Does anyone know where to get the Butter Vanilla Emulsion in Canada?  Or even a store in the Buffalo, NY area. I've never seen them before. 

I did find this http://www.vanillafoodcompany.ca/SearchResults.asp?Search=emulsion, pretty pricey though, plus $7 shipping.  Let me know if any of my fellow Canadians have found something less expensive.

Emulsions are great but extracts work just as well.In my case the emulsions were cheaper than the extracts at 2.99. ;)

Umpa, this looks great!!  I can't wait to try it.  Just curious why you used peanut oil instead of just canola oil.  What is the difference?

You are going to love it Owensmath.  Next time I'm not going to bother colouring the zucchini.
