Mobile Food Truck Business wins a new sparkling make-over with the latest BizGiver Small Business Grant.

In March 2016, two friends Karina and Vicky started their own Market and Festival business, Suga & Spice, after both enjoying sharing their love of cooking with each other.

“We both have a passion for food, especially the food our mums have taught us, as well as our own sweet creations,” explains Vicky.

Both coming from families who immigrated to Australia in the 70s’ (Karina’s family hailing from Chile, while Vicky’s family came from Egypt), have built their business around offering tailored menus for events, festivals and markets.

“Initially we started making Gingerbread house, Gluten-free chocolate and almond houses, biscuits, brownies and rocky road, catering on site.”

A short while later, Suga and Spice are operating a marquee at events, markets and now even a food van.

“Our goal in the next five years is to have upgraded from our van to a little ‘Suga & Spice’ Cafe,” states Vicky.

This goal is now even closer, thanks to the BizGiver Small Business Grant.
