Where can I find it?

A: Unlike alcohol-based extracts, emulsions are water-based, and their flavors won’t fade when they hit hot temperatures. You can substitute one teaspoon of bakery emulsion for a teaspoon of extract. LorAnn makes a variety of flavored emulsions. You’ll find 4-ounce bottles of LorAnn Butter-Vanilla Bakery Emulsion for $7.29 at Cake Art, 3744 Lawrenceville Highway, Tucker, 770-493-1305. Visit cakeart.com for more LorAnn flavors.

Q: A long time ago, there was an article about where to send music boxes to be repaired. I cannot find that information. I’ve collected music boxes for a long time, and I have a couple that need repair. Thank you so much. — Vicki Morris, Atlanta
