Chocolate fountain

We knew we were out of the loop when we realized we've never come across what the LA Times calls the must-have party good of the summer, why, the molten chocolate flowing fountain, of course. At only 3 feet tall, it looks like an item Willie Wonka might relegate to the oompaloompa quarters, but the glitterati seem to like it since every premiere, convention and celebration has gotten one in the past couple of months. For $400-$700 you can have 180-degree molten chocolate continuously cascade from the top, while 300 of your closest friends cautiously poke pretzels and strawberies into the coco-flow. OK so maybe we're a little bitter, but somehow this doesn't hold up to the chocolate river.

My friend had one at his younger sister's graduation party and it was the bomb diggity. Anything tastes 10 times better once its been dipped in this thing.

They have one of these at the Hyatt in Singapore for the sunday brunch. However, during the week, it's kept in the honeymoon suite. Or should I say, sweeeet!

Chocolate fountains are for kids (and of course, tacky weddings). Real chocolate lovers will go to this place:

Bah! Here in Anchorage there is a chocolate shop that has a chocolatefall containing 3,400 pounds of melted chocolate that cascade from 20 feet in the air. Still not as cool as Wonka but better than a fountain.

[Richard @ Dec 19th 2005 1:57AM]

When I saw it at one of the wedding's show I knew I had to get it and yes the hall had that option. Would it be okay if I just put my whole face in that fountain?

[Belgand @ Dec 19th 2005 1:57AM]

A friend had one at a wedding this past spring and quite frankly I don't see what the fuss is about. I mean, it's really not that interesting or good. Personally I would have much rather had cake instead.

[Andy @ Dec 19th 2005 1:57AM]

... the big ones are real eyecatchers for large events and there are even much smaller ones for groups of up to about 50 people!

They are the most popular thing for all sorts of parties - just give us a call in Australia - 1300 652 712 !

And remember, Liquid Chocolate tastes better!

Yummy! I just used these guys for my daughter's wedding in the UK. They were GREAT! They showed up prior to the start of the wedding, set the chocolate fountain kept it running so every could see it but not eat. Then after the evening meal we let the guests enjoy the yummy chocolate. http://choc-fountain.co.uk ran the chocolate fountain in their smart uniforms and were really nice,friendly and professional. At the end of the evening they cleaned up and left. No fuss! I must advise anyone who wants that WOW factor to call these guys they were brilliant! Best thing is they travel all over the UK!!

[Monica Robson @ Dec 19th 2005 1:57AM]

I was not sure what to expect when I booked one for my daughters wedding, but I was very very pleased!
I used a great company called chocolate @ organza and they were perfect! www.organzaevents.com
The chocolate tastes so good and I have had many positive comments since, my daughter loved the day and her new husband were very happy with the whole wedding day!
Another tip - the company recommended that they use profiteroles as a dip, I was not sure, but boy I am glad that they used them! They tasted great!!!
I chose milk chocolate and it went down a storm!!

We also used www.choc-fountain.co.uk for a product launch recently. They were brilliant and very professional! They also suggested the profiteroles, which were delicious. Our customers were really impressed. We knew what to expect because prior to the product launch they called us to find out exactly what our requirements were.

We will be using www.choc-fountain.co.uk for our Christmas party and would recommend them to anyone! Especially as there are so many companies that offer the chocolate fountain in the UK now. Well-done www.choc-fountain.co.uk!

[Tamara Singer @ Dec 19th 2005 1:57AM]

Hi,

I came across this site whilst searching for information to buy some more chocolate that I tasted recently. I attended a pre Mobo award party in London and I was lucky enough to see a chocolate fountain, I have heard about it before but never tried it. I see that everyone has their favourite supplier in the UK, so I have to also add my praise for
http://www.organzaevents.com
Chocolate @ Organza. The guy that was in charge of the machine was great! He spent time talking to everyone and insisted that I tried all the dips available! He even put together fresh fruit kebabs for everyone to try.
They are also mentioned in Ok magazine, so if you are looking for a professional chocolate fountain company, give them a call!
If you are reading this Glen, send me some chocolate! You have my business card!!

[Angela @ Dec 19th 2005 1:57AM]

We just got married and used http://chocci-fountain.com. They were totaly amazing! They showed up on time as arranged, set up and ran the choc fountain all night long. Our guests are still talking about how good they were and very professional everyone was really impressed to say the least.

They even sell small chocolate fountain for the house! Can't wait to get one, I'm sure Santa has one for me, if not I can always get one from they guys @ Chocci Fountain, LOL.
