Q. How does the chocolate fountain work?
The chocolate is warmed (and kept warm) in the basin. It is then carried to the top tier by an auger (screw thread) in the central column. When the top tier overflows, the chocolate falls down as a liquid curtain onto the next tier, which is slightly larger. This carries on until all of the tiers are covered in chocolate, presenting the guests with several "curtains" of chocolate into which they can dip their strawberries, marshmallows etc.
Q. How long does the chocolate last for?
10kg of chocolate should be enough for 200-300 guests. Additional chocolate can be added when required; we will discuss your individual requirements. The fountain itself will run for hours on end. There will be no problem about it lasting for the entire event as the fountain keeps the chocolate soft and at a constant temperature at all times.
Q. What do you provide?
We provide the fountain, chocolate, dips, serviettes, skewers and uniformed operators. We will of course discuss any further requirements.
Q. Is it okay to use the fountain outside?
No it is not recommended to use the fountain outside, although it can be used in a covered marquee. This is because the chocolate needs to remain at a constant temperature and it would attract flying insects if used outside.
Q. What do you need from us at the event?
We need a strong level table (round or rectangular), capable of supporting 80kg, a 13amp power supply (nearby), lighting sufficient for the immediate area, colour co-ordinated linen (if you require anything but chocolate brown) and sufficient time to set-up and dismantle the fountain and to clean up the area afterwards.
