One of the latest crazes in the world of chocolate is a fountain just flowing with the stuff!

One Minnesota woman was so taken with this device she decided to go into business for herself.

It was a beautiful summer day, nearly two years ago, when Kip and Sarah Ramsay tied the knot. They had a perfect, storybook wedding, and just when the couple thought their special day couldn't get any better, they were presented with an unusual gift.

Kip Ramsay said, "We were at our wedding and her parents had a surprise for us and we all gathered around one of the rooms."

Sarah Ramsay said, "All of a sudden, we all come in and there's a liquid chocolate fountain pouring down, and there's strawberries the size of our fists, we could not believe it!"

They had never seen anything like it, a fountain flowing with chocolate!

The guests gathered around, oohing and ahhing as they dipped their fruit.

It left quite an impression on the mother of the groom.

Mary Ramsay said, "I really thought about it, and I thought, I can do this, so I went for it!"

For more than twenty years, Mary Ramsay raised three boys and was a substitute teacher in St. Paul. Now at the age of 58, she's running her first business.

She calls it, "Dippin Chocolate."

These days Mary and her husband, Richard, spend their weekends setting up their scrumptious display at various events. This time it's a Bridal show.

Life for Mary is sweet.

Mary Ramsay said, "People love food, people love chocolate."

Their edible, extravagant fountain always draws a crowd.

At first it looks like it's solid chocolate, but when the brides-to-be get up close, they realize it's a smoothly flowing, cascading treat, a chocolate lover's dream come true.

Mary Ramsay said, "Some people come through and they think it looks like a potter's clay from a distance and so I have to help people and encourage them to stick the skewer in a little bit further and they'll get more chocolate that way."

Mary Ramsay said, "I think it's just the chocolate, anyone likes chocolate, we know that. And it's just a very unique thing. A lot of people haven't seen it, it's still fairly new here in Minnesota."

The eye-catching dessert is catching on.

Some future brides are even thinking about replacing their wedding cake with it.

Kay Wilson said, "I would use it as a substitute, instead of cake, cause I'm not a big cake fan, I like chocolate."
