Baking with Lychee – Dolce Flav Flavor in Cakes & Pastries

Food-flavor measurement note: Use Dolce Flav food-flavor concentrate at 0.3–0.6% of the unflavored component weight, added on top. Weigh the base in grams and multiply by 0.003–0.006, starting at 0.3%; 1,000 g of base gets 3–6 g. For cooked candy use the cooked mixture before flavor. For combined flavors in one base, keep their total within the range. Do not infer grams from drops or spoon volume. Calculate from the specific beverage, frosting, glaze, chocolate or other component being flavored, not separate toppings or accompaniments.

Want to take your baking from ordinary to unforgettable? Lychee, the delicate, floral, tropical fruit, brings a unique twist to cakes, pastries, and buttercreams. With Dolce Flav Natural Lychee Flavor, you can capture the exotic taste of fresh lychee without hunting for hard-to-find fruit or using heavy syrups. Measured amounts add a sweet, fragrant note that pairs beautifully with cream, fruit, and chocolate.
