Wedding Obsession

Two words: Chocolate Fountain.

Twenty pounds of melted Belgian chocolate. That you dip things in. And then eat.

When such a marvel of modern technology is available, why haven't the bakers of cakes gone out of business?

The only problem: I thought the $400 price tag (actually as low as $350 from some of the suppliers) included the treats for dipping. That would be comparable to the wedding cakes we've seen going for $4/slice (for a reception with 100, that's $400). But alas, the price includes only the fountain, the chocolate, the skewers, and labor. Dippables can be had from caterers at around $3/person, which makes this look rather extravagant indeed.

But... four tall feet of flowing chocolate fondue! I mean... wow!

Was it just me, or did you hear Haagenti squealing in delight?

Hey, man. Chocolate. It's, you know, holy. (http://www.stormloader.com/users/moelane/innomine/servitors/Usul.htm)

And now I am forming a Cunning Plan... one can get that 20 pound bag of chocolate that they use in those fountains for a mere $70. While separate fondue stations do not, perhaps, have the "Oh My Freakin' God" appeal of the Chocolate Fountain, perhaps they can be had for under $280...
