Where do you guys order yours from? I have been using the Alpine, but i can't remeber where i ordered it from last time.
Thanks

Oh gosh I almost don't even want to talk about this!! LOL I'm in Canada and I had a big thread last week of where to get it Canada...... which is not that easy! Since you're in the U.S., I'm pretty sure Sweetex is available at Global Sugar Art. I remember reading last year that he doesn't ship it during the summer months. I'll look at a few other places, I know there were alot of places in the U.S. HTH!!
I get mine from a local shop, but it's named something funky I've never had anyone else mention using before - PS99. Works wonderfully though.
Why are certain names blocked as shown in brackets in the above postings? Are we not allowed to use brand names? I've seen brand names of powdered sugar, cakes mixes, shortening, etc. on here as well as specific websites so I'm confused.
From what i have read it is called hi ratio, because it is used in recipes that have a high ratio of sugar to other ingredients. It is made with emulsifiers and is more temp. stable.
Thanks

I'm in Dallas. Cake Carousel sells hi ratio but it's not Sweetex it's made by Wesson. You can get it by 50lb or 4lb ($8.50) incremements.
Cakes Amore in Plano also sells hi ratio but their brand is Verme or something..I had never heard of it and it's $2.15 a lb. I wish I knew which one was going to be better because the price is basically the same.
By the way is $2.00 a lb normal? I've never used or costed out hi ration but I really want to try it to see if it makes a difference.
I just bought some from www.fondant source.com (remove the space) it was $89 for a 50lb block
