Sweetex Golden Flex High Ratio Shortening for use in Cakes, Icings and Sweet Doughs. Can be colored with any gel color or flavored with any frosting flavorings such as drams, extracts, or natural flavors. When used in combination with your favorite icing this helps to make the consistency and texture of the icing easier to work with and helps the icing last longer, delaying the breakdown many icings experience when they dry out.

Golden Flex expands the reach of non-PHO shortenings into the more challenging baking applications. Unlike most non-PHO shortenings which suffer reduced functionality and flexibility compared to PHO shortenings, Golden Flex is a true PHO-free drop-in replacement.

Sweetex FAQs

What is high ratio shortening?

High ratio shortening contains emulsifiers (mono and diglycerides) that let it hold more sugar and liquid than regular shortening. That gives you smoother, creamier icing and moister, finer-crumbed cakes.

Why use Sweetex in buttercream?

Sweetex makes a brilliant white icing that spreads easily, colors evenly with gel or oil-based colors, and has no waxy mouthfeel. Shortening-based buttercream also holds up better than all-butter frosting in warm weather.

What sizes of Sweetex do you sell?

We sell 1.5 lb and 3 lb tubs repackaged from the original box, plus the full 50 lb box for bakeries.

How long does Sweetex last?

Sweetex has a 365-day shelf life. We repackage it every week, so the tub you buy from us stays fresh for a full year from purchase.
