I've got a 100ml of this busy steeping (plan is to steep it for 2 months and I am about half way through)... I am so keen to try this...
I only have the necessaries for Strawnana Custard ... shall definitely be giving that a try, thanks
@Rude Rudi - I have everything for Strawnana, except LA Bananacream - I have TFA Bananacream however. I know DON'T SUBSTITUTE, bit do you have any thoughts on this?

I have made it with both and they are both very good. HOWEVER, the LA Banana Cream version is without a doubt much better.
Because of the extended steep time here, I recommenced that you rather get the LA to appreciate this masterpiece fully. Perhaps make it if TFA now while you order the LA and than you can compare the two. Nothing "wrong" with the TFA version, the other is just better...
As per the creator: "I finally got around to trying this with Banana Cream (TPA), it is pretty good but quite a bit different. IMO TPA is less creamy and more runty tasting while LA has a better mouthfeel, and tastes/smells more like those taffy with jokes in the wrapper."
Give it a go!
Thanks - I will give it a go and add LA to my next order when I get to SA

You will love it!!! It is difficult to understand how this relatively simple recipe can have such a complex dimension to it. The ratios are perfect and if you make it as per the recipe, you will add this to your top 5 (or 3) even...
You can thank me later...! LOL! You have to make this to understand...it's (no bull) one of the best combo's around...
Been doing some restocks of Simply Cannoli, Funfetti, Pistachio RY4U and some Dunkaroo's. Alot of my mixing recently has been for friends so last order was mostly refills and only a few flavors to test some new recipes.
Mango Sticky Rice Awesome stuff from Shyndo, super accurate and tasty
Leche de Coco Delicious creamy coconut milk with no sunscreen offnotes, really enjoying this one.
Simple Vanilla Powdered Donut GF wanted me to find a simple doughnut recipe for her and it was nice and quick to throw together, still needs a bit of a longer steep.
Coop's Kiwi Bourbon Had to try the Toasted Marshmallow/Kentucky Bourbon combo I'd read about.
Simple Lemon Cake Have really enjoyed the other two recipes I tried from Rage, just smelling INW Lemon Cake made me glad I ordered it. If it tastes as accurate as it smell's I'll be a happy lad.
Also got in FE Lemon finally to try literally the first recipe I ever read when starting to research DIY a couple months back.
Jacksters Cereal Killa Clone (revised version) The ingredients for this (minus FE Lemon) were part of my first order, it's also where I learned that subbing doesn't work the way I first thought it would. Tried CAP Lemon Sicily, TFA Fruit Circles and a combo of them but none could stand up to the oranges and it just tasted like orange froot loops. The wait for FE Lemon didn't disappoint, even though its a pretty old recipe it really nails the accuracy for me, straight up artificial candied citrus cereal coated in sugar just like when I was a kid. Some cool stuff!
Other than that been trying to finish up all the random 5ml leftovers so I could do a big bottle wash as well as the usual slack SFT and some recipe attempts.

Did you use Vanilla Cupcake V1 or V2? I made this a while back with V2 and it didn't quite came out as I expected... Perhaps V1 will be better...
That Kiwi Bourbon is outstanding = it showcases FA Kiwi in all its glory!
Have not made this but with the Capella SL this will probably not be a bad one
I used V1 of the Vanilla Cupcake, don't have V2 yet so don't really know how different they are. It's not quite what I was looking for either. Gonna keep tabs on it during the steep and see if my opinion changes.
And I just made a Strawnana Custard as well... I just couldn't let the opportunity pass me by...
Just got 27 Bears as well... But I do not have FA Juicy Strawberry... sigh...
Mixed a lovely apple and strawberry this morning have been steeping the whole day, and oh my, I found my new ADV
Waw! @Einstein43, the whole day! Lol. Only joking, please do not take offence. That wait for a juice to steep is such a mental torture, I need to joke about it to ease the burden.
In any case, I have had such a horrid mixing week. Making stupid mistakes and messing things up so unnecessarily that I am truly peed with myself right now. At least reading about the other posters successes eases the trauma a bit.
Well done guys!
