I found a site that has 50lb hig ratio shortening for less than $60. That's reall cheap of course shipping it a bit but still. Now, it doesn't have a brand name on it like Sweetex...etc For those who use this stuff does brand really matter? Or just the fact that it's high ratio it's okay. Please help really need to but some.

I have never used a brand name, but I have used hi-ratio and it was awesome. I took classes from a lady who has been doing cakes for over 40 years, and that was what she used. And that is a really good price. Mind sharing where you found it

It really is a good deal, I hope you can access it but the link above. I couldn't find it for any less than $89 a 50lb plus shipping. Well I guess I'm just going to order I hope I hear back from others. Thanks!
