I have had bad batches of Satin Ice before… but it sounds to me like, whoever re-packaged it for you left it out too long! It’s not usually so dry. I do remember that I tried their “buttercream” flavor, several times, and each time it cracked rally badly… so when i buy it, I only get the “vanilla” flavors.
I purchase the CMTT from L’Epicerie, the link that I provided above. They are located near enough to me, that it ships very quickly.
When I buy Satin Ice, I buy it from Global Sugar Art…
