I may not have developed a "refined palate", but who cares? I know what tastes good to me. I am not an expert or a professional baker/decorator and don't profess to be. I am a home baker and have been baking for my family and friends for over 30 years. I refuse to take even the slightest risk that someone would get sick from something I had made. To each his own!! If using powdered egg whites means my Italian Meringue is not "True Italian Meringue", who cares? So call it something else------, my unrefined palate still likes it! Just my opinion!

Thanks waterfallsoygurl! I'm going to try the organic ingredients in my next cake. If I find them just as workable and the taste is good I'll just pass the cost on to my buyers.

Thanks for the info!

Hey, no problem! Glad to help. I usually use half shortening, half butter, so I don't know how all shortening would work if that's what you do...
Good luck though!

dont forget that crisco has a lot a trans fat- very very bad for you vs butter that has no trans fat ( the small amount of trans it does have is a natural trans fat and is not any worst than saturated fat. at least yuor body ccan get rid of saturated- trans are just bad

Good point katiecake! That's acctually the main reason I use the organic brands of shortening! But as far as I know, butter and other saturated fats do not contain ANY trans fats ("natura" or otherwise). Feel free to corect me if I'm wrong.
