The Cocoa Tree

What is a chocolate fountain?

It is basically a 44 inch tall chocolate fondue fountain. The base of the fountain houses a heating element where a reservoir of 10kg of chocolate is gently warmed up. Once melted, the warm chocolate is drawn up through the centre to the top of the fountain where it then cascades over the tiers and down into the base, completely covering the 4 tiers and creating sheets of warm flowing chocolate, ready to dip into.

Will a Chocolate Fountain be suitable for my event?

Yes! A chocolate fountain is the latest must-have centre-piece. As long as your event is indoors (marquee acceptable), a chocolate fountain will be suitable. We cater for bridal / baby showers, parties, weddings, graduation balls, charity & corporate events, exhibitions etc..

What is included?

A Chocolatier/Associate will be present to set up the machinery and assist you and your guests throughout your event. We also supply 10kg of chocolate in your choice of flavours (Milk, White, Plain, Orange, Caramel, Strawberry, Lemon, Cappuccino, Hazelnut Milk Choc, Honey Milk Choc), unlimited selection of dips of your choice, skewers, napkins (available in a variety of colours). We also supply fresh flowers to match your own choice of flowers and colours.

Can I use my own dipping foods?

Yes, but there are foods that are not suitable (ie. crumbly biscuits). We can advise on what is best suited.

What will I need to supply?

The machine and chocolate will weigh approximately 45kg. we will therefore require a sturdy table, approximately 4ft in diameter with access to a standard 13 amp socket. Your venue will assist you with this. Please feel free to provide table cloth /covering to suit your colour scheme. Please note that serving plates are not supplied as standard. Your choice of venue may be able to accommodate should you require plates instead of napkins.

How long will a Chocolate Fountain Last?

Depending on how many guests you have, it will last indefinitely as the chocolate depletes, we will continue to top up the fountain to ensure a smooth flow during your event. We will arrive an hour prior to you requiring the fountain to enable us to set up the machinery, chocolate & dips.

How soon do I need to book?
