Questions & Answers:
Do I have to set up, take down and clean the Chocolate Fountain?
At AAA Chocolate Fountains , we do all the work for you, so you can relax and enjoy your special event. Included with all of our Fountain Rentals is an on-site fountain attendant, who will set up the fountain, serve your guests, and ensure that everything runs smoothly with your event and the fountain.
How long can I have the Chocolate Fountain at my event?
Included with all of our Fountain Rentals is Three (3) hours of enjoyment of the Chocolate Fountain. This is more than enough time for most events; however, if you would like us to stay longer, we can always add additional time on an as-needed basis.
What dipping items can be used with the Fountain?
Some of our most popular dipping items include Straw- berries, Bananas, Marshmallows, Pretzels, Pound Cake, Butter Cookies, Dried Fruit...the possibilities are endless! See our "Order Form" for the full list.
Who provides the dipping items?
Many clients don't want the extra worry of having to bring their own dipping items. Because of this, AAA Chocolate Fountains can provide the Chocolate Fountain as well as the dipping items. You simply tell us which dipping items you'd like to have and we'll bring them. Also, we always bring more than enough, so you never have to worry about running out of a particular dipping item. However, if you would like to provide your own dipping items, that is fine too. And we will always take care of creating a beautiful display regardless of who provides the dipping items.
What are the table and electrical requirements for the Chocolate Fountain?
Since the Chocolate Fountains with chocolate and Food Dipping Items weigh almost 130 pounds when full, a level, sturdy table is a must. If it is not level, the chocolate will not flow properly. Your event location should provide two table linens that will coordinate with your color scheme. We will also bring our table cloths. The Chocolate Fountain requires a 120 volt grounded electrical outlet (a three-pronged plug) within 15 feet of the set-up location. What areas does AAA Chocolate Fountains service? AAA Chocolate Fountains provides fountains for events almost anywhere in Utah, southern Idaho, and southwest Wyoming.
Can the Chocolate Fountain be used outdoors?
You can with some precautions. (1) the outside temperature has to be warm (because the chocolate has to flow properly). The rule of thumb is - if people do not have to wear sweaters, the temperature is okay; (2) no wind can reach the fountain (because chocolate can lose its even flow and can splatter on people); (3) no critters can reach it (as they are drawn by the incredible aroma). If you have a way to enclose the fountain, that will work better.
Are reservations and a deposit required?
Yes, we require a reservation, a signed contract and a $100 deposit at the time of booking. Reservations are limited and are on a first come first serve basis. The balance of your payment is due at least 14 days prior to the scheduled date of
your event. Can I use the chocolate fountain in place of the wedding cake?
Many brides nationwide are choosing to move away from the norm - they are replacing their wedding cakes with chocolate fountains. Their guests have not been disapointed! Is chocolate nutritious?
The facts are laid out by the American Dietetic Association and National Center for Nutrition & Dietetics:
1) Chocolate contains oleic acid, which is beneficial to heart health. Oleic acid, a nonnsaturated fat also found in olive oil - the healthiest of all oils - makes up 1/3 of the fat in chocolate. True, it has some saturated fats, but not all types of saturated fats raise blood cholesterol levels. Stearic acid, which makes up 1/3 of the fat in chocolate, does not raise blood cholesterol levels. That leaves 1/3 of the fat in chocolate that does; but overall, the fat in chocolate is still much safer than the fat in most other treats. Putting things in perspective, chocolate contributes LESS than 2% of the fat in the average American diet. The main sources of fat are meat, dairy, and fried foods. 2) Does chocolate have antioxidents to improve health? It contains antioxidants called polyphenols, which are being studied for their potential health benefits. Chocolate comes from the "Theobroma cacao" tree, and thus has many of the same healthy compounds of other plants, including copper, zinc, iron, and magnesium. 3) Why is chocolate safer to use than some other treats for our dental health? Chocolate clears the mouth fairly quickly, reducing the time it spends in contact with the teeth. Does it cause cavities? No, cavities are caused by carbo- hydrates mixed with bacteria, which creates acid in the mouth. Chocolate, which contains carbohydrates, is no more or less responsible for cavities than any other carbohyrates - like bread, raisins, crackers, and fruit. 4) Is it true chocolate has very little caffine? Yes! An 8 oz. cup of hot cocoa contains only 6 mg of caffine. The same amount of cola beverages contain 25 to 31 mg of caffine, while the same amount of coffee contains 87 to 200 mg. 5) The greatest benefit of chocolate, of course, is the taste. The exciting smells and sight of a chocolate fountain at your event, coupled with our remarkable recipe, will leave your guests talking about your event for months! |
