Food Truck - Fairycakes

There is a new cupcake truck in town and it's called Fairycakes. And it made a somewhat splashy appearance at the Willow Glen Moveable Feast this past Friday.

I've been waiting for the debut of the Fairycakes truck for several weeks. They employ local culinary students which a good friend of mine happens to be (you can check out her blog here). Knowing that they were supposed to be up and ready for business at 5PM, I planned on heading down after work with my camera to take photos of my friend and the new truck (not to mention to try a cupcake or two).

Alas, sometime before five came word that the truck had broken down on it's way to the event! I was so bummed thinking that they would miss Moveable Feast. My mouth had been watering for a cupcake all day. But the debut of the Fairycakes truck was not to be denied and for those lucky enough to be waiting saw their cupcakes being delivered attached to a large tow truck! Once they untethered from the tow truck, they set out their sign of what cupcakes were available, set up a container of milk (smart smart smart) for folks to grab a free drink and opened up to a very long line of folks patiently waiting for cupcakes at 6PM.

The Fairycakes truck offered six different cupcakes that night...at $3 each you were able to buy Carrot Cake, Pink  Velvet, Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Chocolate, Tuxedo and Lemon Drop. I ended up buying one of each which meant a quick call to my neighbors when I got home requesting an urgent "cupcake tasting" (I knew that if there were six cupcakes in my house, six cupcakes would get eaten). Everyone seemed to have a different favorite flavor. My two favorites were the Pink Velvet and the Lemon Drop with the Lemon Drop winning for me hands down. Filled with lemon curd, the Lemon Drop was just the right amount of sweetness after some pork belly dishes from some of the other trucks at Moveable Feast that night.

Though the Fairycakes truck won't be there this Friday, I hear they will be in regular rotation at Moveable Feast Willow Glen. You can check out their website here, or follow them on Twitter and Facebook. If you are having a party, they even deliver! I know I will be on the lookout for two cupcakes they list on their website...Chocolate Bacon Goodness (dark chocolate espresso cake with bacon topped with chocolate buttercream, and chocolate coated bacon) and Kaboom (guinness cake filled with chocolate ganache, topped with baileys buttercream).

For those of you not familiar with the newest food truck hot-spot, Moveable Feast is every Friday night from 5 to 9PM at the VTA parking lot at the corner of Curtner and Canoas Garden Avenue.

Don't know about the others since I only got a taste of the Lemon Drop. But it was good.

Love the name of the truck. And Pink Velvet, huh? A lighter shade of red then? :)

Those flavors sound super! I would go nuts over the chocolate bacon and the Kaboom cupcakes!! Pleeeaaase try them out! They need to make a slight detour to Ohio.

I wish Knoxville had food trucks. Right now, we still just have one.

[Tow Truck]

Have seen first time tow trucks are being used for such bringing cupcakes for people. I could not even think that tow trucks can also be sued for such services.

One of the best things about food trucks is that you get the opportunity to try out delicious food without having to travel far. But another thing good about this one is that it’s designed to appeal to kids and kids at heart! It’s playful, colorful, and fun. Anyway, back to the cupcakes, I wish I can taste their mouth-watering Chocolate Chocolate cake, since I'm a chocolate-lover! :3

The last time I attended a car show, I don’t know if you would believe me, but there’s a powder-blue vintage ice cream truck there. It was actually the center of attraction! I dunno, maybe because it’s very unusual for car show enthusiasts to see something like that. It was a bit weird, it’s fabulously weird!

@Angelica! Yes, these food trucks have the design that would probably capture the attention of people, not just kids, but the kids at hearts as well. :p When I was young, I used to wait for the ice cream truck to pass by our house. My day wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t get to buy ice cream and see the cute truck! :))

Hi, Are you well?

I think it is very useful and information able details about website on watkinslynn.typepad.com.Now a days it is a remarkable site for all the people.This site help us many way.I always love this site.I would like to thank you for the initiatives you have created content. You can adhere to me by my best Some people have bad opinions about pickups provided on group marketing at Salvage volvo, considering that many of the styles on group team group community public auction are already poorly broken and with comprehensive problems. While this can be real, not all styles were poorly managed and irresponsibly used by their past entrepreneurs. Actually, there is some Auction for pickups that are a little bit used with low usage, and they look like product new; they are also in ideal handling situation, yet they are still well known at very low costs.

Thanks for your Romantic Article.
