<description>Were always on the hunt for new and exciting dipping options.  One that normally causes a few comments is our mild cheddar cheese.  You either love it or hate it.  Alis kebab was another combination with silverskin onion...But this one was a first for us thanks to Darren and Darren...Little Darren started off with a chocolate topped samosa which was in fact not that bad...and then quickly moved on to an onion bharji...which was absolutely revolting.... Big Darren not wanting to feel left out decided a portion of chocolate pork pie might be in order....ewwwwww....  Hmmm...not sure wed get many bookings for pork pie or bharji dips somehow.Thanks to Yvonne for the booking  what a great night and one to be rememberedHeres Darren and Darren in action..</description>

All our clients are contacted by us following their parties sharing a link to the photos that weve managed to take...these are our snaps and not professional but they certainly manage to capture the fun around the fountain and are a nice keepsake.

<description>Two weddings for us on Saturday such a relief the weather was great for a changeTania headed down to Wiltshire to look after Jackie and Andrew at Cricklade House.  Jackie had booked us for a combination of fruit palm tree candy buffet and chocolate fountain.  The day was split so that the candy and fruit was available before the wedding breakfast and the chocolate fountain was started for the evening reception.  It was around 11 hours on site at Cricklade but everything ran like clockwork.  A massive bonus that they have such stunning scenery and a lovely spot off the terrace where Tania and Teresa were able to sit out with a coke in between set ups... Thanks to Jackie for the booking and our congratulations to you both.Eddy meanwhile was out at the Tamworth Moat House for Haze and Richards wedding day.  Haze had some problems with the initial planning stage having to change the hotel the date and then the numbers...but it was absolutely not a problem and we sorted everything at our en...</description>

<description>Its been a few busy weeks for us with lots happening weddings christenings and birthdays so here are a few more congratulations..Firstly to Rich and Janice who held their reception at The Lower Lode Inn at Tewkesbury.  Fortunately the weather stayed dry and we had a fantastic time taking a chocolate fountain package for the guests and followed a lovely pastel blue colour scheme.  The hall was absolutely transformed using satin sheeting on the ceiling to give it a wonderful marquee effect...I imagine it must have been such a lot of hard work decorating the hall but it was most definitely worth it  it looked really wonderful.  There was a gorgeous border collie as a guest complete with a dickie bow giving Eddy a run for his money in style stakes...such a fun day and a very nice couple to work with.

<title>Something blue..</title>
<link>http://www.fantasticchocolatefountains.co.uk/page24.htm#98260</link>
<description>We had a lovely christening on Sunday...Laura Julie and Rob wanted to do something just that little bit different and decided to try our coloured white chocolate fountain for their boys christening party.
We can colour white chocolate by using a candy colouring which doesnt taint the flavour of the chocolate at all.  We produced a gorgeous baby blue fountain and finished the theme by popping a blue teddy on the top of the fountain.  Im normally a milk chocolate fan but must admit after trying the white chocolate Im now undecided  it was that good.  Barry Callebaut white chocolate is really lovely and Im just hoping that we will get more bookings on the white chocolate  its definitely worth a go if youre considering it.
We also took along our champagne swan in which we sank the boys names and also popped in a Liverpool FC logo to keep grandad happy...it really was a lovely afternoon.
Thanks to Laura and her family who were all so lovely and kept us stocked up on the buffet and a coup...</description>

They had asked us to provide our champagne swans as their table centres which we decorated with pale pink organza roses gysophila and pale pink table crystals.  We popped bottles of white wine for the table in between the wings and uplighted the sculptures with pink and white lighting.  They looked absolutely stunning.  We popped back later to empty the drip trays and then after the wedding breakfast was finished moved the sculptures outside...there was a row of 9 swans lined up...Ed said it looked like Slimbridge.What a partyWe provided our retro candy buffet and put a lovely picture of Sam amp Craig on the table just to personalise it.  We also set up our large 4ft fruit palm tree which came with rapsberry and mango coulis and fresh cream.To top it off we also took our large 44 chocolate fountain and carried the pale pink theme again with roses and gysophia.The guests didnt know what to go for first a...</description>

