Several on-line cake supply stores sell it. Youu might check with some cake supply shops or bakeries locally to see if they'll sell it to you. If you have AGS (American Gift Shoppe) stores they sell it, too.

I bought some today from a local cake store. I trust them so I'm pretty sure what they sold me is OK but has anyone else ever heard of/baked with the brand Vreamay?

Not familiar with that brand so I googled it and although it says it's a bakery cake and icing shortening, I didn't find anything that said it was hi-ratio. That doesn't meant it's not; it just means I didn't see the words "hi-ratio" so it could very well be hi-ratio. You can typically tell hi-ratio from Crisco by the mouth feel - hi-ratio isn't as greasy as Crisco. Hi-ratio tends to give a whiter, creamier buttercream - at least that's been my experience. I just made some b/c the other day with hi-ratio and I'm always so pleased with how it turns out.

I've gotten mine online. Just google Hi ration shortening and you'll get lots of hits. I've purchased it at www.fonadantsource.com and sugarcraft.com
