Proven Layering Ratios

• Flavorah Strawberry: 3:8 (Strawberry Smash to Strawberry) for a fuller strawberry in cream desserts
• Flavorah Whipped Cream: 3:11 (Strawberry Smash to Whipped Cream) in a strawberry cream pie
• Flavorah Vanilla Custard: 1:4 (Strawberry Smash to Vanilla Custard) for a custard filling

Also Pairs Well With

Let your palate set the balance: Flavorah Pound Cake and Flavorah Sweet Cream (strawberry cake roll or shortcake profiles) and Flavorah Vanilla Pudding and Flavorah Caramel for a richer dessert base.

Building a Layered System

Velvet Strawberry Roll, a customer-proven formula: Strawberry, Pound Cake, Cream, Sweet Cream, Strawberry Smash, Smooth Vanilla, Sweetness, Marshmallow, Lemon, and Vanilla Bean at about 54:32:14:12:7:6:5:5:4:4. Strawberry and Pound Cake lead, the creams support, and Strawberry Smash adds the bright top. Suited to cream liqueurs, shakes, and cake-flavored drinks. Spellbound (a strawberry cream pie at 12:11:8:6:4:4:3) improves with rest.

Formulation Notes

Its partners change what the consumer feels: in a cream pie with custard and whipped cream Strawberry Smash reads comforting and nostalgic; in a light sponge with sweet cream quietly indulgent, a refined dessert that reveals itself slowly.

Approach

Start small in your own base, taste, and build in steps before scaling. As the lead strawberry it sits toward the middle of each range; as a second strawberry beside Flavorah Strawberry, lower. It carries a full, bright strawberry profile into hard candy, gummies, sodas, frostings, and pouches; in strawberry fruit preps, a small amount can also keep the profile consistent across seasonal crops. Write down every change; repeatable batches start with a repeatable bench record.

Usage by Application

• Beverages (non-alcoholic, alcoholic, functional): 0.03-1.5% of the finished beverage; start at 0.1%. Add post-fermentation for beer, cider, and kombucha.
• Custom syrups: 2% or stronger (1 part flavor to 50 parts syrup); start at 2%. Build syrups at full strength and dose to taste in the finished drink.
• Baking and bakery: 0.2-3% by weight of batter or dough; start at 1%. Heat drives off some aroma, so batters sit higher than fillings; add with the wet ingredients.
• Frostings, fillings, dairy, and frozen: 0.1-2% by weight; start at 0.3%. Taste frozen bases at serving temperature.
• Candy and confectionery: 0.2-4% by weight; start at 0.5%. Bright enough to lead a candy; add at the end of the cook as the batch cools, with a little Sweetness.
• Functional oral pouches (energy, caffeine, nootropic, vitamin, and regulated pouch products): 0.3-3% of pouch fill weight; start at 1%. Compatible with MCC and common humectants; test release over 20-40 minutes.
• Non-consumable products: fishing bait 0.5-5% or higher by weight of bait, start at 1%; animal attractants 1-5% or higher by weight of attractant, start at 2%; home aroma (candles, diffusers, room sprays) 1-5% by weight of wax or base, start at 2%. Dense baits and solid blocks hold more; small test pours confirm scent throw before production.
