THE STORY SO FAR

In 2013, Brothers Jack & Bart had just returned to Melbourne from travelling & working in kitchens in Europe & India. The Melbourne food truck scene had just kicked off & both the brothers were keen to get on board this exciting new way to serve food to the people.

The brothers weren’t new to selling food on the go – in 2002, with a $3000 loan from their great grandpa, they converted an old camper trailer into a Belgian Waffle Van. The boys had great memories from visiting France on a holiday as kids & eating light, sweet, buttery waffles fresh off the iron at little country markets.

As they weren’t old enough to drive legally, Mum and Dad would drive everywhere from the Grampians to Hanging Rock to sell our Belgian Waffles at various food & wine festivals across the state.

A year or two on & they started setting up the van at music festivals all across the state, including Falls Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival & the Meredith Music Festival, which let them park the van on the top of the hill overlooking the amphitheatre for 14 years.

So in 2013, they noticed there was a sweet gap in the food truck market. Jack had always loved a crème brûlée, and always thought it’d be a great product to sell at food & wine festivals, so with the burgeoning food truck scene becoming very popular in the city & lots of food truck parks being setup, now was the time to get building and baking!

The first cart was crowd funded via Pozible. In exchange, they offered crème brûlée to all their amazing supporters. Some even contributed enough to warrant the cart to rock up at their wedding and torch brûlées for all their guests. They loved watching us caramelise the sugar right in front of their eyes. Wedding catering would become a big part of The Brûlée Cart’s success.

In 2015, in order to access smaller spaces, they built a custom tricycle (nicknamed ‘the Crèmecycle’) which has become really popular, particularly for weddings. The original cart was sold shortly after, as they liked how accessible the Crèmecycle was. A second  cart is currently being built, which is expected to be on the road for the beginning of Summer 2022.

Since then, the cart continues to do lots of private catering, as well as occasionally parking the dessert cart at public events including French festivals, European markets, as well as bigger events like Rising Festival & The Night Noodle Markets. The Brûlée Cart has catered for the likes of The Bank of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT, Land Rover, Holden, Domaine Chandon, CSIRO, Haileybury, Ballarat Grammar, Boutique Homes, Bridge Church & Dockland Studios. 

The Brûlée Cart bakes & delivers brûlées to many cafes & restaurants around town throughout the week.
