1. What is a chocolate fountain?
The chocolate fountain used by Love at First Dip is a 3 and 4 tiered stainless steel machine. The delicious Belgian chocolates melt in the base of the chocolate then gently cascades over the tiers creating a stunning waterfall effect. Dipping items like strawberries, marshmallows, bananas, cookies, etc. are placed on a wooden dipping stick into the cascading chocolate for a scrumptiously sweet treat.
2. What kind of chocolate does the chocolate fountain use and what does it taste like? Love at First Dip uses only the finest Belgian Chocolate in our chocolate fountains. Belgian Chocolate is regarded as the finest chocolate in the world. We care about our reputation and have the highest standards when it comes to flavor and consistency in our chocolate. Whether you choose Dark, White or milk chocolate you'll get the same exquisite taste and aroma when you take that first dip into our Chocolate fountain.
3. What kind of items can be dipped in the Chocolate Fountain?
The list of dipping items is endless! You can dip strawberries, marshmallows, dried fruit, pretzels, cookies, biscotti, wafers, pineapple, kiwi, bananas, rice krispy treats are just some of the dipping delight you may choose from. The only guideline we give you is not to serve anything that will crumble when being dipped in the cascading chocolate.
4. Who provides the Dipping items?
You or your banquet facility can provide the dipping items. For an additional fee we can provide the dipping items. We only request that we review the dipping items to assure that they meet the fountain requirements.
