You
have to look closely and only then you realize that it is actually flowing.
I
am talking about the largest chocolate fountain in the world.
You
will find this at Jean-Philippe Patisserie which is situated inside the
Bellagio hotel.
It
stands 26 feet tall from ceiling to the tank below and circulates 4409 lbs of
melted chocolate at the rate of 120 quarts per minute.
You
can see the Guinness book certificate on the right.
The three
colours you see are dark, milk and white chocolate which is pumped by
six pumps. These pumps take the chocolate back up through 2 inch diameter SS
pipes. To maintain the viscosity, temperature is controlled at 49 deg Celsius
(120 F). To maintain the temperature these pipes are sheathed in another 3 inch
pipe through which hot oil passes. All these are hidden within the walls of the
shop.
25
suspended glass vessels make it look more exquisite. Engineering planning and
design took two years.
There
are other pastries on display and sale. Clicked a few of them :
The
Croissant too was looking yummy.
And
this dress is made completely of chocolate:
You are surrounded with chocolate, and that makes you wonder, where to start.

Oh my, I would be in heaven here! I love chocolate so that fountain would be great to see. And all the other treats look delicious - yum!
Oh my word! And your pictures are divine, too.
Wow! This reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.
A delicious post, indeed:)

It just makes my mouth water!
Very sweet post! My niece in the UK kept a chocolate fountain at her daughter's wedding. It looked like a flower shaped water fountain. Fruit pieces, crackers etc. were kept in bowls near the fountain. We can take the watery chocolate from the fountain and eat. I didn't like the fruit chocolate combo, but with crackers, it was good!
Chocolate dress is beautiful!
Somehow I missed reading your posts in between. Now, will follow, Haddock!
Nice and informative post.
Wonder how that flow of chocolate will be tasting now.
