I found at our Price Chopper a brand called Best Choice and it is quite comparable to the old crisco. None of my customers seem to have noticed a difference.
You may have to try several to find what you want, but surely you can. The new Crisco just doesn't work! I don't care what Crisco is telling everyone or telling you to do such as add cake flour or cornstarch. My icing has had cornstarch in it for years and the new Crisco was awful! A nightmare! I don't do much fondant and don't have the time to spend on French buttercream or some of those others and some of my customers are allergic to eggs so that wouldn't work either. Last week alone I went through about 200# of powdered sugar so I need to make big batches at a time in my 20 quart mixer.
