Charity Event For Yorkshire Air Ambulance

This weekend chocolate fountains travelled across the border into Yorkshire to support Jo Mclaughlan and her fundraiser for Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Friends and supporters came along to a fun evening planned by Jo to raise money for the charity and go towards supporting the fantastic work that the air ambulance provides.  The venue was a lovely restaurant called the Dolce Vita in Scissett.

We learnt that this vital service to the area requires £7200 per day to keep its two air craft maintained and in the air.  Without these funds the service would not be able to be operative.

Jo put together the evening to raise funds which are going towards the Pedal For Pounds 3 In Aid Of Keep It Up Campaign which is a bike ride from Yeovil to Huddersfield.  Each cyclist is aiming to raise £1000 each for the charity.

The evening including live entertainment from one of the guests.  Several Elvis numbers were sung for all the guests to enjoy.sing along and dance to.

We provided a 44″ milk chocolate fountain for all the guests to enjoy.  Fresh strawberries and bananas were accompanied by shortbread, pink wafers, mini doughnuts, fudge, jelly babies and the all time favourite marshmallows.

I received a lovely phone call today to say that everyone enjoyed the fountain and that the evening planned by Jo was an entire success.

Chocolate fountains would like to wish Jo, Andy and everyone who is taking part in the bike ride the best of luck.

The full service hire option that we are able to provide includes a complete start to finish hire package that you can enjoy.  Our friendly uniformed team members will arrive at the venue up to 2 hours before the chocolate flowing time is to start.  They will set up all of the equipment and display for you.

All of our hire packages include a 44” Sephra chocolate fountain with a spectacular illuminated base unit.  The base unit can be set to stay on one colour, red, blue, yellow, green or pink.  The unit has the option to change between red, blue and green at various intervals if preferred.  The base unit also allows us to display your chosen dip items perfectly on white crockery.

We have a wide selection of dip choices available including;

  • Strawberries
  • Pineapple
  • Grapes
  • Banana
  • Cherries
  • Marshmallows
  • Fudge

The chocolate that we use is fountain ready Belgian chocolate which is available in white, milk or dark.  During your hire period your chocolate will be unlimited.  To begin with the fountain is filled with nearly 8kg of chocolate for the guests to enjoy.  It will be topped up if required.  The chocolate that we use is suitable for vegetarians and is kosher.  The marshmallows are available as a halal option.

White chocolate can be mixed with a recommended food colouring to give it a different appearance.  A popular choice for 2012 is a pink chocolate fountain hire for a look to compliment a running theme.  As well as pink,we have colourings available in red, green, blue, yellow, orange, violet and black.

Every hire package includes skewers, napkins and wet wipes for the guests to use.  Nothing worse than thinking you have chocolate all over your mouth and not being able to wipe it.

If you want to have more than fountain running at the same time, we can provide a second 44″ fountain and or a smaller 34″ chocolate fountain.  You could display milk, white and dark chocolate at the same time.

We have available to hire a fresh mini  fruit palm tree and our candy buffet hire.  These are available as a separate option or as an add on to compliment a chocolate fountain display.

 

 

 

ASDA Christmas Party 2011

We were hired by AV-Matrix to supply two 44” chocolate fountains, for the recent Christmas party celebrations for ASDA at their head office in Leeds.  We sent a team of four uniformed operators to the venue location to provide a fantastic display for all of the party guests to enjoy.  Each display included a stunning illuminated base unit, which lit up each chocolate fountain.

Over 800 guests attended the party in their finest fancy dress attire.  There were several Audrey Hepburn’s, Thelma & Louise, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and we lost count at the number of Sir Jimmy Saville’s which was a touching tribute after his recent passing.

The requirements that we were given by AV-Matrix was that one fountain flowed milk chocolate and the other white chocolate.

We arrived at the venue approx 2 hours prior to our 8pm start to set up our displays.  Two uniformed team members each set up one chocolate fountain display ready for the evening ahead.  Each fountain was filled with nearly 10kg of the finest fountain ready Belgian chocolate, which means that nothing is added to the chocolate.  The chocolate that we use is suitable for vegetarians and is kosher.

We supplied a 3 hour chocolate fountain flowing time and we ensured that we served as many guests as we could. The dips chosen ranged from fresh fruits including strawberries, grapes, pineapple to sweets like fudge, jelly babies and marshmallows.  All of the produce we ensured was purchased from our local ASDA store that day – a must!

All of the guests enjoyed the live band that was hired for the entertainment and many guests were still dancing the night away when we departed around midnight.

We hope to see ASDA again in 2012 for their Christmas chocolate fountain hire service!
