CriscoWholesale

Shortening is an ingredient which we see often in American recipes. In Europe the product is used less frequently and it can therefore be hard to find it. But because of the many possibilities for baking products you can of course find Crisco at your wholesale CakeSupplies.

Shortening is the name for mainly vegetable fats which are solid at room temperature. We often use Crisco shortening with baking recipes, because the product doesn’t contain water and can therefore be added to a dough or batter without changing its consistency during baking.

What do we use Crisco for?
You will see Crisco often as an ingredient for cake batter and muffins, or for American Buttercream. Also, many cake decorators add a little bit of Crisco to fondant or gum paste, to make it stick a bit less. For the same reason is may be convenient to grease cutters or other tools lightly with Crisco. Needless to say it’s a jar full of possibilities, right?
