Q: What is a chocolate dipping
fountain?
A: Our chocolate dipping
fountain is a three tiered stainless steel machine that
measures approximately 19" high. The fountain weights 40 lbs.
without chocolate and 50 lbs with chocolate. It has a
corkscrew that rotates and brings the chocolate from the
heated base to the opening at the top of the fountain where it
overflows down the tiers and into the
basin.
Q: What kind of fountains do
you use?
A:
We only use Sephra fountains, simply
the best on the market. They are the most reliable &
attractive fountains available.
Q: Why are you much more affordable than
other companies in town?
A: The
reason for this is that other companies require you to use
their attendant and charge a premium for this service. We
don't feel this is necessary as our chocolate fountains are
VERY EASY to operate. Upon setup we walk you
through the operation of the fountain and leave you easy to
read printed instructions. As always we are available for
support 24 hours a day and offer FREE delivery, set-up and
clean-up.
Q: What are my choices of chocolate for
the chocolate fountain?
A: The
fountain requires a special type of chocolate.
"Couverture" chocolate is available in milk, dark, and white
chocolate. Baja Mamas uses a high quality imported
Belgian Callebaut couverture chocolate which has a higher
cocoa butter content. (53%) Most other companies use
chocolate with a 32-39% cocoa content. The higher
percentage of cocoa butter, combined with the processing,
gives the chocolate a creamy mellow flavor and allows the
chocolate to flow through the fountain more
elegantly.
Q: How much
chocolate do I need for my event?
A: The Chocolate Fountain will serve an unlimited
number of guests as long as additional chocolate is added.
Your rental includes 5 pounds of imported Belgian
Callebaut chocolate, either dark, milk
or white. This should serve up to 50
guests. We always bring an extra supply of chocolate if
more is needed and you only pay for what you
use.
Q: What kind of chocolate is
used?
A: The finest Belgian gourmet
couverture chocolate is used in our fountain. This type of
chocolate contains 33% cocoa butter in it which ensures
consistency of the flow and a higher quality appearance as
well as taste. Chocolate is available in milk, white, or
dark.
Q: What are the table and electrical
requirements?
A: Since the chocolate fountain weighs approximately 40
pounds when full, a level, sturdy table is a must. If it is
not level, the chocolate will not flow properly. Your banquet
facility should provide two table linens that will coordinate
with your color scheme. The chocolate fountain requires a 120
volt grounded electrical outlet within 10 feet of the set-up
location.
Q: Are we responsible for set-up, maintenance,
tear-down, and clean-up of the chocolate dipping
fountain?
A: Absolutely Not!
This is your party and you're suppose to be enjoying it.
We will arrive at your special event approximately one hour or
so prior to the designated starting time. If you want us to
stay longer, no problem. Check out our prices for
additional attendant time. We then clean up and
dismantle the chocolate fountain at the contracted ending
time. We want you to have a good time and leave the work to
us.
Q: How long can I have the chocolate
dipping fountain at my event?
A: Our
packages are for 24 hours of service. Additional cost for same
day pickup is $20.
Q: What can be dipped in the chocolate
dipping fountain?
A: We will work
with you, your caterer or event planner to provide a
delicious array of food to be dipped into the chocolate. If
you are using a caterer, please provide us with their name and
telephone number and you may also provide them with ours. We
will jointly decide the best dipping items for your event. The
possibilities for dipping are endless! CLICK HERE to view our dipping
delicasies. If you are not using a caterer, we can provide a
wonderful array of dipping items for an additional
fee.
Q: Are there any desserts that are not
recommended for use with the chocolate dipping
fountain?
A: Desserts that will
crumble and break easily tend to compromise the smooth flow of
the chocolate in the fountain. For this reason, please avoid
using cakes and brownies.
Q: Can the chocolate dipping fountain be
used outdoors?
A: We highly recommend
that you use the fountain indoors. Outside weather conditions
play an important factor on the flowing consistency of the
chocolate. In the event that you desire the fountain for an
outdoor event, please make every effort to shield the fountain
from adverse weather conditions and be aware that we cannot
guarantee proper functionality for outdoor
events.
Q: Do you provide any decorations for
around the chocolate dipping fountain?
A: Our fountain is always displayed with a beautiful
mirrored skirt. If you are working with a caterer, they may
want to provide proper table decorations coordinating with
your themed event. However, if you so desire, we have
coordinating fabrics, serving platters, lighting, and floral
accents to create a dramatic and elegant
presentation.
Q: What areas does Baja Mamas Party
Potions offer their chocolate fountain services
to?
A: Our chocolate dipping
fountains are all the rage in Arizona. We
serve Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley and
Catalina counties. Call for more information if you live
outside these areas.
Q: Do you require reservations and
deposit?
A: Yes! Reservations are
limited and are on a first come, first serve basis. We require
a completed contract and a $50.00
deposit at the time of your booking to hold your event. The
remaining balance is due upon delivery of the fountain at your
scheduled event. Inquire about contract
terms.
