To have a chocolate fountain at your
wedding would be the ultimate indulgence for a chocolate lover.
A chocolate fountain is essentially a
fondue of cascading chocolate. Skewered fruits, sweets and pastries
are then dipped into the melted warm chocolate and then eaten. The
fountain comes in three different sizes small, medium and large.
Fountains have become very popular at
weddings they provide a mouthwatering focal point for guests to
gather around and break the ice. If you are having a chocolate
fountain be sure to use good quality Belgian chocolate.
You could also have a drinks fountain.
Guest are then able to help themselves to popular drinks such as
cocktails, champagne, wine and sangria.
The fountain is filled at the base and
then the fountain is switched on. The beverage is pumped from the
lower bowl to the top tier where it is allowed to overflow and
cascade down to the next tier and lower tiers. What your guests will
see in effect is a beautifully illuminated waterfall. This will
entice your guests to want to fill their own glasses and have a
drink. Fruits can then be added to the base to enhance the display.
Chocolate and drinks fountains can
either be bought or hired. If you decide to hire then you also have
the option of either having trained staff to service to your guests
or allow your guests to self service.
