Help!!!! this change in the hi ratio shortening is stressing me to no end. my beautiful buttercream is no longer light . It is heavy and separates from the flavoring easily. it almost seems as though I added oil the the mix. any hint on how to work with the new shortening formulas?

I just don't understand why they have to go and fix something that does not need fixing. It is sickening that they take a perfectly good product and mess it up for all the cakers.

Why they had to go & fix something that does not need fixing is because 'they' think they are saving our life - clearing our arteries!    As I suggested on another post - try using a bit of lard in your recipe to reintroduce trans-fats.  Maybe that will help.  I don't think it would take much but then I've never tried it.
