####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
I think we should all pause and say . . .
#THANK YOU FLAVORAH
All of those Flavor Packs helped breath new life back into the FOTW thread.
I’ve been tempted to SFT TFA Sweet Cream around 5% for the sweaty foot cheese experience
Please don't do that to yourself.
Really? Because I also heard Parmesan Cheese, which does not sound bad

Simple recipe but fits my sweet tooth profile well. Really happy with what Sweet Cream and frosting did here! (not entering the contest just having fun)
I've not really ventured into playing with anything labeled "sweet cream" past TFA's sweet cheese. Any that are absolutely worth having?
CAP, if for no other reason than the number of awesome recipes that use it that you're missing out on, and VT, because it tastes like the inside of a ding dong
Pretty sure I have that in the cupboard, any immediate "must try" recipes?
I feel partly responsible for this succession of creams, and I'm sorry. I appreciate you!
New to DIY, every Sweet Cream I have (Cap, TFA) doesn't taste much? Maybe because I'm using a low wattage MTL device, but both the sweet and the cream are lost on me. The only discernable way it works is when I use it to soften down really strong flavours (INW Plum, FA Apricot). Not sure why sweet creams are the most commonly used in recipes.
I need to up my creams game. I don’t understand the difference between sweet cream and any other cream like a fresh cream
I don't either, really. Especially since "sweet cream" isn't exactly a thing. There's heavy cream, light cream, half-and-half, whipped cream. You can't just go to the store and buy "sweet cream" as far as I know. But most of these flavors (the ones I've tried so far) called Sweet Cream tend to be more like heavy cream, only sweeter, with a few exceptions.
Yeah, I think it might be something like a sweet whipped cream from the spray can? Though in all honesty fresh whipped heavy cream is much more fatty compared to the can stuff, so it would be nice to know what the flavor manufacturers take as a reference
Sweet cream I think is just like a plain/ sweet cream with some mouth feel. Fresh cream adds body and brings flavors together. Just started using them tho so I'm no expert on them lol
Currently all my creams are vienna, vanilla, or of the whipped varieties.
Based off the notes in this thread it's clear the winner should be requesting $20 worth of the TFA foot cheese cream.
In all seriousness though I'm going to need to pick up VT at some point in time, there's something about twinkie filling that is both fantastic and terrible at the same time.
Oh sweet cream goes with everything! I seriously can't gen enough of it.
New to diy haven’t tried sweet cream yet can anyone recommend a simple mix that includes it so I could give it a try?
Which one? I'm looking at 16 of them wondering whether we really need all these sweet creams: TFA Sweet Cream, TFA DX Sweet Cream, CAP Sweet Cream, FW Sweet Cream, MB The Most Sweet Cream, FLV Sweet Cream, RFSC Sweet Cream, VT Sweet Cream, SSA Sweet Cream, Bickford Sweet Cream, OoO Sweet Ice Cream, OoO Sweet Cream, OoO Sweet Cream V2, CNV Sweet Cream, Delosi Sweet Cream, and Tasty Puff Sweet Cream.
I have TFA Sweet Cream and I must be one of those people who can't taste butyric acid because it taste like sweet cream to me after a good steep. I did read this in order to try and figure out why some in the DIY community are so opposed to flavors that contain butyric acid and it would seem that ingesting more of it would be a beneficial thing😃
I only have Cap Sweet Cream, I really like it. I need to find more recipes to use it in. I'll add VT to my list, and maybe FLV.
FLV Cream is a staple for me! VT Sweet Cream is on my wishlist. is OOO Creamy underpants part of this category? bc that flavor is another must have.
I have TWO 4oz bottles of TPA DX Sweet Cream due to an error on River's part sending me someone else's order. lol who tf was ordering not only the DX version of Sweet Cream in the first place, but ordering two 4oz bottles of it?! and why tho?? i think that question bothers me more than the actual flavor does, which is saying a lot.
I love TFA Sweet Cream. Yeah it's old but one thing I've noticed over the years is that my favorite most satisfying recipes all have that ingredient. I've also played with CAP and FW Sweet Cream, enough to know that I'll probably never reorder CAP Sweet Cream since I prefer TFA and FW by a long shot. I've been working on a remix of Notorious with nuts and honey and in that one I shitcanned the CAP Sweet Cream. And thanks to this thread I've learned that VT Sweet Cream tastes like twinkie filling so I'll be picking some up for sure!
