Very helpful for those who dip chocolates and do not have an enrober, the wire cake leveling tool. This was first repurposed as a chocolate dipping scrapping device by our own @Chris Hennes. For a photo tutorial, just follow the link
Works just as well and is so much cheaper than an official melter string scraper (http://www.pastrychef.com/CHOCOLATE-DIPPING-SCRAPING-WIRE-ATTACHMENT_p_2246.html).
This was indeed a genius idea! When I was making my dipping bowls I tried and tried to think of a smaller-scale (and less pricy) alternative, finally settling on silicone rubber bands to string across using the little knobs on the side of the bowl - and while that’s fine, I wasn’t totally happy with it. Happy to say, though, I recently figured it out! A little spool of stainless steel wire (bought on Amazon) wrapped around a bent length of slender threaded steel rod (bought at Lowes) makes a perfect substitute, at a total cost of considerably south of $2.
