I LOVE every single flavor I have purchased from The LoAnn brand! They do not taste super artificial, they blend well into both fondant and buttercream, and they aren't super overly strong (unlike a lot of extracts), so if you accidently put an extra drop or two into your base, it isn't going to completely ruin it! This Madagascar vanilla is my go-to for vanilla extract and I always have plenty of it on hand!
