Why not post what you've done, so we can see what flavorings you are using?
Did you put Almond Extract in it? That seems to be common,

I've tried plain vanilla and tried with out any "flavorings". I'm sure it
isn't almond and am wondering if it might be a special bakery mixture -
"butter and something flavoring" or something like that.

Personally, I use vanilla and a small amount of either lemon or orange extract
or both. Never almond.

Some use butter-vanilla- and hint of hazelnut..
