have some normal INW Strawberry I haven't really tested it out yet. I might try this with the same percentages.
0.5-1% INW Kaktus. Wettest, ripest true strawberry you ever tasted. I mix Kaktus at 1% with 7(!)% Shisha on a recommendation from either NotCharlesManson or HeadInClouds, I forgot which, just that I later realized I had a conversation with one of the top 3 or 4 public DIYers of all time without even realizing it.
You're not a terrible person for not owning any cake flavors! Everybody's looking for an alternative to FW Yellow Cake, so this is a nice spin, and I love INW Shisha Strawberry. Can't wait to mix this up!
>I added this to this recipe on accident. I meant to add more Meringue, but grabbed the wrong bottle, and I'm very glad I did.
Mistakes like these usually have a bitter end (sometimes quite literally), but then there are those rare and serendipitous occasions where you find something special.
So I just started mixing recently, and ordered these flavors. I tweaked the percentages just a bit, and used CAP banana instead of the sugar cookie. It came out awesome! Nice strawberry banana flavor that's creamy and sweet. Thanks for the inspiration! For those wondering, I used 4% strawberry shisha, 2%CAP banana, 1% Bavarian cream, 1% meringue.
