I understand that this is great in frosting, but can it be used to make cakes and cookies etc?

I have not tried it in anything other than the frosting; however, a friend of my daughter's tried it in her pie crust and said it was the absolute best pie crust she had ever made. I am going to try it in some cookies very soon. I believe the substitution ratio for this shortening is 2/3 cup for each 1 cup regular shortening but you can research that on the web to find out for sure.

I have never tried it in baking, but it has less water content, you would have to play around with the liquids in your cakes and cookies.

Yes this does make excellent butter cream icing especially good for use in high temps and high humidity areas. I have never used it for anything other than icing though so I'm not sure about cakes and cookies.

I've not tried it yet in those recipes, as my go to cake and cookie recipes use canola oil or butter.

Yes, you can! I use it in some dishes, mainly sweet baked goods. However, I CAN taste it. Especially if I fry on it. The least pleasant experience I had--is frying fish on it---taste was terrible. So now I just avoid frying on it.

It could but I did not end up liking it. Once the cookies were baked, the image did not show up. It might work better for chocolate. I think if I was doing chocolate, I would look at those molds that are plastic like material and flexible. Not sure what they are called. Good luck!

I haven't used it for something like that, although I don't know why you couldn't. I've mainly used mine for pie crust and biscuits. I love it. Give it a try for you red velvet or pumpkin cake roll. I think it would probably work pretty good. Good luck.

I wouldn't see why not. When I got it in the mail I kept it in the package and gave it to my cake lady to apply. I also used one of these for a cookie cake. Its just a thin layer that you place on top of the cake. Looks GREAT.

It definitely can be used for thicker frosting, but you will probably want to use the larger tips.

it can be used for pastry flour but I use it mainly for cake baking because in is a much finer flour than all purpose flour. Therefore cakes are lighter in texture when baking.

I've never used it in baking. I use it to taste in hot beverages. Start out with half what you normally use and add if needed.

Yes, you can. In the recipe book you will find recipes and how tos for various things. (EX. Cake Mix) Also, if you check ebay, theres a few on there for quiet cheaper. I'm selling one of mine because I made a mistake and ordered 2.(I have a memory issue)

It says on the package that it can be used for baking. I have never done so but have used it as a sweetner for several years now.

Yes, you can bake with it and it's great. It has a real chocolate taste. I make cookies with it and cakes as well. I also make hot chocolate with it and use it in my smoothie daily. Great product!

I would imagine that you could. I use it for my meringue cookies. A little goes a long way.

No you can't. This product is only for thin batters like for pancakes. I tried cake batter without success.

I don't see why not, as it is heat stable at high temps. And it doesn't have a strong flavor. However I personally use it for frying and sauting and prefer baking with butter, coconut oil, or Palm oil.
