How to use ice fountains – safety, setup & tips
Ice fountains are one of the simplest and most impactful ways to enhance bottle service, cakes, or special moments at events, clubs, weddings or restaurants. But how do they actually work – and how do you use them safely?
This guide covers everything you need to know about usage, ignition, safety, and selecting the right ice fountain for your needs.
What is an ice fountain?
An ice fountain is a CE-certified indoor-safe firework effect that shoots sparkling jets upwards for 50–90 seconds. Commonly used on bottles, cakes, trays or even handheld on stage.
All our ice fountains are low-smoke, odorless, and designed for both professional and private use.
How do I ignite an ice fountain?
It’s easy and requires no tools:
- Remove any protective plastic
- Place the fountain in a clip or directly into the cake or bottle
- Hold upright (tip facing up)
- Use a lighter or match to ignite the top
Which model should I choose?
- 50-second ice fountain – for cakes or standard bottle service
- 90-second premium ice fountain – for club service or stage shows
- Gold design – premium visual for weddings or photo ops
Want even more effect? Combine with confetti cannons or LED bottle lights.
Can I use them on bottles?
Yes – just use our secure mounting clips. Available in single, double, or triple variations for different presentation styles.
Are they safe for cakes?
Absolutely. Our fountains are certified food-safe and produce no smoke or residue. They’re frequently used for birthdays and dessert shows.
Are ice fountains safe indoors?
Yes, as long as they’re CE-marked and used properly. Our fountains:
- Produce very little smoke
- Spark upwards only – no downward fallout
- Are suitable for clubs, lounges and restaurants with good ventilation
Frequently asked questions
How high do the sparks go?
Depending on the model, sparks can reach between 40–60 cm in height.
