Q: What is a Chocolate Fountain and how does it work?

A: A Chocolate Fountain is a multi-tiered stainless steel apparatus with a heated core from which molten chocolate slowly erupts over the top and flows downward, encasing the steel, creating the effect of a cascading fountain. Dips such as strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, etc are provided on skewers which guests will then dip into the cascading chocolate flow to create delicious chocolate coated delicacies.

Q: How do I rent a Chocolate Cascades chocolate fountain?

A: Easy. Either call us or fill in the Request Form with all the necessary details, such as, type of event, number of guests and location of event, and the dips you would like. We will then help you decide the quantity of chocolate required and whether you need any additional touches to the display of the fountain. Next, we will send you a quotation. A deposit of RM450 is required. This can be paid as follows:

Upon confirmation of rental: RM100, to hold the fountain for the date of your event.
On the day of the event: Balance RM350 of the deposit and 50% of the Package fee.
After the event (the same day): Remainder of the Package fee.

Q: How far in advance should I book my fountain?

A: During festive seasons and holidays, our fountains are always in high demand, so we recommend booking as soon as you've made a decision.

Q: What sort of chocolate is used in the fountain?

A: We provide only the best Premium Couverture Belgian chocolate that is specially designed for our fountains to ensure a smooth flow and top quality taste.

Q: How much chocolate is required to run the fountain?

A: Our fountains run on as little as 1 kg of chocolate. However, the final amount that you will need depends on the number of guests at your event and their consumption rate. The fountain will also need to be constantly topped up, to ensure a continuous and unbroken flowing cascade. To this end, 1 or 2 additional 1 kg packs of chocolate will be provided to you on a consignment basis. If opened, each pack will be charged accordingly.

Q: How long does it take for you to set up?

A: Depending on your requirements (whether you need a basic display or a more elaborate one to complement your theme), setup time can take between 30 minutes to slightly over an hour.

Q: Who provides the foods for dipping?

A: Ideally, Chocolate Cascades is your best choice to provide dipping items because this is our specialty. We provide the freshest dips possible and we will create a beautiful display, with your selected dips, around the chocolate fountain to create a visual feast for the eyes. However, you may also choose to provide the dips yourself. If you choose to use your own dips, our only request is that you check with us prior to the event as some foods are not suitable as dips and may ruin the effect of the fountain, resulting in a clumped chocolate, interrupted flow, or worse, a clogged fountain!

Take a look at our Dipping Items section for our popular dips.

Q: What do you need me to provide?

A: A sturdy table is a must. The table can be circular or rectangle. A 5.5 foot round table of a 6 x 4 rectangle table is ideal. The table should also be level and placed on a level surface or the chocolate will not flow properly. To work, the chocolate fountain requires a grounded electrical outlet within 10 feet of the set-up location.

Q: Will I have to pay for delivery charges?

A: All delivery within 15km of Petaling Jaya is free-of-charge. A nominal fee would be charged to cover fuel and toll if your event is located outside of this radius.

Testimonial The party started off pretty well with the introduction of the Chocolate Fountain. With marshmallows , bananas, strawberries and grapes ready on the table , party-goers dipped the various assortments into the thick, sweet layer of chocolate.Many were fascinated by what they tasted, often going for more than one helping. I even knew of a friend who went for 10 helpings before proceeding to the main course. Personally, I believe that the Chocolate Fountain has certainly enhanced the entire environment of the party and created an unforgettable chocolate experience.
