Chocolate Legacy Fountains
Our fountains are completely made of
stainless steel and weigh about 60 lbs. Chocolate flows up a specially-made stainless
steel corkscrew that rotates and brings the chocolate from the tempered base to the
opening at the top of the fountain. The chocolate then cascades over four tiers,
collecting at the basin before spiraling to the top of the fountain for recirculation.
Chocolate Legacy fountains are easy to set up and break down. They ship in 2 parts: the
base tempering (heating) unit, and the tower, consisting of the cylinder, the corkscrew
and four tiers. Assembly is very basic (see image gallery)
however it is essential to make sure the base unit and tiers are level in order to
maintain a consistent sheeting of the chocolate and avoid spillage. It is just as easy to
disassemble, so the clean up is quick.
The operation is simple, just plug in, set the temperature and start the corkscrew blade.
Once the fountain is going, you can always add more chocolate throughout the event. The
fountain, itself, can melt the chocolate, but may take awhile because of the low
temperature. For best results, melt the chocolate on your own (either using a double
boiler or a microwave on medium heat - just make sure you stir the chocolate frequently to
prevent it from crystallizing) and then pour into the base of the fountain.
A few notes about location and placement at your event: You will need access to a 3-prong
outlet. You will also want to be sure your fountain is not in a drafty area and away from
overhead vents and registers, particularly those that deliver cold air. Cold temperatures
immediately impact the stainless steel and cause the chocolate to crystallize. Outdoor
events are challenging, but not impossible, as bugs, dust and leaves in the air may get
caught in the chocolate.
