Attention, All Members in China - I Need Ingredient Help!

Already sent u email. Plz check it.

Awesome, Poppy! Thanks so much! I did send them a detailed materials and ingredient list with links to the products I use (which can't be substituted) on US sites. I just wanted to facilitate their process of finding them in China by giving them Chinese links/sources when possible, so this is a great help!

Dear Julia，

The relatively good quality local brand powdered sugar is Taikoo（blue carton box），but it's can not be used for detailed piping（may plug even PME no.1:（

We do have molasses and shortening but I don't think they are taste as same as grandma 's and Crisco.

As the western baking and decoration is quite different with ours，most of the ingredients are imported and normally there are no local substitutes. If you give a list to your workshop they can find the ingredients easily online. C&H powdered sugar ，Grandma's molasses and Crisco，all can be found on Taobao（which is like Ebay in US）.

P.S. We ge t used to buying these stuff online instead of in supermarket：）

Thanks SO much! This is very consistent with what Poppy and some others have told me through email, so I am greatly reassured to know we can easily find these things. (It hasn't been the case in some other countries.) Thanks again!

Hello, can you please tell us what icing recipe you ended up using in China including the ingredients.  My Taikoo icing keep plugging when I do detailed work. Thank you so much!

My hosts ended up getting C&H powdered sugar (the brand I use in the US) through TaoBao.

I see! Thank you for letting me know!!

Yes, it was SO great that they came to my rescue . . . but this post is one year old! I've already been to China twice to teach and am headed back in a few months!
