Questions

What kind of chocolate does the chocolate fountain use?

Answer:  The chocolate fountain uses Premium Belgian Chocolate.  The chocolate we use contains a high content of cocoa butter.  The cocoa butter gives the chocolate a creamy smooth flavor and allows the chocolate to flow through the fountain more elegantly without using oil. The chocolate used produces a very rich chocolate aroma.

What other kind of fondues can the fountain use?

Answer:  We want to make your event as memorable as possible! Therefore we offer many other flavors to suit your needs, such as orange, strawberry, lemon, white satin, green mint, butterscotch and cheese fondues. Additional charges may apply.

How big is the chocolate fountain?

Answer:  We provide 4 sizes of the chocolate fountains. The mini is 18"  high and 11" in diameter feeding 50 people.  The small is 24" high and 12" in diameter feeding approximately 100 people. The medium is 34” high and 18.5” in diameter feeding up to 250 people. The tall fountain is 44" high and 18.5" in diameter feeding up to 350 people.

Who sets up, tears down, and cleans the chocolate fountain?

Answer:  We will do all of this.  We will arrive at your event approximately one hour prior to the starting time.  During this time the fountain will be set up, the chocolate will be melted and flowing down the tiers of the fountain so your guests can smell and taste the chocolate when they arrive.  We will tear down and clean the chocolate fountain when the time has ended that was arranged in the contract.

What items can be dipped in your chocolate fountain?

Answer:  The possibilities are practically endless.  We recommend strawberries, pineapple, grapes, cherries, rice krispie treats, dried fruit, melons, Oreo cookies, angel food cake, Nilla Wafers, potato chips, brownies, cheese cake squares, mint sticks, coconut macaroons, caramel squares, graham crackers, pirouette wafers, Nutter Butter cookies, shortbread cookies, biscotti, pretzels, marshmallows and cream puffs. Foods that crumble are not recommended because they will make the fountain run improperly.

Who provides the decorations that surround the chocolate fountain?

Answer:  While the chocolate fountain is the main decoration, we will also decorate around the fountain if you would like.  Let us know what color of decoration you would like around the fountain or if you have decoration you want us to use and we will accommodate your request.

How long do I get to keep the fountain at my event?

Answer:  Our rental package includes use of the chocolate fountain for 4 hours.  This usually allows plenty of time for receptions, special occasions, and business functions. The 4 hours running time plus set up, tear down, and clean up.  There is an additional charge of $50 for each hour (booked at time of contract signing) over the original 4 hours.

What type of table and electrical outlet are needed?

Answer:  You will need to have a covered, sturdy, & level table since most of the fountains weigh over 100 lbs. And if the table is not level the chocolate will not flow properly.  A 120 volt grounded electrical outlet is needed within 10 feet of the fountain set up location.

Who provides the dipping items?

Answer:  Many banquet facilities do not allow outside companies to bring food items.  These facilities usually offer these items for you to purchase.  If this is not the case, you may also have someone catering the rest of your food items and may want them to provide the dipping items. Or we may provide them at an additional charge, please ask for details. Our rental package does not include the dipping items.

Can the chocolate fountain be used at an outdoor event?

Answer:  No, the chocolate fountain can only be used indoors or in an enclosed area.  Insects are likely to become attracted to the fountain because of the wonderful smell of the chocolate.  Another reason we do not recommend the fountain be used outdoors is because maintaining the temperature of the chocolate is a crucial ingredient in keeping the chocolate flowing smoothly.

 What area do you serve?

Answer: We service the entire state of Illinois. We also service parts of Iowa, Missouri, and Indiana.
