Dang it, I've gotta drive 45 miles to get me some Rich's Bettercreme? Why doesn't anyone else carry it?!! . Just to make sure y'all were paying attention, Cake Palace in Carson does carry Rich's Whip N Ice. I emailed Rich's fo find out how it differs from Bettercreme and it simply has a shorter shelf life: 4 hrs at room temp/ (instead of 5 days)3 days in the fridge (after whipping)/2 weeks thawed unopened in the fridge. Still good for a yr frozen though.

I only mention it because if some of you are further South, a trip to Glendora might just be TOO far but wanted to let you know there is a workable alternative only about 20-30 min from you. I think I posted this in the Bettercreme thread about 100 yrs ago

Yes, Glendora is in the boondocks. But I think that I did see Bettercreme somewhere more local - could it have been Smart & Final? Surfas? Can't remember - preggo brain has not left yet - but when I do, I'll be sure to post.

The only one I've been to is Surfas and it's divine. In my dreams, I'm returning there to shop........

S+F only carries the chocolate Bettercreme. For vanilla they only carry Pastry Pride and Frostin' Pride (which are disgusting IMO). I asked about special orders since they obviously are a reseller for Rich's products, but they don't do them . Surfas doesn't carry it, unless it's new to their inventory; I called them about it several months ago.

But hey at least we tracked down the Fondarific, right?

It must have been S&F - I didn't look to close when I saw it.

save!
Thanks!
