Joining the growing crowd of cupcake trucks, including New York's CupcakeStop, Los Angeles's Sprinklesmobile, and New Haven, Connecticut's Cupcake Truck, is one in Jacksonville, Florida, according to The Florida Times-Union:
Anita Adams of Let Them Eat Cake has launched a cupcake truck that offers cupcakes as well as brownies, cookies and soda. The light turquoise truck, which is topped with a giant cupcake and says Let Them Eat Cupcakes, is parked outside the Bank of America building from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. She and her partner, Bernie Zitomer, also sell baked goods during Art Walk, which takes place downtown on the first Wednesday evening of the month.
Adams got the idea to sell mobile desserts after eating bread pudding from a dessert truck in New York City. "It was one of the best desserts I've ever had," she said. "It knocked me over."
For the better part of the year, Adams has been working on putting her vision in place, acquiring required permits and licenses. She bought the truck in St. Augustine, she said, from a listing on Craigslist.
The summer heat has posed a challenge for Adams. She said she's had to stick with heat-hardy cupcakes, including carrot cake, red velvet and cupcakes topped with butter cream.
This seems to be their website from before the cupcake trucked launched, but there's no email address that I can see (also, as a user of any site, not just as a cupcake blog, it kills me when I can't find an email address - is that not the point of the internets?). So if you've visited this truck or hear of anything, please let us know at cupcakestakethecake at gmail.com
