Wooly's Ice wins Best Dessert (credit: NYSF)

Update - Just heard from Danny, and they hit a snag with their opening.  They will be back out very soon, and we will keep you updated on exactly when.

Last year’s Vendy Award Winner for Best Dessert, Wooly’s Ice, will be coming out of hibernation and kicking off their season on Tuesday, May 1st.

Danny (middle of photo) from Wooly’s Ice told us about some changes in store for this season, including their location and a new menu item.

Cupcake Crew has been around the streets of NYC since late 2010, and are easy to spot with their distinctive black and pink truck.  But the nicest looking truck won’t last if the food being served is not up to snuff, and Cupcake Crew delivers on that front.  They were Best Dessert Finalists at the 2011 Vendy Awards, and you’re about to see why, if you haven’t already tried them.

Crowdfunding is coming to the food truck world with a bang.

We recently told you about the Snap Truck raising the last $10,000 they needed to get their truck on the street via Kickstarter.

Now we hear Dessert Truck, the two-time Vendy Award Finalist, is looking to raise money for packaging to get their products into grocery stores.  We had their warm chocolate bread pudding w/vanilla custard sauce at the 2010 Vendy Awards, and it was spectacular!

Everybody raves about the savory food at The Cinnamon Snail, as well they should, with Adam & crew having two Vendy Award nominations under their belt.

But at the 2011 Vendy Awards, The Cinnamon Snail won the Maker’s Mark Challenge for a dessert.  People attending the event voted Adam’s vanilla bourbon creme brulee donuts as the best use of Maker’s Mark bourbon in a recipe.

So in addition to great vegan food, Adam is also a master baker.  That should come as no surprise since a cinnamon snail is actually a pastry, but it’s no mean feat when you can’t use eggs.  The window on the truck (above) looked wonderful, so I asked for a sample of different baked goodies and let them choose for me.
