This is what a honey bun is to me, and the juice profile I would look to emulate. Far below the standards of the home kitchen (maybe?) and far from a tender, warm hug on a plate. But I like them. I just know that they immediately begin to impart a pear shape to the figure, so they are an exceedingly rare food source for me.
Is that the price $1.79 for 6 for these things?
So says the box! (Box also says ‘Breakfast Pastries’ but I’ve never had one for brekkie).
Hey @Fishaddict420, home slice claims to be a fisherman, yet says he’s never had a honey bun for breakfast!! 
lol (kidding Phil… It only means you’re not a Southern fisherman. 
lol)
After sitting overnight my version definitely needs more sweet icing LOL the bread part is fine, still needs to steep more because well it always has with that flavor. Give me dang sweet glazed sugar icing hahahha
Never said I was. Come on bro, we roll in The Lou.
oh boy I could start a war on this issue… unless you’re catching catfish, I’m just using your fish for bait LOL off topic SNORTS
Now Michelle, you live in Alabama and should know better than that with the size of bass that grow down there lol, and @Sprkslfly we should all be so lucky as to not have had a honeybun for breakfast on the lake lol, I prefer the cinnamon powdered sugar donuts myself lol but sometimes a honeybun is all the gas station has that isn’t expired…if you can’t tell a lot of my favorite lakes are out in podunk-ville, I have found so much expired stuff on gas station shelf’s way out in the country…you know it’s bad when candy bars are expired by a year, those things have a 5 year shelf life lol
I’ll take the bait( see what I did there;p), bass are more fun to catch and crappie taste better lol I do like catfish though…I just hate sitting in one place for that long
That’s actually my favorite thing about catfishing. I mean, that’s why they invented beer all those millennia ago, right?
While I’m eating my honey bun (not really cause sugar issues) I seven iron off to the Dam after catching some shad in my net, and reel in those big old catfish like there’s no tomorrow. 
Might be some salt water stripes in there too ROFLMAO
I don’t really ever drink though, but my favorite part of bass fishing is using fake bait and tricking the fish into biting it, that’s the game to me lol even when I go after panfish I use little 1/32 or 1/64 ounce jigs and crappie nibbles, I haven’t bought beemoths in 3-4 years lol and no bobbers ever for panfish, I have a special ultralight rod that I can cast those little jigs with.
I wanna go fishing…it’s exactly 32 for the high today here in Indiana, and my whole weekend has been planned out already:( next weekend I’m gonna go, as long as the water isn’t hard lol
My flavors just arrived and my first thought based on smell is
FLV Sweet Dough
Cap Funnel Cake
WF cookie butter
Keep in mind this is only for the bread part
LOL the cinnamon roll is more of a one shot than a concentrate in my opinion
curious if it’s gonna include that classic artificial/preservative film they leave at the top of your mouth 
what’s a honey bun without that??
Like a sticky bun and a krispy creme got drunk and friendly with a vending machine, and the honey bun was born lol.
So three months ago, before the world, well, you know…
I jumped on this thread.
Weren’t we all so innocent then?
Anyway, I read this thread and contributed in my own way, and was truly engrossed in the idea of capturing a flavor, much like a photographer captures a perfect sunset. It wasn’t about honeybun, but more about a team effort to do this together.
We all got distracted, and frankly had we intended what we said back in early February, might have even ordered a few concentrates to aid in the pursuit of this recipe that I’m not even sure any of us REALLY wants to vape.
But I was intrigued.
So were you.
So tonight, after remixing many of my faithful recipes and trying out some new summer recipes with refreshing pears and citruses, I jumped back here.
I had read all the comments before, and I read them all again.
Pro-vapes had his Mic drop, Smokey had her seemingly odd contributions like lemon and others that I wanted to honor, Fidalgo concocted a dough base and others added by either debating or clarifying, suffice to say I read everything three times.
As I said in my earlier contributions I’m a sophomore mixer, but a culinary whiz. That can work for or against me.
So I took it on tonight.
How I did it, will be a long and convoluted story that will bore many, so if you are bored easily, skip this.
My methods are strange, and I hope they don’t spur any of the arguments that seem to divide us, because if at any time, we should be huddled together as one during a time that no one seems to understand.
That having been said, here’s how I did it.
Oh, and I am only looking at three 60 ml bottles of honeybun works in progress, not proclaiming victory. They might all suck. This is not an instructional post, it’s me telling you how I did, right or wrong.
And understand, I can take a person’s spice rub for ribs that everyone is raving about, pour a tsp of it onto a sheet of parchment and literally dissect it under a magnifying glass and duplicate it. All these chemicals and compounds, I don’t do as well.
So let’s listen to my long story with an attitude of fun and experimentation, shall we?
First off, honeybun. I’d recently gone to a gas station and bought one to taste. It was a hostess. Nope.
I wanted the little Debbie honeybun. I’d go get some later.
But anyway I went into my cabinet of flavors and pulled out anything I thought might contribute to what I remembered about the flavor profile, of course just from MY 300 flavors. I came out with 25.
Then I made a list of things that, this time, when I nibbled on the honeybun, I would specifically taste for. And rate from one to ten.
This is the list, and my eventual ratings of each of the flavor notes, after having gone to the store and bought them and started gnawing on them…
Honey 1
Nutmeg 1
Powdered sugar 6
Grease 6
Butter 3
Cinnamon 4
Milk 1
Condensed milk 2
Powdered milk 0
Cake 7
Cookie 2
Cooked cookie butter 2
Sugar n/a
Caramel 2
Corn 2
Yeast 5
Orange/citrus 3
Toasted bread 1
Toasted marshmallow 0
Vanilla 5
Malt 4
Rice 0
Brown sugar 2
Maple 0
Egg 1
Donut 2
Apple pie 7
Yellow cake 4
It took me 4 of the damned things to complete the ratings. You’re welcome. I’m fat now.
By the way, the apple pie and yellow cake were a late entry. Turns out, basically, if you eat a little Debbie honeybun it is strong on Apple pie. Very strong. It’s basically apple pie glossed in sugar. No honey. It’s a lie.
From that list I then took the 24 or so flavors I’d chosen and sniffed or knuckle tested each of them, determining which of them I thought might contribute. I narrowed it down to about 14.
With a couple of 2nd string bench warmers to step in to carry a different load.
And then I went to the scale to mix my first, the one I am fairly certain will be a mess of flavors that mute each other and taste like my first 50 recipes that mostly sucked when I started. But what the hell, and this is honeybun 1…
