Your bakery requires the best supplies and ingredients so you can create the finest and most desirable baked goods. Without them, your culinary creations won’t come out the way you require, nor will they satisfy your hungry customers. However, there are some baking ingredients that have a multitude of uses along with misuses. So it’s important you know which ingredients to use where to amplify your yummy treats.

When purchasing the right ingredients for your bakery, you undoubtedly require a wide variety of them: flour, sugar, sprinkles, eggs, oils, salt, brown sugar, icing, butter, and so much more. One ingredient that is vital for the success of any bakery, however, is icing shortening. But, which are the best options that every bakery needs in bulk and how can you use this product to improve your products?

Sweetex Shortening, specifically our Sweetex Golden Flex Cake and Icing Shortening, features a non-PHO formulation and is superior to many other shortenings for spreadability, color, texture, and flavor.

But Sweetex Shortening is not simply better than so many other shortenings. It also has its place in any baker’s arsenal where its many advantages over butter will earn it a top spot.
