teleribTwo 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!
