Ok, so I went to the Home Depot to buy a " bench scraper" to smooth the buttercream. They looked at me like I was speaking a different language. Do I have the name correct?

I know that the bench scraper that I use for icing I got from a culinary store. You should be able to find one at any place that specializes in stuff like that.

Thanks, thats where I was going to go, but I read somewhere that I could also get one at a hardware store.



That's funny. When i went on the search for mine at bed.bath & beyond and told them what I was looking for they were like WHAT...well it is actually a chopper it's stainless steel and the handle is rolled. I found it in the utensil section. It was like $5.99 and hanging on the end of a rack.
It works great with smoothing...good luck finding it...

Go to your Williams Sonoma or Bed, Bath 'n Beyond....some place like that. They'll know what you're talking about!

Thats true. I got mine from Williams-Sonoma. I think its called a dough scraper (or something like that).
HTH

I found the same one at Target


I think the one you can get at Home Depot is used to spackle walls.

Thats exactly what I was looking for and described to the 2 guys and 1 woman. lol. i did see all of the paint scrapers and masonry tools and grout tools. I will head to BB&B tonight. Thanks



It really is called a bench scraper in the biz. The worktable that a pastry chef works at is called "the bench." You periodically need to scrape dough off the bench, hence you use a "bench scraper."
Just like the flour you use to dust the bench before kneading dough is called "bench flour." It's just flour - on the bench.
