Our Sweet Story
Fluffy Crunch is a fun, flavour packed experience that will get your inner child screaming for more. Our gourmet twist to this traditional carnival classic all started by incorporating powdered toppings like pure freeze dried fruits, crushed cookies, honeycomb and fun toppings like popping candy, sprinkles and edible glitter.
The Impetus
WIth over 15 years of hospitality experience we decided it was time to take the plunge and start our business.
With a passion for creating memorable customer experiences and a joy for the service industry we decided to create a funky cafe in our local area.
The journey begins...
The Rejection!
Simple plan but not as easy as we had thought.
Meeting after meeting we kept receiving the same message. According to the agents and the landlords, we weren't a suitable applicant because "we didn't have enough business experience".
The New Plan
Our solution was to start a part time experiment at the local markets and get the experience the landlords wanted.
In late 2015 we spent a few months brainstorming food and beverage concepts, everything from burgers to donuts, finally settling on an idea to revolutionise a traditional classic treat.
In the new year Fluffy Crunch was conceived and we started our first market.
The Edible Bouquet
Rather than using a traditional stick we elevated the gourmet experience, by creating our very own Fluffy Crunch Edible Bouquets.
This allowed us to serve our creations in their fluffiest form and kept all the fun toppings on the floss.
The Point of No Return
After seeing a huge demand at the local markets, ranging from excited children devouring their freshly spun fairy floss, to adults being blown away by our array of flavours and creations - we quickly reached a point where we had to decide what to do next.
We took a deep breath and you guessed it...we quit our jobs, abandoned the dream of starting our funky cafe and made a commitment to focus wholeheartedly on Fluffy Crunch.
A Sweet Thank You - The Party Favour
With increasing requests to be part of upcoming events, weddings and corporate gatherings, we struggled to facilitate the demand.
So we decided to give customers an opportunity to share a little piece of Fluffy Crunch in the form of our personalised petite party favours.
With the option to create your very own customised favour, together with our last minute alternatives, we have a solution that gives you more time to focus on your celebration while we take care of the rest.
