Last year, I came to the conclusion that I don’t actually dislike desserts, like I originally thought, but rather, I’ve been eating a whole bunch of lousy desserts which haven’t wowed me in any way.
Of course everyone knows about my love affair with Meringue Bake Shop and now, I possibly am starting another one with the Bakery Truck.
I first tried the Bakery Truck at the Drive Out Hunger charity event back in November and since then, whenever I’ve seen them around, I can’t help but stop by and get something. I’ve tried everything they’ve had to offer and what is so amazing about them is that they do all the baking on the truck.

Cupcakes and cream puffs are baked in the two professional grade ovens and if you are every lucky enough to step inside the truck you will notice how bright and shiny and immaculately clean it is.
What sets these baked goods apart from the other cupcake trucks is that the cupcakes are frosted when the order is put in. Cream cheese frosting is freshly piped onto the cupcakes making it soft and creamy rather than hard from sitting around too long.

The same goes for the cream puffs. They are filled to order so you can be sure the puffs are still crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, not soggy from the filling soaking into the puff portion.
Cupcakes are $3 each or $17/half dozen or $33/dozen. Some of the popular flavors include red velvet, vanilla and lemon. Different cupcakes are featured every single day. lemon coconut
One of my favorites is the lemon raspberry. A lemon cupcake is smothered with a raspberry jam topping and then cream cheese frosting is piped on top of that. In fact, I like any of the lemon cupcakes except the coconut since I’m not a fan of desiccated coconut.
Carrot cake is nice too with the cream cheese frosting and a sprinkling of crush nuts on top. Vanilla birthday cake is very cute dipped lightly with sprinkles on top. This definitely appeals to the child in each and every one of us.
Cupcakes aside, the reason I come to the Bakery Truck is for their cream puffs. These choux pastries are filled with a delicious custard and then topped with a luscious cream, sometimes, with additional goodies such as nutella and banana, my son’s favorite. However, my favorite is the original. Cream puffs are $4 but worth every single penny.

With desserts like these, even a non-believer like me can be swayed to enjoy a sweet treat here and there. If you see the Bakery Truck somewhere, make sure to stop and grab something. You won’t regret it.

I still am not crazy about desserts. I can take it or leave it. However, seriously good desserts will entice me to try and maybe even, eat a little more than just 2-3 bites 🙂
I also love their dessert shots and chocolate chip cookies. Yum!
