Details

Add warm and sweet vanilla flavor to your cakes, cookies, and pastries using Shank's white imitation vanilla flavoring. It's also great for making sauces, frostings, and flavored drinks! In contrast to pure vanilla extract that has a naturally dark color, this imitation vanilla is clear. It's just what your bakery needs in order to make brilliantly bright white vanilla frostings. Now, you'll be able to add great vanilla flavor without imparting any additional color to your sweet treats! Besides baking applications, try using a dash of vanilla flavor with smoothies, coffees, puddings, chocolates, or other confections. This imitation vanilla extract is gluten-free, so it can be used to create mouthwatering gluten-free baked goods and other flavorful menu items that all of your guests can enjoy.

The roots of Shank's Extracts, Inc. date back to 1899 when Jacob Shank created flavorings to help make medicines taste better. Expanding their company and label through the years, Shank's flavors, extracts, and food colorings are now sold to industrial and grocery customers across the country. Headquartered in Pennsylvania, Shank's modern manufacturing and packaging facility produces a variety of fine flavors for cooking, baking, and confectionery applications. Enhance the flavor of any dish when you use this white imitation vanilla flavoring!

Can't believe what a great price this butter flavoring is compared to the one I was previously using! I was concerned it wouldn't taste as good, but no one has noticed a difference.

I've been using this white (clear) imitation vanilla in my royal icing and it gives it such a nice vanilla flavor. Because it's clear, it doesn't effect the coloring of the icing. Great value!

I need to use a double amount to make my goods have a nice vanilla flavor. The flavor isn't super strong; however, it doesn't taste super artificial, which is why I buy this product.

I love this clear vanilla. It has a great vanilla taste and adds so much flavor to my buttercream and royal icing. Definitely buy a couple of bottles, because you will go through it!

I really love this vanilla for my white and vanilla cupcakes. It is clear so your cupcakes can remain white and light in color and it has a full body flavor to it that adds a nice touch to our cupcakes!

I always get my vanilla from WebstaurantStore! Can’t beat the price. The shanks immitation is perfect.. clear product keeps from discoloring your icing. Excellent taste and smell.. can’t tell this apart from the pure vanilla.

With the skyrocketing costs of pure vanilla these days, this is a great alternative to use in baked products. The vanilla flavor is strong and blends well with all types of cake batter and cookie dough. I have used both in my recipes, but there is no discernible difference in taste - it is a fantastic product!

I love Shank's imitation Butter. It has a great flavor and is by far the best value I have found. We use it in our meal replacement shakes for that extra punch of flavor.

This is a good butter flavoring. It definitely gets the job done, but it takes a little more than I would like for me to get that true butter flavor. For the price you definitely can't beat it!

This is the best maple flavoring that I have used! Some flavorings that I have used leave a fake aftertaste in your mouth, but this one tastes very natural. A little bit goes a long way as well.

Our regular white vanilla brand has changed and we were looking for another vanilla that would be the same, Shanks is it! Great flavor and aroma. We would highly recommend this brand over many of the others we have tried.
