I was reading about a recent tip on T/F about using bakery emulsions instead of extracts. It sounds like a better idea, but what are they? Where would I buy them? Also are they expensive? Many thanks.

Hi Helen :-) From what I checked out online about bakery emulsions is that they contain vegetable gums in the emulsion base to help retain flavor during baking. I am skeptical about it but maybe you could speak with a couple of your bakeries to see what they think about it and exactly which recipes they use them for, if they use them. I searched where to purchase online and a 4 ounce bottle of each flavor is about $5.00 USD plus shipping.
Hi Deeli many thanks for your reply and taking the time to find out for me. I will let you know what i find out Helen xxx
I have found great success in using Wilton candy flavours in some of my baking. You might try a candy / cake making / decorating supplier for one close to you.
I have used bakery emulsions from LorAnn. They sell an array of oils for flavoring candies as well as bakery emulsions. Their website is:
