We use the very best Belgian chocolate, the favorites being milk, white and dark chocolate, but was can also use flavoured chocolate to your preference (e.g. orange, strawberry, cappuccino etc).
5. How does the chocolate get to the top of the Fountain?
Inside the Fountain is a specially made stainless steel corkscrew, which rotates and brings the chocolate from the base to the opening at the top of the Fountain, and then it overflows back down to the basin.
6. How long can the Chocolate Fountain be run for?
As long as we want!!! The Chocolate Fountain acts as a tempering / heating unit the machine which keeps the chocolate at a constant temperature so the chocolate never hardens. It can run forever, but the chocolate fountain can get depleted once the dipping starts, so we provide a continuous top up service to ensure your fountain really is a forever flow of chocolate.
7. How many people does each fountain serve?
Our large Chocolate Fountain serves between 50 – 500 people bearing in mind that more chocolate can be added during the event.
8. What can you dip in the Chocolate Fountain?
Strawberries, marshmallows, profiteroles, orange pieces and miniature doughnuts are the favourite, but you can choose from a whole host of dips including cherries, kiwi, pineapple, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, dairy fudge…, actually anything edible that goes with chocolate, however, we strongly advise against anything crumbly or that easily slides of skewers for the sake of the consistent flow of the chocolate.
9. Can the Chocolate Fountain be used outside?
The Fountain can only be operated in enclosed areas. This is for two reasons. Firstly because the chocolate has such a delicious aroma that it will very easily attract flying insects. Secondly the chocolate needs to be kept warm at all times - this can be difficult if there is a breeze of some sort.
10. How messy will the fountain be afterwards?
Once your event has concluded, we will discreetly dismantle the chocolate fountain and take care of the cleaning behind the scenes, so not to distract you and your guests from having fun! It’s all hassle free for you.
