This is an idea we’ve wanted to get on the road for the past 5 years.. Crème Brûlée on the streets of Melbourne!

My Brother, Bart, and myself, Jack, started a Belgian Waffle stall 10 years ago – these days you will see it at the Meredith Music Festival and a handful of food & wine festivals around Victoria – we love selling our Waffles, however our van requires a lot of electricity so we thought we’d get another dessert cart operating that used less electricity which means more mobility!

Did you know that ‘Brûlée’ means ‘Burnt’ in French?

The French and the English have fought for years about the true origins of the dish – each have their own titles for what is essentially the same dish – the English call it ‘Crème Anglaise’ or just plain and simple ‘Burnt Cream!'. However there is something so delicate & elegant about cracking into the caramelized Toffee surface and discovering a thick, velvety Crème which is Oh So French!

Is there a more decadent dessert I ask you? Maybe we should ask Amelie..

Today Crème Brûlée is served in many high quality restaurants – but it is expensive and generally not accessible as a late night treat on the street or at an event.

We want to be able to pull our custom built cart up anywhere in Melbourne – markets, food truck jams, festivals, parties, weddings - and within 5 minutes, have our doors open, chef whites on, blow torch in hand, ready to caramelize the tops of our freshly made Crème Brûlée.

Our product is simple – Crème Brûlée made fresh daily with a rotating collection of flavours – everything from Lemon Meringue, Salted Caramel, Choc Hazelnut, Espresso, Cointreau, Lavender, Ginger to our tried and tested favourite, French Vanilla served with a raspberry on top..

We have noticed that there is a gap in the market for a high quality dessert truck in Melbourne. So, we plan to fill it!

We have already bought the cart, extended the height so we can work inside. We just need your help to fit it out, paint it, decorate it and stock it full of Crème Brûlée, Vanilla Pods & Raspberries!

Breakdown of Outstanding Costs:

1. Health Certification $530

2. Interior Fitting (benches/ walls/ glass display) $2000

Like our product, our rewards are simple – just Crème Brûlée! However for $500 we will bring the cart anywhere in Victoria for a Crème Brûlée Party..

We already have a few festivals & a food truck jam lined up, just from word of mouth, so with your help and our experience we know it can do really well!
