It comes out much smoother - I've made it with both. With the transfat free - It crusted nicely, but it also had a LOT of cracks.

In the recipe she uses crisco, which is definately not high ratio.

I want to try her recipe also, but I will try it with both so I can see if there is enough of a difference.

Does her recipe need to be refridgerated? (since it has milk)

indydebi...doesn,t use high ratio shortening.. but sugarshack does.. it is a cleaner tasting icing when you use hi-ratio shortening. it is not greasy feeling or tasting..hth

i always replace the regular shortening with hi ratio in recipes cos it will definitely taste better. even used it in my class buttercream last year in my wilton courses : )
