Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor, 11 fl. oz. Bottle, 1 Count (Packaging May Vary)

I love this product! I bake and decorate cakes for others, and this clear vanilla has excellent fĺavor. When my customer requests a white cake decorated with white buttercream icing, this clear vanilla is the way to go, especially when a bride orders a wedding cake that is iced white-white. A bit more expensive than other brands out there, but worth every penny. I think this review marks the 14th or 15th time I have purchased the Watkins clear vanilla from Amazon.

I own a small business making custom sugar cookies, and I have tried countless brands of vanilla over the years. This Watkins Clear Vanilla is, without a doubt, the best I have ever used. The Pros: • Flavor: The flavor profile is significantly improved compared to other clear vanillas I've tried. It doesn't have that artificial chemical aftertaste; it just tastes like quality vanilla. • Perfect for Decorating: The biggest selling point for me is that it is crystal clear. When you are making royal icing, using brown vanilla can ruin your bright whites. This keeps my icing perfectly white without sacrificing flavor. The Cons: • Shipping/Packaging: The only reason I hesitate is the way Amazon ships it. It is often tossed loose into a cardboard box with no bubble wrap or padding. Because of this, the cap is almost always popped off when it arrives. • Note: The bottle is hermetically sealed underneath the cap, so the vanilla itself has never been leaking or compromised, but it is annoying to have to hunt for the cap in the box every time. Verdict: If you need clear vanilla for baking or decorating, buy this. The product itself is 10/10, just be prepared for the cap to be loose in the box!

Recommend if you want to bake light color cookies, cakes or mix light colored icing. The vanilla quality is what you expect for a cheaper brand. The price was average to elsewhere that I've gotten it. Flavor is fine.

Very sharp-tasting Vanilla, Worth the money spent, very tasty.

Best for sugar cookie royal icing hands down!! Good flavor.

It's o.k. I don't have a lot of experience with clear vanilla and have only used real vanilla, so in comparison to the real thing, this just doesn't rank. It tastes to us more like marshmallows. It did give the frosting a reasonable flavor and it did let me get a pure white, but it just isn't what I would call a good real vanilla flavor. Because clear vanilla is imitation vanilla, I'm not sure I expected it to be like real vanilla, but I guess I expected it to be closer.

The best tasting imitation vanilla I ever had. I am an avid baker and have used many flavorings in my decades of baking, none compare to Watkins. This one is perfect for vanilla puddings, custards, frostings and more without altering the color. It's flavorful, affordable and a wise choice for your baking needs.

I needed some vanilla flavoring I looked around for a little bigger bottle and clear in color! Well this bottle is a great size bottle it’s clear and ease to use! It’s very versatile! No leakage with good cap. Flavor true to taste

Happy to find this on Amazon. Will buy again.

Love the taste very good vanilla don't use any other kind !!!

I was so happy to find clear vanilla available in this size container. I go through a ton of it with my small cake business and it's so convenient to be able to refill my smaller size container with. Watkins products have great flavour!

very good product. Will buy again

I used this for making Christmas cookies and icing that I wanted without any colour in them.
