Lea, trans fats do not make it hi ratio. It’s the commercial formula and special emulsifiers. Since this article was written, the FDA has banned ALL trans fats so we must purchase the hi ratio formulas available, now, with no trans fats, such as Sweetex Golden Flex.

You provided a link to the Stover website where we could purchase Sweetex but it clearly states on the box that it contains NO trans fats (because of the no trans fat law). Isn’t Sweetex now the same as Crisco? So what do we use if true high ratio shortening, with trans fats is no longer available?

But this shortening has no trans fat in it. How can it be high ratio?

Have used your buttercream recipe for years. LOVE it!! May I ask what changes I should make with it now that everything has gone to 0 transfat, even in the high ratio formulas. I used to use sweetex or alpine with great results. Now what? Please help ??
Thank you!!

Can you use this for dummy cakes and then frost to decorate?
