There we bought a mobile potato bakery and worked only one nares ,Within a few months we built it up to a very well known, popular, profitable business. Our homemade toppings have proved to be a hit by all our customers. In 1994 we became friends with a German executive chef and decided to open a Gelato cafe. He taught us the art of making Gelato & Sorbet which was absolutely fascinating to me, and I just loved it. So, we worked with him for a while, the business became well known in Coffs Harbour. After we sold our business we travelled to Queensland and settled down in Brisbane until we moved to the Sunshine Coast and opened our own Gelato Cafe. Unfortunately we had to sell it when the GFC crusts hit all the business in the region. Back in Brisbane we met the Scimone family, who are fourth generation Gelato making family from Italy. Thats the time when Gelato Bar was born and became a well known Gelato business. We only use Gelato and Sorbet made by Delizia, a company of the Scimone family. " |
