Have you ever thought about making simple chocolate decorations on cakes to make them more beautiful and attractive to customers? Decoration in the form of chocolate curls can be one solution.

Chocolate lovers must already know that one of the applications of chocolate is shaving so that it can be used to make chocolate curls that can be applied as decorations or garnishes on cakes and drinks, for example on Black Forest Cake. Chocolate curls are a relatively easy chocolate decoration to make because they don't require a lot of tools and don't take much time.

Elmer Chocolate provides two tips for making chocolate curls no-fuss. Come on!

Chocolate Curls made with a chocolate peeler or fruit peeler

The first way is to use a fruit peeler or chocolate peeler. Elmer Lovers just prepare Elmer Compound Dark, White, Tropical Rhapsody or Vista Festival and peeler. Shave the chocolate from the sides, then do a slashing motion from front to back. Repeat until there are enough chocolate curls.

Chocolate Curls made with a spatula

The second way is to use a spatula to make chocolate curls. Apply pressure to the spatula to grate the chocolate. Elmer Lovers need to grate the chocolate from front to back on both the surface and the sides of the chocolate to get what you want.

To make good chocolate curls, of course, you need quality chocolate because each chocolate can give different results. Therefore, Elmer Chocolate recommends using Elmer Compound Dark Classic which can be purchased at the Baking Ingredients Store, or the Elmer Official Online Shop.
