This is exactly what my husband wants me to do LOL!! Go park it around lunch time down the industrial road (where most people work around here) He would be so jealous to know someone else has the same idea! Maybe a future franchise!
I live in chicago and there is a a truck that started doing that last year. They bake out of a rented kitchen overnight. When they started it was just for the 9-5 crowd in the Loop. She is so busy that she now goes out to the suburbs and stays out later into the night too. They use Facebook and twitter to tell everyone where they are. I don't even love the cupcakes on her truck but the idea of seeing the truck is awesome! We also have a law that trucks can only have prepackaged food so the cupcakes are all individually packaged and stacked in bins on shelves in the trucks... can you tell I'm jealous about the idea??? I checked out the entire operation.
Go for it! Good luck!
yayyyyy texas! lol
i know so-co in austin is super popular for food trucks, i'd think it depends a great deal on whether you're in a large city where this trend is established as opposed to a small town where you'd be the first truck (not to say you wouldn't cause a talk! lol). i think its an awesome idea personally, if the demographics work i'd say go for it ![]()
Not sure what part of texas but I believe their is a cupcake trailer in Austin and also one in Dallas. The one in Dallas is called trailer cakers I believe. I think it's a super cute idea.
Don't know about TX, but there are several food trucks that are dedicated to selling cupcakes out of them - they bake in a commercial kitchen then sell out of the truck.
Personally, I make my debut selling my cupcakes out of my friend's empanada food truck next Friday. I have my own window and everything. I am really looking forward to it ![]()
It is being done in Virginia Beach if you want to check out how they do it:
