How does The Fabulous Fountain
work?
Imagine a fountain, where premium Belgian Callebaut chocolate is
melted from the base, and is carried to the top…where a flowing curtain of delicious,
warm chocolate cascades in tiers, presenting your guests with the tantalizing
aroma of chocolate filling the air. Your guests will have the pleasure of dipping
strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, dried fruit, cookies, candies, and the
like, resulting in exquisite chocolate covered delicacies! The Fabulous Fountain
brings a touch of elegance and distinctiveness to any event. Without question,
The Fabulous Fountain is the ultimate dessert; one your guests will never forget…as
they always remember YOU!
What makes “The Fabulous Fountain” different from the
others?
After months of researching the various fountains in the market today, Fabulous
Frozens chose to partner with Sephra, the premier fountain in the industry.
Unlike many other chocolate fountain manufacturers, Sephra is dedicated to
improving the quality and features of the chocolate fountains, and is proud
to be the standard that other fountain manufacturers are trying to match. In
fact, Sephra has several features and improvements that are actually patent
pending! No other company can match the quality of the Sephra Chocolate Fountains,
and Fabulous Frozens is proud to be partnering with this innovative industry
leader.

What flavors of chocolate do you have?
Fabulous Frozens Premium Fondue Chocolate by CALLEBAUT is specially designed
to give you the smoothest, richest, and most beautiful chocolate fondue
you can imagine.
In order for the Chocolate Fountain to flow correctly, the chocolate
must be at a certain consistency. Fabulous Frozens’ Premium Fondue
chocolate is specially formulated to provide flawless cascading fondue
chocolate
right out
of the package, WITHOUT the addition of vegetable oil or extra cocoa
butter. (Required for MOST other chocolates!)
Fabulous Frozens’ Premium Fondue Chocolate comes in DARK Belgium
Chocolate and WHITE Chocolate.
How many people does The Fabulous Fountain serve?
Your Chocolate Fountain rental includes up to 20 pounds of Callebaut Belgian
chocolate, as well as dipping items. An infinite amount of people can be
served if additional chocolate is periodically added. As a guideline, 20
pounds of chocolate
will serve approximately 200-250 guests; unless of course, they become
choco-holics due to the exquisite flavor of the Chocolate!
What are the table & electrical requirements?
Since the chocolate fountain weighs approximately 40 pounds when full,
a level, sturdy table is a must. If the table is not level, the chocolate
will
not flow
properly. To best accommodate your fountain and dipping items, a 3’ x 6’ area
is sufficient. (The Fountain alone w/out dipping items uses a space of approx.
2’ x 2’). The Fountain runs on a standard, 120 volt power
outlet.
Can I use The Fabulous Fountain outside?
NO. In many instances, the fountains will not function correctly outside.
In order for the chocolate to flow smoothly over the tiers, it must maintain
a certain
temperature. At times of the year when there are cool breezes or the temperature
is somewhat cold, the fountain functionality may be affected.
Another deterrent to outside fountain use may be the presence of chocolate
craving insects - which dramatically decrease guest satisfaction! Wind
and even slight
breezes can also cause disasters when the chocolate fountain is run outside.
Because of the thin, flowing curtain of chocolate, even a small breeze
can cover more than just the dipping items in chocolate!
