Caroline's Mango Essence is an oil-based flavouring that captures the sweet, tropical character of fresh mango without the seizing risks of alcohol-based extracts. The oil carrier blends smoothly into buttercream, ganache, and white chocolate without causing separation, making it an excellent choice for tropical-themed cakes and vibrant summer celebrations.

Start with 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per cupcake batch or per 500g of buttercream. Oil-based essences are highly concentrated, so it is best to start with less and adjust to taste. What's the difference between an essence and an extract? Oil-based essences like Caroline's use an oil carrier rather than alcohol. This makes them a better choice for chocolate, ganache, and buttercream — alcohol-based extracts can cause chocolate to seize and may create separation in fat-based mixtures.
