Hope you weren't Counting on a Flavor of the Week Pun title, I'm Taking a break from my Usual Cinnamon shtick
submitted about 6 years ago by ID10-TThe Kingmaker

As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a category of flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!

Post recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using that flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic.

#This week's flavor is...CINNAMON!

How did that get to be the FOTW?

I need to dig out my PureFlavors cinnamon for testing. Hopefully i can get that done this week. Not sure if I have one from SA that I haven't gotten to either... But really with FLVs cinnamons, other brands aren't really needed...

I often hear that cinnamons main flavour component, cinnamaldehyde, is not good for the lungs. That being said, FLV Rich Cinnamon is fantastic.

Just yesterday I was watching a video saying so. Anyone has some deeper info on that?

I read that the cinnamaldehyde prevents your lungs from properly fighting bacteria.

I don't have much to add, but in no order my favorite cinnamon/cinnamon bakery concentrates are...

  • Caramel Cinnamon Roll (FW)
  • Cinnamon Crunch (FLV)
  • Rich Cinnamon (FLV)
  • Cinnamon Danish Swirl (CAP)
  • Cinnamon Sugar (CAP)
  • Cinnamon Roll (FW)

I recently purchased Liquid Barn's Cinnamon Roll and Baker's Touch, but I have yet to try them out.

I got a simple one that features CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl, works both with v1 and v2 of CDS.

Swedish Cinnamon Apple Cake

Working on a version w/o DFS Holy Vanilla since it's going out of production, but that will probably be a whole new recipe.

Anyone know how it compares?

i mentioned it because i heard positive review from someone who's got the original v1 and the renamed one and says that they are identical to them.

I'm sure it's good, but I'm still a bit sceptical seeing as they released a v2, then quickly released another one with a brand new name. Have yet to try them though, so we shall see.

I've got CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl. It's good, strong, nice to mix with.

Recently whipped up a Cinnamon Cheesecake I rather liked:

6% TFA Cheesecake graham cracker

2% CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl

1% TFA Sweet Cream

0.5% CAP SS

Needs an overnight steep at least to subside the cinnamon right. But then turns into this creamy cinnamon that was delightful and easy to just go at. I've got some CAP Buttercream frosting I might play with on top of this now too.
