High Ratio Shortening 3 lb.

I wish I could afford to buy this stuff more often. It is beyond amazing for buttercream icing. I like using shortening instead of butter so my buttercream icing can be left at room temp. I am just an in home baker that happens to make a little money from a hobby, so I cant use this stuff often, but it makes the icing so smooth it almost seems worth it to pay the extra money! If you bake cakes alot, you owe it to yourself to try this shortening

Best kept secret for great frosting on decorated cakes. Learned about this stuff from a professional cake maker. Soooo much better than crisco for Wilton type cake decorating. Better tasting too. I get rave reviews on my cupcakes now. Of course real butter is ALWAYS better, but it just doesn't hold up as well.

I am so happy to know I can purchase this type of shortening for my own home. I used this kind all the time when I was in college for Baking and Pastry Arts. The product came with no damage, looked good, and worked even better for the icing I had to make for a family wedding. Very pleased and will order it again when I need more.

I received my order today and I am very disappointed. My container arrive filthy with dust and debris all over it and deep gouges in the plastic on the sides. It also has an expiration date of May 31, 2016. As it is now February 3, 2016 I only have four months to use all the product. I don't know if this is normal for Hi-Ratio shorting as this is my first purchase, but I doubt it. This product is more expensive that other alternatives I typically use and I am not happy with what I see so far. I am hoping that it will redeem itself when I use it in my frosting. UPDATE: I have since used the product. It does work well with my frosting and removes most of the greasy texture. I still am only giving the product three stars, not because of the product itself, but because of the way it arrived and the short expiration date.

I have recently started going dairy free for health reasons. So that means I need to do my own baking. I needed a good recipe for butter cream that would hold up for some decorating. After some luck researching I came across this. This makes an amazing buttercream. You just need some butter flavoring go get that nice butter flavor. The consostency is more like store bought frosting. I need to refine the recipe a little so that it works more for me but spa far it's been amazing.

Great product, it's creamy and makes a lovely buttercream. It's just over priced. If I had more space I would buy in bulk at a cheaper price, but since I don't I will probably continue to purchase this.

just receive this product and used it yesterday with my buttercream recipe. I usually use all butter but did a half butter and hi ratio. end result I thought was pretty good. you could not taste the shortening in my opinion. the consistency was a little stiffer but I wanted to used it for decorations on a cake so that's even better.

Although the product is satisfactory and I use it all the time, I won't ever buy from this supplier again. First time I ordered it a while back, they had put a newer expiration date over the old one. The container was extremely dirty. Then I took a chance and ordered more last week, and it was almost 4 months out of date....someone must have bought a huge amount of it that was expired, damaged and tried to re sell it. Going to go back to my Sweetex brand,it's more expensive but always beautiful . I just cannot stand when a company just thinks we won't notice....
