Help Brides Save on Their Budget: Choosing Chocolate Fountains Over Cakes and Dessert

A custom wedding cake can quickly consume a large portion of a wedding budget, not to mention the additional desserts that are served to complement the wedding cake. Embrace the new trend of chocolate fountain as wedding cake and share this phenomenon with your brides. Not only will they be on the cutting edge of wedding cake trends, but they can save on their budget, as the chocolate fountain has the unique advantage of being cake plus desserts all in one!

Why Choose a Chocolate Fountain as a Wedding Cake

Everyone is cutting back these days, and wedding budgets are no exception. But this soft economy can actually help your chocolate fountain rental business increase by offering your budget-minded brides a trendy alternative to the traditional wedding cake: a chocolate fountain!

Tell brides that you can offer a vast array of dipping treats tailored for her wedding, a decorated and extravagant (or simple yet elegant) chocolate fountain, and a beautiful and memorable display for less than she would pay for a custom wedding cake plus small desserts. She could have it all for a lower price and be on the cutting edge of an emerging trend.

Describe the "first bite" ceremony where the couple dips a strawberry (or any dipping treat they choose) into the chocolate for chocolate fountains and feed each other to symbolize their commitment and everlasting love. A chocolate fountain will make a dramatic statement at the reception and will promote guest mingling and interaction as they return for seconds and thirds. Also, with such a wide variety of dipping treats available, any theme the bride might have chosen can be incorporated, and every palette will find something delicious to taste and enjoy instead of being confined to a single wedding cake.

How to Incorporate a Chocolate Fountain "Wedding Cake" into a Wedding

Visual aids will help any hesitating brides visualize the possibilities of a chocolate fountain wedding cake. Explain that you can add a topper, just like you would to a traditional wedding cake, such as a bride and groom figurine surrounded by her signature flowers, for example. She can choose from dark, milk or white chocolate and the table can be set according to her color scheme, even using LEDs to make her "wedding cake" shine. Show her various ice moulds that can be added to the display table for interest and originality.

Once this trend catches on, your chocolate fountain rental business will thank the soft economy for promoting your alternative to the traditional wedding cake.