Whilst Tania was at the WCCC Eddy took another fountain package to tempt the guests at the Kings Court.  He based the fountain surround on a black and ivory theme this is becoming a really popular wedding colour scheme for this year and is such a good contrast.  Eddy said it was a great wedding and a really busy night at the fountain which proved to be very popular with everyone.  There was also a Soul band performing for the guests and Eddy said they were brilliant.  It was another really great night  weve been so lucky with our bookings to have such nice clients and customers.Here are a few pictures from Gemma amp Duncans special day...</description>

Im pleased to say it went down an absolute storm as there was something for everyone.Nicky had named her tables after the sweets she had chosen for her candy buffet and it worked so well.  People were so surprized when the found the candy table and the sweets that their table was named after...what a brilliant touchThe fruit palm was devoured...we supplied a strawberry and butterscotch sauce to accompany the tree and this made a nice alternative to the sweets.A little later into the evening we started our chocolate fountain which was decorated in lipstick pink and ivory roses and gypsophila.  We also used cut glass around the display which I think just adds a little bit extra for a special day.Nicky amp Sean had a fabulous day and also booked a bouncy castle for the kids to burn off all the sugar and also lovel...</description>

<description>We were at Highbury Hall on Sunday providing our 4ft chocolate fountain for Shabnas wedding.  Were really pleased that we have managed to source some great halal marshmallows from a local supplier in Worcester and I must say that they tasted really good
Shabna had chosen halal dips and a very elegant surround using white crockery roses and lillies and introducing a very subtle pale pink.  We didnt provide a topper on request and arrived just a little earlier than originally anticipated to fit in with the room change over plans.
Im pleased to say it all went like clockwork and we had a fab day.  As youll see from the gallery Shabna looked absolutely beautiful.

This weekend weve prepared a large 5.5ft simply both palm tree to Paul for his wedding reception at the Worcestershire County Cricket Club.  Paul tied the knot in Mauritius and held a reception for family and friends at the Cricket Club.  To keep the theme we provided our 5.5ft fruit palm but used the top couple of tiers to pin sweets.  We decorated his surround with some conch shells compliments of a holiday to Jamaica and used sweet filled fresh coconuts on his display and scattered with Love Hearts.Weve also taken a 4ft fresh fruit palm tree and fresh fruit platters to Sophia at the Desi Nawab in Alum Rock for her wedding.  We decorated Sophias palm with fresh fruit melon carvings and aqua organza.  The hall was simply stunning with a fabulous mehndi stage and over 400 guests.

<title>Congratulations Naomi and Phil at WCCC</title>
<link>http://www.fantasticchocolatefountains.co.uk/page24.htm#94076</link>
<description>Saturday saw us taking our 44 chocolate fountain package along to the marquee at the Worcestershire County Cricket Club.  Naomi had booked us well in advance last year for her wedding reception and chose a very pale pink colour scheme for her special day.  We decorated her display with antique cut glass pale pink organza and used fresh pale pink roses and gysophilia.  We also took along our lotus flower ice sculpture.
Thanks as always to Steve and the team at the Club.  We have 8 weddings booked in so far this year at the Cricket Club and must say we always have such a great time as we know so many of the staff.
This was a lovely wedding and Phil said the weather managed to stay fine to get some great photos on the pitch.  It was a bit blustery during the evening but with the chocolate fountain hog roast bar and DJ noone was bothered at all
Tania amp Ben were delighted to look after Naomi Phil and their guests meanwhile Eddy was about and about in Kidderminster for a 40th birthday p...</description>

