Ladies,
I've been using CK Hi-Ratio shortening for a year or so and am quite happy with it. It is the only hi ratio shortening available to me locally and is $15 for 3 lbs. Ouch! So, I'm in the market for a new shortening. From what I've read on CC, Alpine is a highly suggested brand because it holds up better in summer months. Does anyone buy Alpine online in small batches, like 3 to 5 pounds? I really don't think I can use 50 pounds in one year. I also don't have someone to share with. Has anyone ordered from SugarCraft.com? I seem to remember awhile back someone stated they had some trouble with that site.
Thanks in advance!
Stay Sweet!!

Have you tried Amazon? They have 2lbs and 3lbs for sale: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/181-6851685-3786118?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=alpine+hi-ratio+shortening
Craftybanana: I saw that on Amazon but was not sure if it was the same Alpine shortening. Maybe just different packaging? When I searched for Alpine, this is the product I assumed everyone on CC talks about...

Hi-Ratio stands up better to heat and/or humidity, makes a smoother and whiter buttercream. Can anyone tell me what the difference is in Alpine and Alpine Z.

I use this all the time, works great and is a good price. Fast shipping too.
