ReplyDeleteis the shortening you used butter or oil?
ReplyDeleteHi Ria,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the late reply. Just found out your comment! Shortening is vegetarian lard(in butter form). Thank you for stopping by and hope to hear from you often. Cheers.
Thanks for the reply back. They really are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm very impressed. You're an amazing baker.
ReplyDeleteHi, can I use oil instead of shortening? Thank you
ReplyDeleteMay I know the brand of vegetarian lard that you used. Also where can I purchase it? Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thanks for stopping by to my humble little space. And to your question, you can get those shortening at any bakery shop retailer or supermarket if you're living around the region. Otherwise, you have to shop at the site... CRISCO shortening.
Hope this will help.
Blessings, Kristy