<title>Congratulations Lisa  Simon The Holiday Inn Gloucester</title>
<link>http://www.fantasticchocolatefountains.co.uk/page24.htm#94072</link>
<description>Friday night we were off to Gloucester for Lisas wedding.  Having spent a good 15 minutes driving around in circles around Gloucester we decided to ditched the Sat Nav and found the venue.
Lisa has chosen a lovely hunter green colour theme for her fountain and this is one colour we havent done many events with.  Its such a good choice if using fresh flowers as the foilage sits perfectly with the colour and looks very natural and fresh.
We had a mini competition with some of the kids for them to make a dip display on their plates which was great fun how high can you build a marshmallow fudge strawberry tower
A big welcome to Teresa who is now part of our Fantastic team.  Tania and Teresa go back at least 20 years so when the 80s hits started to play they couldnt help jigging about a bit  a lot of fun
Thanks to the staff at The Holiday who made our job easy and their luggage trolleys came in very handy for moving equipment
Hope Lisa and Simon have a great time in Mexico

<description>Congratulations to Summer who booked us to cater for 250 guests at her reception at The Copthorne Hotel Merry Hill.  Summer had given us a cadbury purple and gold theme to work from.What we did is create a lovely contemporary fountain topper which stood at an impressive 14 on its own.  We think these toppers really do finish off a fountain....they look bare without one now to us We decorated the surround using a gold satin table cloth with a gold crystal fringe to edge the table a cadbury purple table runner and used gold petals purple organza and flowers on the surround.  We used our cut glass bowls which are lovely and finished it all off by providing an ice pillar in which we suspended two purple flowers.  Summer chose a totally vegetarian menu which worked beautifully.  All our fruits are kept in cool boxes so are completely fresh when they go out onto our display.  The Belgian chocolate we use is also suitable for vegetarians so this was absolutely no problem at all.  Its worth no...</description>

<description>Friday was the wedding day of Vicky amp Andy who held their reception at the lovely Aylestone Court Hotel in Hereford.  Vicky contacted us after her original supplier disappeared without a trace so we were more than happy to step in.
Vicky chose our 36 fountain table top fruit palm and champagne swan which we decorated to tie into her midnight blue and ivory colour scheme.
We had a real giggle at this event especially when Eddy had a wardrobe malfunction and his shirt popped out to his waist  I said he looked like Tom Jones to which he quickly replied its not unusual.  Oh dear...you really needed to be there  
Thanks to the staff at the Aylestone Court Hotel who made us so welcome and to Vicky amp Andy and their families and friends  a really lovely group of people and a lot of fun
We took quite a few photos and heres a few that I couldnt resist sharing...priceless  This is what its all about

<description>Our last wedding for 2010 was a reception in the marquee at Nailcote Hall for Nigel and Sarahs wedding day.  It certainly was memorable.
They chose a theme of winter wonderland and completely transformed the marquee.  Each table had huge crystal candleabras there were giant snowflakes suspended from the ceiling snow coated pine trees a snowman reindeer plus a sleigh and presents sparkling silver trees and a spruce wreath for the buffet table and topped off with a fabulous star cloth ceiling.  Add to this candles uplighting and fairy lights and it provides one beautiful setting.
Nigel and Sarah are such a lovely couple to deal with and we wish them many congratulations and a well done for creating such a beautiful marquee.
So with no rest for the wicked weve said goodbye to a great 2010 and are now planning our first booking on 2011 being this Friday....its going to be a busy year

Today we had a really great time exhibiting at the Pear Tree Wedding Fayre.  It was such a dismal day we wondered whether it would be a complete washout...fortunately it was anything but
We took along our 53 chocolate fountain with topper a 2.5ft fruit palm giant sweet filled martini glass and swan ice sculpture.  Somehow we managed to fit this all onto a 5ft round table...
We met so many people and tempted more than a few off their diets  The staff at the Pear Tree were absolutely great too keeping us supplied with coffee and providing hot pork rolls which was a welcome change from chocolate
 
The some of the younger girls from the fashion show took away bags full of sweets from our giant martini glass and the fruit palm kept those with not such a sweet tooth happy.  The chocolate as always was a huge hit and we tried a few new dips being millionaire shortbread and yum yums...definitely a couple of dips worth adding to our list  delicious

Its really great to see two cultures coming together and having an absolutely fantastic time.  Unfortunately I didnt get the name of the caterers which is a shame as they were excellent too  so my apologies I hate to admit it but I was too busy eating 
Thanks to Jot and Damon for providing us with a lovely meal and being such great people.  A Sunday lunch is definitely not needed today....but the diet will start tomorrow maybe....

