Does anyone have a place to order this from.

I tried some this week in my icing and there is no way i am going back to crisco . It was like my buttercream with the smoothness of store bought. to good to be true ! I ordered off of ebay but 3lbs is not going to cut it for me .

I have ordered it from www.thebakerskitchen.com.

hi!!!

i ordered some from sugarcraft but they are very expensive in shippong. if you type in hi ratio shortening. i have seen a couple of threads that told where you could buy it in 50lbs. i tried it for the first time last week and it was sooooo good and even did a taste test with it and buttercream made with crisco and it won hands down. also, it holds up extremely well in our heat and humidity right now.

wich one did you order the brand that i had is C&K and worked like a gem but of course that is not listed.

I have bought mine from SYSCO. You can call and see if they have a cash and carry store by you. Same for bakemark

I have ordered Alpine from The Bakers Kitchen and had no problems. THeir prices have gone up though. The best thing to do is call local food distributors in your area to see if they have any. I was lucky enough to find one from an area food distributor that specializes in meats--they just happen to carry that too--but had to call and ask. They carry Sweetex and I find it just as good as the Alpine brand.

thanks so much for all your responses sysco in my area does not do a cash sell but i can set upi an account with them and they are by far the cheapest.
