<p>I've done an extensive search online today, to make a decision ,and it seems that Sweetex wins. I've also learned that you can freeze it which is great for me, cause 50 lbs. will last me a long time. I'll let you know how it works. I've been using TBK hi ratio shortening but started searching for a better price. I found it at the Stover&Company wholesale store. 50 lbs. of Sweetex is $57.00 plus shipping. Can't beat it. So my verdict is Sweetex.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Katy Nott…</cite></p>

<p>I've no personal experience of these, being in the UK. But, from what I have read - Sweetex advertise themselves as being top quality for hi ratio cakes, whereas Alpine seems to come out favourite for icing.</p>

<p>I bought 50 pounds of Sweetex from a restaurant supply store this week. I was advised by the ladies in my cake club that it is the best. Have not yet tried it, but I can tell you that it feels like cold cream...so smooth and squishy that I just wanted to play with it and it is snow white.</p>
