Vanilla extract substitute

why not? it will simply have an almond flavor instead of vanilla. i find that almond extract is a bit stronger and more prevalent than vanilla, so start with using just half, then add more if you like the flavor or think it needs it.

I agree... Add small amount and taste. Will you like almond flavor with whatever you are icing?
