Answers:
I would add to your list:
apples, peanut butter pound cake, kiwi, pretzels, oreos, vanilla wafers, cherries, and pineapple
Hope you have a great party!

Recipe for Peanut Butter Pound Cake
Yield: 1 cake
Oven: 350° 45 minutes then 325° 15-20 minutes

2 1/2 sticks butter
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup peanuts, finely chopped (optional)

Cream butter and sugar until light yellow!. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly blended!. Add vanilla extract and slowly beat in peanut butter!. Sift flour with baking powder and salt!. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, until well blended!. Line a 9 or 10-inch tube pan on the bottom with wax paper!. Spoon in batter and bake at 350° for 45 minutes; reduce heat to 325° and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer, until cake tests done!. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool cake completely!. If desired, toward the end of baking, while cake is still soft, sprinkle about 1/3 cup finely chopped peanuts onto batter to give it a crunchy topping!.

For the second fondue, you might consider having a cheese fondue!. With that you could couple a variety of crackers, pretzels, and veggies (like broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Aw that sounds so fun!
When I have been to parties with fonue fountains, there has been:
pretzels, marshmallows, different flavored cheesecake bites, fruits (strawberries, apples, bananas, berries), graham crackers, oreos, angel food cake, and creme puffs!.
Hope it all goes well!Www@FoodAQ@Com

We use all the below for our chocolate fondues!.
any cubed fruit - put lemon juice on apples and bananas so they don't brown
dried apricots
pound cake
any sweet breads
gingerbread
pretzels
hazelnut or almond biscotti
shortbread fingers
ruffled potato chips - salty and sweet - yum
crusty french bread
have fun with it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Um yea I havn't had experience with fondues but
I say go for the fondues
Sounds great lol
Um and I would add a buffet of food and deserts
thats all I would have
But if you want more then just add whatever your daughter likes to it
Hope this helped!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cream puffs would be good, also cut up blondies, lady fingers, grapes, blueberries, caramel chews, and donut holes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

pretsals,crackers,and for some reason i love salty foods with pure chocklate idk sounds like a sweet paartyWww@FoodAQ@Com

use pretzels as skewers too for that sweet and salty combo!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

here are some things i have seen with chocolate fondue that were fun
>rice krispies (make your own or break store bought ones in
to small peices)
>pretzel sticks (the big thick ones that you wont need a
skewers)
>grahm crackers (then can even be made into smores with the
marshmallows)
>a bowl of sprinkels(that way then can dip anything they just
dipped in the chocolate into it)
>chuncks of brownies( as if thats not chocolate enough)
>cookies (you dont need a skewer and try diffrent types of
cookies)


as for tips in general
-if you have disposable skewers i would recomend those because they don't need cleaning
-if your not planning on useinf disposable ones then make sure to tell them that and it is a good idea for there to be a way to label them (with tape or something) so they don't get mixed up
-wax/parchment paper will be your friend! if you covere the area around the table with it for an easy clean up
-you can also cut it up into little squares that they can use to hole the skewers
-wet wipes are also good for an easy way to clean hands so they wont be running to the bath room every time the need clean hands (and also they would get chocolate all over)
-littel platets or napkens to hold under the things they just dipped in fordue so it wont drip on them
-you can also use the fondue to put on top of the ice cream

thats all i can think of right now but i hope i helped and i hope you party goes well!Www@FoodAQ@Com