<title>Wedding Fayre and Worcestershire County Cricket Club...</title>
<link>http://www.fantasticchocolatefountains.co.uk/page24.htm#72921</link>
<description>Today we exhibited at the 2nd Worcestershire County Cricket Club Wedding Fayre...
Rather than taking ice as we did last year we decided to display our Candy Buffet table the Whopper Fountain 53 Chocolate fountain and our medium fruit palm tree.  Eddy isnt just 5ft tall the Whopper really is that big  Eddy is in fact 5ft 10....its a bit of a monster fountain
We had such a fantastic day and didnt stop from the time we arrived until it was time to pack up.  Thanks to everyone who paid us a visit and sampled our sweets chocolate and fruit palm.  Thanks also for all the lovely comments on our displays  its days like this that really makes it all so worthwhile   
I was really pleased to meet Vicky and Leanne whose weddings we will be doing in the future also to Chris who paid a deposit on the spot nice one Chris
I would just like to mention that we do not use oil in our fountains as suggested by a competitor today and at which we felt quite insulted.  We use the finest Belgian coverture ...</description>

<description>We had a big wedding on Saturday for Clare amp Mark who held their reception at The Coppertops in Worcester.
Clare had decided on a theme of gold and ivory and we provided a beautiful ice column with gold butterflies inside so it looked as if they were fluttering up inside the column.  We also took along a 4ft chocolate fountain with a selection of 10 dips and topped it off with a traditional Bride amp Groom topper.  Despite the weather being so warm the ice column lasted from 3pm and was still going strong at 11.30pm when we left...there were a few little girls waiting to pull out the butterflies so I hope someone got one in the end
The day was made extra special as Clare is my cousins daughter so it was a real honour to do something special for the family.  I had a great time having a boogie with my Aunty Arlene who I hadnt seen for a long time  another perfect day

<description>Congratulations to Caroline and Grant who held their reception in the Walnut Suite at Coombe Abbey in Coventry.
I must admit that we did have particular fun planning for this wedding as we were asked to following a Scottish theme.  We found a fabulous fountain topper being a glass thistle which we placed on top the fountain.  We did spend a couple of weekends looking for wild thistles for the displays but must admit English thistles are not as impressive as Scottish
Thanks to Wayne and his team at Coombe Abbey for being such a great help.  Looking forward to seeing you again soon

Many congratulations to Clare and Simon  They had picked a lilac and purple colour scheme which was absolutely lovely.  The reception was held at the Worcestershire County Cricket Club.  What an absolutely beautiful day for a wedding.  It was such a humid night but all the doors were open in the Graeme Hick pavillion with a backdrop of a lit Worcester Cathedral at night.  It really is a stunning venue.
Thanks as ever to Nicci and the staff at WCCC for being so helpful and a great bunch of people too.

<description>Last night saw us at Sally amp Wills wedding.  This had the real wow factor
Sally amp Will held their reception in a barn at Netherton.  3 months ago they were lambing in here and last night the transformation was magical.  Special machinery had been hired in to clear the barn all the walls were painted and then the decoration started.  Sally had made a gorgeous willowhazel arch entrance to the barn covered in fairy lights and organza.  There were masses of hanging baskets and pots of lavender and colour coordinated flowers.  Every beam inside had fairylights painstakingly attached so the roof lit up in the evening.  Add balloons and balloon arches  and wow  
Supper was a fabulous hog roast then add a mobile bar www.mobilebarforhire.com  a disco and topped off by our chocolate fountain.  What a night
Special thanks to Claire for the booking and well done to the family in pulling together to make a truly memorable wedding day.

