Details

Craft eye-catching cakes, cupcakes, and bright white icing with Stratas Sweetex Golden Flex high ratio cake and icing shortening! Made with oil from American-grown soybeans, this high ratio shortening is free of any partially hydrogenated oils, making it an ideal trans fat-free option. However, it still offers many of the properties of hydrogenated oils and contains additional emulsifiers, yielding icings with a smooth, creamy texture, superior spreadability, and a silky mouthfeel, as well as fluffy, fat-based cakes with a tender texture and moist crumb. With zero grams of trans fat per serving, this shortening is a great choice for making wholesome baked goods.

This product was developed for use in high ratio cakes to yield outstanding flavor and rich texture. Its high ratio formula is easier to work with over a range of temperatures, making it a smart choice for use in a wide variety of recipes. It resists cracking at low temperatures and won't melt or drip at high temperatures. The fluffy product that results from frostings made with this shortening allows fillings and icings to hold up in a wide array of baked goods. No matter how you choose to flavor and apply it, use this shortening as the base for icings and cakes that will become the best-selling products in your establishment!

We've been using Sweetex for 2 years in our little bakehouse. It's primary roll is for our signature snickerdoodles but it makes a lovely, light and fluffy buttercream. We take a wire and premeasure and wrap in cubes for easy use and storage. We are small, so one block gets us through about 4 months. It maintains perfect integrity until used. It's a great quality product at a great price.

We get the creamiest buttercream with the Sweetex shortening + it is more stable than regular shortening from the store. We make a delicate Swiss meringue buttercream with this product and have found it holds slightly better in the heat than what we originally used for shortening. Summer months are stressful for transporting cakes safely in warmer temps, but this has helped a bit!
