high-fat
products
such as butter or margarine
(80% fat
by weight--the
federal
requirement
for products
labeled
"margarine")

if cakes,
pies,
pastries,
cookies,
or candies
are
made with low-fat spreads

spreads
contain
less fat and more
water

content
of
these spreads
affects
the texture
and
flavor of favorite
baked