<description>Wroxhall Abbey was the venue for Warwick Medical Schools Graduation Ball set in an impressive marquee alonside the Chapel on the Wroxhall Abbey Estate.
Guests entered the marquee through an enormous balloon arch to collect their glass of Pimms served from our Champagne Fountain.  Sat alongside the fountain was a lotus ice sculpture filled ripe chilled strawberries.
We took along our 44 chocolate fountain and 5.5ft Giant Fruit Palm tree.  To accompany the fruits on the palm tree we provided a sharp raspberry coulis and a sticky toffee sauce which by the way is fab on profiteroles
The organising committee really did a great job in providing a great live band disco fireworks garden jenga and to Wii Fit screens.  It was definitely a fantastic way to celebrate a well deserved graduation
Thanks to Angela and the WMS Organising Committee  we thoroughly enjoyed the Ball and met some great people.  Also thanks to the staff at Wroxhall Abbey who were extremely helpful to us.

Sunday saw us off to Ashas Restaurant Birmingham to provide a fountain for Smeena amp Imrans wedding reception.  We arranged for the happy couple to turn on their fountain.  We followed a deep red colour theme and decorated the fountain surround with maroon orchids sweet williams and finished the fountain off with a topper decorated with deep red grass maraboo feathers and organza.
Thanks to Sam and Imran for booking us and also to the staff at Ashas especially for the most wonderful take away they provided for us with their compliments.  Ashas is a wonderful contemporary restaurant which now boasts its own civil licence.  If youre in the area and love Indian cuisine its a must and absolutely delicious

<description>We are relieved to say that we have managed to find another van to join our small but expanding fleet.  
We have kept the last two weekends free to find an additional vehicle and do all the things necessary to bring it up to scratch to transport our fountains and palm trees.  Thankfully its all gone like clockwork and the only thing left to do now is the signwriting.  We will have to attack this after the wedding season as weve now simply run out of time and have very few spare weekends left until November.

<description>After a long cold winter I was most relieved to see that the UKs first strawberries are starting to hit the shelves.  Not that theres anything wrong with imported strawberries of course its just that we like to support local growers wherever possible plus we know just how fresh they will be    Everything in the garden seems to be around 3 weeks late in sprouting this year

<description>Yesterday saw us at Romy amp Geoffs Wedding which took place at The LeftBank in Hereford.  This venue is sat next to the River Wye with several floors and glass balconies which overlook the river on the hottest day of the year so far it was absolutely beautiful.
Romy had chosen a chocolate and sage green colour scheme for her special day and I must say the colours really worked so well together and looked superb.  We took along our 44 medium fountain and decorated the display with chocolate brown and sage green gerbera also using lots of greenery  we topped off the fountain with a brown feather and leaf display.  We also took a Lotus flower ice sculpture filled with strawberries keeping them nicely chilled.
This was a lovely glamorous wedding set by the river on a beautiful sunny day  what more could you want...

<description>Chocolate and cheese does tend to work together mild cheddar is best. So far everyone who has been brave enough to try has loved it.  So at a recent 50th Birthday Ally decided to come up with a new twist .... the Ally kebab.
Not for the faint hearted but we were amazed it was actually quite nice in a very weird kind of way
You will need

Mild Cheddar cheese 
Grapes 
and heres the killer silver skin onions 
warm Belgian chocolate  
Load up a kebab and pour over the warm chocolate.  Im still puzzling over how this all actually works together but give it a go  you may be pleasantly surprised
Thanks to Ally for this one
If anyone has any recommendations for new dipping items or combinations then let us know. Wed love to hear your ideas and of course wed have to try it out for ourselves

We are proud to introduce our Chocolate Fountain Topper.  This is an extension to the top of our chocolate fountains which extend its height using a whole range of different items such as flowers feathers bride amp groom etc.  Think of it as a topper to a wedding cake but on a Chocolate Fountain  
The topper is taking its first outing this evening at a charity event we are attending for the Worcester Breast Care unit.  The topper will contain cerise pink ostrich feathers to tie in with the Charitys colour scheme so check back tomorrow to see the photos  Its going to be impressive.
As far as we can tell we are the second company in the UK using fountain toppers...so if you want to stand out from the crowd give us a call</description>
