4 Event Display Ideas to Make Your Commercial Chocolate Fountains Shine

While a decadent, flowing commercial chocolate fountain instantly attracts everyone's attention, your display can take the entire ambiance to another level of appeal.  Using creative displays not only excites your clients, but can also generate publicity amongst guests attending the event.   Consider the following ideas to create compelling displays using a few well-placed accessories and your creativity.

Ice Moulds

Sephra created special ice moulds that are convenient and reusable, allowing you to create a unique display each time your chocolate fountain is rented. The ice moulds were crafted using a special plastic covered with an orange resin that can handle expanding ice without leaking or breaking. You can choose from a dolphin, seahorse, bride and groom mould, a bowl or an open sea shell mould.

The bride and groom mould is perfect for a wedding or anniversary, but consider pairing it with a seahorse or dolphin if a tropical theme is relevant. For general events, like corporate parties, you could use the bowl mould and fill it with fresh fruit near the chocolate fountain. If a festive vibe is called for, you could elevate the open sea shell bowl and then pair it with a dolphin on each side. Again, the shell-shaped bowl could contain fresh fruit and precede the chocolate fountain on the buffet table.

Food Serving Displays

Instead of simply laying out the various dipping treats, consider using tall, dramatic food serving displays. Sephra offers tiers comprised of 3 or 5 round or square plates in staggered sizes, as well as a spiral display and the ever-popular fruitpalm display. These serving displays are functional, allowing you to use less table space to display food, but also creates dramatic centerpieces and an attractive table.

You could easily combine two 3-tier displays with one central 5-tier display for an elegant, sophisticated arrangement preceding the chocolate fountain. Guests can easily see their options and reach them rather then bending over flat plates to choose their dessert.

Chocolate Fountain Toppers

Sephra cleverly developed a topper that fits perfectly atop two of the most popular commercial chocolate fountains: the 34-inch and 44-inch fountains. These toppers allow you the freedom to attach any topper via a magnet. You could easily attach bride and groom figurines via a magnet to the top for a wedding reception. You could also incorporate a flower arrangement for a garden club event or an antique car replica for a car club event.  The possibilities are limitless with the chocolate fountain topper.

Light Displays

Finally, small LED or twinkle lights could add modern sophistication or casual fun to any event. You could easily place white or colored LED lights near ice moulds because LEDs produce minimal heat, yet the light would shine and reflect through the ice sculpture for a breathtaking display. You could also thread strings of LEDs or twinkle lights throughout the length of the chocolate display, winding around food display tiers and up their centers, perhaps even wrapping a few bulbs around the chocolate fountain topper you chose.

All of these display ideas can be combined in various ways, depending on the type of event, to create a unique, tasteful display every time.
