####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####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 can go for a custard filled donut right now.
the only flavor I can think of to fit this theme was CAP Custard Cake (yummy) but after checking ATF, it looks like FA Custard Pi 3.14, SA Vanilla Custard Nougatine+ OOO Vanilla Custard Cheesecake may fit the bill as well? I think SA VCN, OOO VCC + CAP CC are all worth having. I will have to try my unopened Custard Pi soon, I'm curious to know if it has the lemon notes of FA's regular Custard.
Chef's Super Concentrate also has a Custard Cake so I think this is basically a battle between two custard cake flavors, but there are a few others that might fit the bill.
CHF Spotted Dick & Custard
CHF Nice Custard Cream
CHF Jam Roly Poly & Custard
FA Custard Pi
OOO Vanilla Custard Cheesecake
WF Flapper Pie
WF Mille Feuilles
HC Egg Custard
Here's the list I came up with - not sure if they all fit
CAP Custard Cake
CHF Custard Cake
CHF Jam Roly Poly & Custard

I love some bakery custards, something about them is just right for fall.
LOL, great title Dave.
I guess they'll be talking about CAP custard cake again. I would think you'd be better off just building your own custard cake. FA premium custard is tough to beat. From there add a cake. JF yellow cake, PUR simple cake, WF angel cake, WF fluffy white cake to name a few.
