ORIGINAL CHOCOLATE FOUNTAINS ARE the UK's LATEST FOOD CRAZE Submitted By: Big Wednesday PR Monday, 1 August 2005 ORIGINAL CHOCOLATE FOUNTAINS ARE THE UK'S LATEST FOOD CRAZE Submitted by: Big Wednesday PR Monday, 1 August 2005 Since the premiere of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, parties have been buzzing with their own chocolate factories; even 10 Downing Street has bought into the trend and taken one for its summer party. The UK is about to be hit with chocolate fountain fever. Research by The Original Chocolate Fountain Ltd shows that demand for chocolate fountains has increased over 60% compared to summer 2004. The Original Chocolate Fountains were used in the filming of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the opening scenes when Willy Wonka sees a chocolate fountain and is inspired to create a river purely made of liquid chocolate. At the post premiere party celebrities and guests entered Willy Wonka’s factory and made a beeline for the four, metre high tiered fountains, which were in luscious milk, strawberry and white melted courverture Belgian chocolate. From Johnny Depp to Tim Burton with Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross and Brooklyn Beckham in-between, the fountains were a big hit with both children and adults. Graham Norton was partial to a bit of fudge, whilst Jonathan Ross opted for the perfectly ripe glittered strawberries and Brooklyn Beckham dipped a couple of profiteroles under the gaze of Jacquie Adams – Victoria’s Mum. Brooklyn clearly enjoyed his first strawberry chocolate fountain experience – it was the first thing he ran to - and took a little persuading to see the rest of the party. Harvey Ward of The Original Chocolate Fountain says ‘It’s brilliant, everyone loves chocolate and the sight of melted chocolate flowing down a metre high fountain has brought famous grown men and women literally to their knees at this party.’ Last week The Original Chocolate Fountain Ltd was featured on GMTV for their interactive wedding of the year and fountains are now one of the top ten features at today’s weddings with white chocolate being a favourite. Presenter Ben Shepherd loved dipping doughnuts into the delicious liquid, and guest on the show Shane Richie ordered one as a gift for Nick Bailey’s wedding (a.k.a. Dr Trueman). With their stunning presentation, The Original Chocolate Fountain Ltd creates the ultimate ‘wow’ factor and the fountains are a great talking point at any occasion. Before seeing a fountain you are gripped by the intoxicating smell of melted Belgian chocolate as the scent permeates the room. A fantastic site to behold, the fountains are freestanding, tiered and a metre high with unique Perspex neon displays and bespoke glassware laden with the highest quality exotic fresh fruit, home-made Devonshire fudge and fresh miniature doughnuts and profiteroles for the ultimate in pleasurable dipping. www.theoriginalchocolatefountain.com - ends - Notes to Editors 1.Harvey Ward and Helen Harper founded the Original Chocolate Fountain in 2003. It was the first chocolate fountain company in the UK and is now the largest operator in Europe. The first franchise has been sold to cover the Midlands territory and there are a further 6 for sale in the UK. Page 1 2.The Original Chocolate Fountain is a celebrity favourite, loved by Elle Macpherson, Claudia Shiffer, Matthew Vaughn, Rebekah Wade, Ross Kemp, The Beckhams, Gordon Brown, Cherie Blair, Christian Slater, Val Kilmer and Richard Curtis. 3.The Original Chocolate Fountain Ltd gave Richard Curtis the inspiration to include a giant fountain for chocoholic Dawn French to dip her head into on the New Year special of The Vicar of Dibley. 4.Each fountain holds the equivalent to 250 Mars bars and uses high grade specially imported courverture chocolate direct from Belgium, which has a minimum 34% cocoa solids for milk and up to 82% for dark. Other flavours include strawberry, orange, cappuccino and mint. Nothing is added to the chocolate it is simply melted to work in the fountain. 5.The Original Chocolate Fountain Ltd uses stunning and bespoke displays to feature the fountains. Current popular models are the rotating display and the figure of eight comprising 2 fountains. 6.Only high quality, fresh products are served with the fountains. Fruits and berries supplied with the fountains are perfectly sized and ripe for the dipping. The pineapple is Costa Rican and deliciously super-sweet. The fudge is from homemade from Devonshire and comes in a variety of flavours: Clotted cream, cherry, Malteser, rum and raisin and marzipan.

  • Sephra Chocolate Fountain Instructions
    Sephra Chocolate Fountain Instructions ** All tier set components should be at room temperature before adding chocolate to the fountain. Chocolate will harden if it comes into contact with cold metal and can cause the auger to bind** CHOCALATE PREPARATION We strongly encourage you to use Sephra Fondue Chocolate or Chocolate Melts, available in dark, milk and white varieties. Sephra chocolate is specially formulated with the proper viscosity to flow perfectly through the fountain every time. Our unique fondue chocolate is exquisite in taste and aroma and your guests and clients are sure to be delighted. Before using the chocolate, store it in a cool, dry place. Do NOT freeze or refrigerate it as moisture affects the chocolate’s consistency. BEFORE STARTING THE FOUNTAIN 1. Ensure that the fountain is on a sturdy, LEVEL surface. 2. The fountain itself must be level in order to operate and curtain properly. 3. Check to see that the fountain basin (bowl) is securely tightened. 4. Place the auger with the stabilizer into the cylinder and turn it clockwise to check that it is locked in place over the center square drive shaft. Place the crown on top of the cylinder. 5. Ensure that the fountain vent holes and the bottom of the base housing are not covered. These areas allow heat to escape from the motor and heating element during use. Obstruction of the air flow will cause damage to the motor and internal electrical components. “CHOCOLATE PREPERATION” 6. Melt chocolate directly in the fountain basin. 7. Melting chocolate directly in the fountain basin takes approximately 35-60 minutes.

