Delicious Baby Shower Centerpieces

By Ann Neville


Chocolate is the perfect baby shower centerpiece.

One thing that will never go out of style at baby showers is chocolate, guaranteed. Some would say that a baby shower would not be complete without chocolate! What DOES go in and out of style at baby showers, then, is the way in which that chocolate is served.

An up-and-coming baby shower centerpiece trend that is becoming quite popular lately is the Chocolate Fountain.

What is a Chocolate Fountain?

Now, most of you already know the answer and may have even used one. But for those of you who dont know: A chocolate fondue fountain is a stainless steel 2 or 3 (or more) tiered fountain that melts chocolate and produces a continuous flow of chocolate film over the tiers. At a party, there is a variety of 'dippers' which are used to dip into the chocolate film, cover your item with the desired amount of chocolate and eat it, savoring every moment. That last part is important!

Why are Chocolate Fountains Becoming so Popular?

Baby shower chocolate fondue fountains are becoming popular because it is a novel and interactive experience. There is just something fascinating about dipping food into a waterfall of melted chocolate. Plus, everything tastes better with chocolate! Right?

A chocolate fountain is also an elegant and impressive baby shower centerpiece. Not very many parties feature a chocolate fountain, so it is a classy and unique baby shower centerpiece to have.

Also, a chocolate fountain is a popular baby shower food idea because it simplifies your menu. You serve chocolate and dippers. Thats it! Minimal preparation is required. And with so many other things to plan for at the baby shower, it is nice not to have to worry about the baby shower food.

What type of Dippers should You Use?

Here are some popular Baby Shower Chocolate Fountain Dippers:

* Apple Slices
* Strawberries
* Bananas
* Pineapple
* Grapes
* Blueberries
* Orange Slices
* Maraschino Cherries
* Marshmellows
* Rice Krispie Treats
* All Types of Cookies
* Graham Crackers
* Pretzels
* Wafer Cookies
* Animal Crackers
* Peanut Butter Treats
* Biscotti
* Frozen Eclairs

Should You Use a Chocolate Fountain as Your Baby Shower Centerpiece?

If you love chocolate, then Of Course! Actually, there are plenty of other ways to feed your chocolate craving other than a chocolate fountain. It depends on how big you want the baby shower to be. If you have the budget and want a sure way to WOW the guests then a chocolate fondue fountain would be a perfect touch to your baby shower.

They are somewhat expensive, so they are more of a luxury than a 'must have.' You can rent one at a party rental store - but be sure to rent one in your price range! There are several 'types' and some are much more expensive than others. Some baby shower chocolate fountains are very big and there are smaller ones as well, which are less expensive, so shop around at a few different places to get the best price.

Bottom line: It all comes down to chocolate. As long as that is part of the baby shower, everyone is happy! And having a chocolate fountain there is one way to heighten the experience.
