Sorry we ran out of vanilla extract. A whole bunch of people suddenly came in and bought us out.
We do have Imitation Vanilla, though!
Yep. Feel free to take as much as you need

Vanilla Punch
Clear punch that is easy to make ahead of time, easy to serve, and wonderful tasting. Also very inexpensive to make for a large group. 2 tablespoons clear imitation vanilla extract, 2 cups water, 5 cups white sugar, 2 tablespoons almond extract

Wedding Cake Icing
Very simple! When making the decorations, use a little less water and a little more when icing the cake!

My one and only contribution to the whole vanilla extract fiasco is this: love yourself enough to buy the pure stuff.

Apple Walnut Cake
Chef’s Note: Reminds me of carrot cake, but isn’t.
Original recipe link
Makes: 9x13-inch, about 24 pieces
Ingredients
Cake
1 2/3 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tsp vanilla extract (4 tsp imitation)
2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
4 apples, unpeeled, chopped (~4 cup)
1 cup chopped walnuts
Frosting & topping
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 to 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
(opt.) 1/2 cup chopped walnut, for topping
Instructions
0. Chop up your apples.
I cut into 12 slices, top to bottom, then each slices into 4 or 5 pieces. Makes for a lot of apple
0. Preheat oven to 350°F
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and eggs together.
I used a hand whisk, and that worked fine; you don’t need electric beaters
2. Add oil and vanilla. Mix well.
3. Add in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to the mixture. Mix well.
4. Stir in apples and walnuts.
You do have enough batter to coat everything. Try to make sure there are no large spots of pure dough, but that most dough is stuck to apple.
5. Pour into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish
6. Bake at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean, 50-75 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Baking time will depend on the moisture in your apples. My apples, gala, needed the 75 minutes
7. For frosting, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar until the frosting has reached desired sweetness / spreading consistency.
8. Frost cooled cake. If desired, top with additional chopped walnuts
