About SLO Mama Sweets VINTAGE ICE CREAM TRUCK & GELATO CART CATERING SERVICES
After running my own apparel manufacturing company, then spending many years baking wedding cakes and desserts, I was ready to reveal a different side of my creativity. It was my desire to pursue a career on the Central Coast in which I could teach a strong work ethic to my children, instill the concept of “giving” and at the same time and incorporate some fun! Post inspiration, it took several years of dreaming, planning and building until our “Baby” was born~ a fully restored 1954 vintage ice cream truck. With the glorious sounds of 1940’s big bands and early 1950’s music and lovely jingling of our brass bells, we hope you will be transported to a dreamy time gone by as you enjoy our tasty frozen treats.
This year another dream has come true! I am delighted to introduce you to our brand new luxury artisan gelato cart “Tink”! With exquisite golden capped wells, accents and a dreamy white bicycle, you and your guests can enjoy scoops of locally made artisan gelato! Currently we serve both options along the California coast from OC,LA, Santa Barbara, Central Coast and beyond.
With the magical experience of hearing the ice cream truck coming and the thoughts of it’s delightful contents or the anticipation of receiving your mouthwatering scoop of delicious gelato from our gorgeous cart, we hope to help create enchanting memories for you and your guests. Whether your event is elegant, casual, corporate or rustic chic, it would be our pleasure to provide a sweet taste of the past, serving you delicious ice creams and gelatos in our own unique style.
With Scoops of love!