  • Do You Fondue? Firebox.Com Announces Wonka-Esque Choccy Fountain Submitted By: Firebox Monday, 1 August 2005
    Do you fondue? Firebox.com announces Wonka-esque Choccy Fountain Submitted by: Firebox Monday, 1 August 2005 Oompa loompa doompadee doo, we've got a Chocolate Fountain for you! "Invention is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation and 2% butterscotch ripple." Yes, we know that makes 105% but Willy Wonka said it so who are we to argue? Speaking of the eccentric chocolatier, we wouldn't be at all surprised if he had a hand in the creation of the quite magical Chocolate Delight Fondue Fountain, as it looks like something you might find in the depths of his enchanted factory. The spectacular Chocolate Fountain amazingly flows with lashings and lashings of warm liquid choccy. All you have to do is fill it up, turn it on and watch in wonder. Once you've recovered from the shock of seeing those mesmerising curtains of cascading Belgian chocolate you can get busy dipping your delicacies into the fountain's warm liquid embrace. Strawberries are stupendous, fudge is fantabulous and marshmallows are magnificent - and the truth is, pretty much anything you can shove on a stick tastes amazing when it's covered in warm, gooey chocolate. The easy-to-use fountain works by heating the chocolate in the basin and then carrying it to the top of the fountain via a rotating internal shaft. This beautifully built stainless-steel structure is small enough for your kitchen table, perfect for parties and sweet-toothed soirees, and is surprisingly easy to clean. Each fondue also comes with a 900g bag of special pre-mixed Belgian chocolate to get you started.

  • BRUSSELS © Shopping, Consistently Excellentdiningatallpriceranges,Sublimechocolate Shops Anda the Trulygrandgrandplaceissurely Oneoftheworld’Smostbeautiful Squares
    © Lonely Planet 62 Brussels BRUSSELS BRUSSELS The fascinating capital of Belgium and Europe sums up all the contradictions of both. It’s simultaneously historic yet hip, bureaucratic yet bizarre, self confident yet un-showy and multicultural to its roots. The city’s contrasts and tensions are multilayered yet somehow consistent in their very incoherence – Francophone versus Flemish, Bruxellois versus Belgian versus Eurocrat versus immigrant. And all this plays out on a cityscape that swings block by block from majestic to quirky to grimily rundown and back again. It’s a complex patchwork of overlapping yet distinctive neighbourhoods that takes time to understand. Organic art nouveau facades face off against 1960s concrete disgraces. Regal 19th-century mansions contrast with the brutal glass of the EU’s real-life Gotham City. World-class museums lie hidden in suburban parks and a glorious beech forest extends extraordinarily deep into the city’s southern flank. This whole maelstrom swirls forth from Brussels’ medieval core, where the truly grand Grand Place is surely one of the world’s most beautiful squares. Constant among all these disparate images is the enviable quality of everyday life – great shopping, consistently excellent dining at all price ranges, sublime chocolate shops and a café scene that could keep you drunk for years. But Brussels doesn’t go out of its way to impress. Its citizens have a low-key approach to everything. And their quietly humorous, deadpan outlook on life is often just as surreal as the classic Brussels-painted

The Lindt Chocolate Competence CLAUDIA LUXBACHER T.+49 711 5000 77 126 Foundation invites small and large guests to take part in a journey of discovery [email protected] into the wonderful world of chocolate. Planned and designed by ATELIER WWW.ATELIER-BRUECKNER.COM BRÜCKNER, the Chocolate Tour provides information on the origins, history and production of the mouth-watering delicacy. It shows some specific details about Switzerland and makes it possible to experience the cocoa-containing products with all the senses in an exhibition area covering 1500 square metres. The museum exhibition is located in the Lindt Home of Chocolate, a new building by Swiss architects Christ & Gantenbein at the headquarters of Lindt & Sprüngli in Kilchberg near Zurich. Lindt has been making chocolate at this location since as early as 1899. Lindt is one of the few chocolate brands that cover the entire production chain "from bean to bar". The history of the company going back to 1845 is presented in a film, which is shown in the auditorium on the ground floor of the new building. The world's highest, free-standing chocolate fountain in the foyer of the museum serves as the prelude to the world of chocolate. It is 9.30 metres high and circulates 1000 litres of liquid chocolate, flowing from a large, hovering wire whip down into a Lindor ball on the ground.
