THE FOUNTAIN OF CHOCOLATE
is a 30” tall fountain display that is literally a warm
flowing fountain of fine quality semi sweet chocolate. Hold
your favorite food such as fruit, pretzels, cookies or marshmallows,
under the warm, cascading “chocolate falls”. Have
fun as it flows over your bite-size whatever. Not messy, no
splash, Just absolutely delicious! Some say “decadent”.
The Fountain of Chocolate is also beautifully decorated
to match or compliment the colors of the gathering or event.
We
take pride in offering a fine quality, semi-sweet chocolate.
Offering one of the finest American made chocolates available,
with no preservatives, chemicals, or artificial anything is
the reason we use the term “fine quality”. There
is a difference in chocolates; and ours is truly deliciously,
smooth, and creamy.
For the unique or special occasion, we do offer “white
chocolate” as well, a great idea for weddings and anniversaries.
A
professional and courteous host and/or hostess, dressed for
the occasion accompanies the fountain.
In a respectful manner, we assist the guests and add a bit
of “personality” to the Fountain of Chocolate
experience. We also help maintain the table, notifying the
proper personnel when foods, napkins, plates, etc. are being
depleted. The attendants will also help keep the table area
clean as well as making sure the Fountain runs smoothly at
all times.
Food for the Fountain, we recommend: Cherries, Graham Crackers, Cookies, Pinapple, Apples, Pretzels, Strawberries, Marshmallows, Cheesecake Balls, or Bananas. The client is responsible for providing the food; however,
we would be happy to offer ideas regarding food options, quantities
per number of guests, and other helpful hints.
The
requested time of serving is the
actual time of serving your guests. We do however; require
access to the serving area a minimum of one hour prior to
the “serving time”. We also require approximately
45 minutes to disassemble and remove our equipment.
