Q: What is a chocolate fountain and what is the chocolate fountain used for?
A: First, it is a three-tiered stainless steel fountain that is filled with melted chocolate
that cascades down the tiers for you to dip items into, such as strawberries, bananas,
marshmallows, pineapple etc. The chocolate fountain can be used for any event you desire;
weddings, corporate events, banquets, bar mitzvahs, brunches, catered events, birthdays, showers, military
dinners, New Year's Eve and Christmas celebrations.
Q: What kind of chocolate works with the fountains?
A: Callebaut or Couverture chocolate is provided. Chocolate choices include:
semi-sweet Dark Belgian chocolate (this is most popular), Milk chocolate, and White
chocolate.
Q: Does the fountain use a pump?
A: No, our fountain uses a stainless steel auger. The auger draws the melted chocolate
to the top of the fountain where it then cascades over the tiers below.
Q: How much chocolate is required to run the fountain?
A: The small fountain will run on as little as 3 pounds of chocolate. The largest will run
on as little as 4 pounds of chocolate. The amount you actually need will depend on the
size of your event and the rate of consumption by your guests.
Q: How much chocolate will the fountain hold?
A: The large fountains will hold approximately 20 pounds of chocolate. The medium holds 10 pounds. The
small fountain holds a maximum of 6 pounds.
Q: What happens if someone drops something in the fountain such as a strawberry or
pineapple?
A: Don't fight with anybody to get it out, there is a gap at the bottom of the chocolate
tiers. This will hold the item behind the chocolate sheet until the event is over.
