Unicorn Vomit (FLAVRZ) 8% (5-30-23) ā Iāve never Unicornād before, so breaking NEW ground, again. At 8% this one was still fairly weak, with fairly unidentifiable individual flavors, but my first impressions were āSkilttles meets Sweettartsā. While somewhat relaxed, it really did present as a mixture of both of the aforementioned candies. I tried adding a drop of SS to see if it would āboostā it, and it did, albeit slightly. After about the third tester, it seemed as if the Sweet Tarts were a bit higher than the Skittles, if that helps. Having never unicornād before, I could still see a use for this flavor, as itās bright, candied tart/sweet/sour notes could be easily used in numerous recipes, but as a solo, it felt a little lacking. Not that it was 2 dimensional, but it just felt like it needed something. No off-notes, and at the testing weight it was just below mid-level sweet. After finishing the last tester, my original assessment stood, and that was (you guessed it), a bright, punchy pairing of Sweet Tarts, and Skittles. The somewhat relaxed nature of this one would be about the only take-off, and it felt fairly placed @ 7.1/10.
Onto it, mixed up, I might be dreaming! From my first taste I donāt think Iāve made coconut ice.
An ideas man, only problem my hands canāt keep up with my brain
It just needs a bit of flakey pastry and Iām closer to a coconut vanilla slice, with a touch more tweaking. Love these accidental findsā¦
@Jetz, @marsh8 I KNOW this isnāt possible, but I wonder if it could be done WITHOUT cooling, hehe.
@Jetz I was thinking last night do you have any pastry type flavours that could be the base for a pie or vanilla slice?
I would start with something like this
Coconut (Flavrz) - 8%
Marshmallow (Flavrz) - 6%
Marshmallow Custard (Flavrz) - 12%
Vanilla Custard (Flavrz) - 4%
Vienna Cream (Flavrz) - 2%
Sugar Cookie 2 (Flavrz) - 3%
Super Sweet (Flavrz) - 1.4%
I would also add our Rose flavour @0.1-0.2%
Never mixed it, though it should be very close.
Bakery Bonanza (Flavrz), yes it is a secret flavour concentrates. though can get our team to add it up.
Would use the following for a pastry base.
Bakery Bonanza (Flavrz) - 6% - not sure if @sessionsdrummer has that in the secret stash
Sugar Cookie 2 (Flavrz) - 3%
Sponge Cake (Flavrz) - 2%
Shortbread (Flavrz) 0.1-0.2%
Would add in Vanilla Bourbon - aka Bourbon @ 0.2% to get a vanilla note without adding creams, plus will give it a more soft grain feel, or just vanilla (flavrz) though at 0.1-0.2% if you are chasing on in the base. Also Marshmallow (Flavrz) will add to the puff pastry here as well @ 1% oddā¦ though again depends what you are looking for. This is more a Puff Pastry base above.
The options are endless as you could add cookie dough (Flavrz) instead of the sponge cake, cookies & cream (flavrz) , Golden Syrup (flavrz) , golden butter (flavrz) to spin it a different way.
That should give you something to work with.
Coconut ice only if itās mixed with pineapple juice and spiced rum . Iāll take two Pina Coladaās pleaseā:rofl:
This is the coconut slice I was thinking you where going to do
Though I would try the lemon tart (Flavrz) in there at 0.3-0.5% to get something like this

That was originally what I planned it just seemed to turn more into a vanilla slice without the pastry. I go off on a many tangents very quickly.
Oh a Kiwi baking recipe canāt go wrong
Now, Iām going to check ā¦
Thanks I will have a look when I place my next order. I am not a custard head but one of the best I have had (after the original grants and an oldie that was called redwood blend). was an uk liquid that was a custard slice more traditional but really good. IMHOā¦custard is better with pastry when having it, I thought it would be great if it was more of a Aussie vanilla slice. Itās not available outside the uk so been thinking of making my own version now I am back in Aus, this is a good starting point. I also have an idea for a twist on a fruit pie might play with that a bit.
@marsh8, Iāve never had a āLemon Sliceā, and not 100% sure what it is. Like a Lemon Meringue Filling sandwiched in between to layers of pastry ?
Iām still not located any Bakery Bonanza, BUT, it sure sounds good. I took the liberty of making the Pastry/Crust Base recipe, so I can save it for later useā¦
I would think a slice would be pretty popular in Australia. Thereās a million and one varieties. Another good one Raspberry Jam Coconut Slice.
Suppose you could think of it like a big rectangle cookie that is cut up in to pieces. A biscuit base with a topping of your choosing, peppermint slice, caramel slice I could go onā¦cheesecake slice which is just basically a rectangle one.
I hope that makes sense.
You can not claim that for the land of the big white cloudā¦ plus you live is STRALIA MATE!!!
Might have a slightly different name - like Bonaza Swirl or Bakery something ā¦
Na I was complementing Kiwi baking recipes I use them more than Aussie ones to be honest when I bake.
Aussie with a Kiwi passport here, voted for 20 years before AEC kicked me off the roll.
From the archives: Flavor Revolution had (has?) one by that name. Kind of a snickerdoodle profile
