Our Favorite Carnival Inspired Flavors
The sights and sounds of carnivals are truly unique, from the flashing lights to the tinny air of old-fashioned music being piped from the merry-go-round. Just as special are the flavors of carnivals, and with that in mind let’s take a look at some of our favorite carnival inspired flavors, which can be used in many different areas of flavor creation.
When one thinks of carnival inspired flavors, it’s impossible not to think of cotton candy. Freshly spun, warm cotton candy is a subtle flavor, and in a way that makes it somewhat difficult to replicate through other means. Smart flavor designers have found a way to make that possible, however, and the flavor of cotton candy can be found in everything from frozen dessert treats to novelty candy and more. There are even flavored liqueurs available that use cotton candy as a flavor note for a fun and unique carnival-inspired twist.
Another popular carnival-inspired flavor is candied apple. Candied apples have a unique flavor in part because of the way that they combine the flavor of their candy coating with the tart and fresh flavor of the apple within. As is the case with cotton candy, this particular carnival inspired flavor has found its way into many different areas of the flavor market. On the other hand, creative flavor designers have also found many different recipes for the creation of the candy coating on candied apples. That means that there is a lot of room for fun and creativity when it comes to the creation of dishes inspired by this carnival flavor.
Finally, let’s not forget perhaps the most popular carnival flavor overall – popcorn. The fresh buttery flavor of popcorn, available through the use of Advanced Biotech’s 3 Acetyl Pyridine, is something that inspires a sense of comfort and fun in plenty of individuals. It is a unique flavor, which makes it especially popular in the creation of novelty candy items such as jellybeans. From the savory notes of the freshly popped kernels themselves to the many different flavor combinations that can be used to create cheese popcorn, kettle corn, and much more, there are plenty of things to think about when it comes to crafting delicious popcorn flavors.
These are just a few of our favorite carnival inspired treats and represent just a few of the delicious options that are available. The next time you’re looking to craft something whimsical and fun, consider using a summer carnival as inspiration for your new flavor creations.
