Which Chocolate should I Use in a Chocolate Fountain?

Not all chocolate is made for chocolate fountains. A lot of supermarket-bought chocolate bars taste good, but they do not always melt into the glossy, smooth consistency needed for a fountain. Many melt too thickly, flow unevenly, form lumps and eventually put strain on the motor. In some cases, the wrong chocolate can even clog the machine.This is why choosing the correct type of chocolate matters. For a fountain, you need chocolate with the right fat content, texture and flow. Cocoa butter helps chocolate melt more smoothly, but you also need to keep a rich, chocolatey flavour.The best choice or many customers is a blend made specifically for melting and fountain use. Sephra’s Fountain Ready Chocolate Flavoured Blend combines Belgian couverture with chocolate flavoured compound. It gives you the taste of Belgian chocolate while staying smooth, creamy and ready to flow.

Is a Popcorn machine worth it?

Whether you enjoy popcorn or not, it is hard to deny the pull of that buttery, sweet smell drifting through a cinema foyer. Popcorn is a familiar snack that catches the attention of customers time and time again. It is affordable, easy to eat on the go and instantly recognisable. However, serving fresh popcorn does not have to be limited to the pictures. It can work just as well at markets, fairgrounds, open days, parties, school events and seasonal stalls. The nostalgic look of a red and gold popcorn maker can help draw people in before they have even seen the menu.

With Sephra’s 8oz popcorn machine, businesses can serve fresh, golden popcorn quickly and conveniently. It creates visual theatre, adds a fun focal point to your setup and gives customers a tasty snack that is easy to enjoy while walking around.

Maple Syrup by Sephra – The Real Deal

The maple-flavoured syrup you pour over your pancakes in the morning may not be real maple syrup at all. Many “maple-flavoured” syrups are sweet substitutes made with corn syrups, refined cane sugar, flavourings and colourings. They can look authentic at first glance, but some contain only a small percentage of actual maple tree sap, or none at all.

Authentic maple syrup is much simpler. It does not need a long ingredient list to taste good. It comes directly from the sap of maple trees. The natural sugars, colour and flavour develop during the boiling process. Sephra Maple Syrup is 100% natural and authentic, unlike the golden bottles you see lined on supermarket shelves. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, with no added preservatives or colourings. For cafés, dessert parlours, bakeries and breakfast venues, it offers a more authentic alternative to standard maple-flavoured syrup. It simply is the real deal.
