LorAnn Peppermint Baking Emulsion delivers a clean, cool peppermint flavour that stays bright through baking. As a water-based emulsion, it blends without seizing chocolate — making it ideal for chocolate peppermint ganaches, candy cane-flavoured buttercream, and festive Christmas bakes. A little goes a long way with this highly concentrated formula.

Baking emulsions are water-based, which means the flavour won't evaporate during baking the way alcohol does in an extract. They also won't seize melted chocolate — making them safe to use in ganaches and chocolate batters. LorAnn Baking Emulsions are more concentrated than most extracts, so you typically get a stronger, more consistent result with less product. How much LorAnn Peppermint Baking Emulsion should I use? Peppermint is one of the more potent emulsion flavours — start with half a teaspoon per cup of batter or icing and taste before adding more. In ganache, a quarter teaspoon can be enough. For a clearly peppermint buttercream, work up to 1 teaspoon. Over-flavouring with peppermint is easy, so always taste first.
