Frost & Fig

29/07/2024

To my and wonderful customers of Port Hedland, it is with great sadness that I have to announce Frost & Fig’s doors will be closing permanently. This was not an easy decision to make however deep in my heart I know it was the right one for my business as I can’t give it the time and attention it deserves. There was so much more I wanted to do with F&F. I had big dreams and well, I guess it’s not the end forever. Just the end for now.

It has been the most incredible journey getting here, starting out from a little trestle table and carting chest freezer on a sack trolley in the Boulevarde shopping centre and West End Markets to a fully mobile food van business. I was able to take my dream of wanting to create healthier and still delicious gluten free ice cream alternatives for my children and share it with the people around me, to then fulfilling my dream of starting my own food van and sharing my love of healthy delicious takeaway food options with the world, whilst perfecting the most delicious handcrafted gluten free ice creams that could be enjoyed by people from all walks of life. I am so grateful my 3 children were able to witness my journey as a female entrepreneur running a small business alongside my role as their mum and a full time job whilst being my endless cheerleaders for every ‘faulty/defect’ ice cream or new flavours I was testing that they were able to enjoy along the way.

From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU... to my family who supported me endlessly day in & out. There are no words to fully express my gratitude to be able to live this dream of mine without you either by my side or on the other end of the phone. Thank you to my friends, community, and my wonderful customers!! I wouldn’t have been able to do any of this without your support! As Frost & Fig closes it’s doors my heart is full with all that I have gained along this journey. I will treasure every: lesson, interaction, new friends and old, customer, business who supported me (large & small), collaborator, and of course all the countless hours spent food prepping for huge catering events, recipe testing, admin, late nights individually hand coating ice creams after the kids were in bed, and all the successes and failures that got me to where I am today. I loved sharing this all with you so damn much!
I’ll still be in town, so I’ll see you around. SO SO much love!

HEY ALL!!

As you may have heard the disappointing news of last night’s event being cancelled.

I am trying to offload a lot of food as was expected to cater to 500 people. Lots of time was spending prepping for this event- I don’t want the food to go to waste!

Have pre-made some packs to purchase $20 each - cash , eftpos, or bank transfer.

- Vego taco packs (come with tortillas if you want)
- Chicken pineapple skewer packs

I also have bulk sour cream, salsa and guac. Perfect for a Sunday arvo and some drinks (what I’ll be doing today!).

I have SOOO much cooked chicken that needs to go today. Anyone wanting to take bulk or know anyone who needs it please message me to collect. It can be frozen but I don’t have the space. I have a lot in trays which are now cooked& frozen - can be reheated but need to be consumed within the next 24h.

BYO containers for anything else you want to grab.

First in best dressed. I will most likely have a cocktail in hand so will respond to messages when I can ! 🍹

Another Xmas party done and dusted. My biggest one so far catering for 500 people although no ice creams this year. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone, challenged me, and stressed me TF out but I bloody loved it and couldn’t have done it so well without my superstar tribe of helpers in & out of the van.

Running a small business as a mum of 3 young babes is not an easy feat, lots of things take a back seat when prepping for an event this large (like my washing!) and lots of help in and out of house & van is needed to make things run smoothly. It’s a sh*tload of work but super rewarding being able to live out my dream of running my very own business, serving my community with healthy and delicious food that is made fresh with love and of course as always is gluten free!!

Thanks to my TOP supporters : my hubby, who took the reigns with the kids when I had to do hours and hours of food prep, my mum - a wealth of knowledge running a food business and helping my mum brain crunch numbers when I just can’t 😵‍💫and of course my family for eating endless leftovers and putting up with my stress, worry, and moods from being so exhausted! And my super star chopper Emily even if you don’t want to chop another tomato again or cry tears from onions Megan- I appreciate you!) mum friends who cheer me on, ask me if I need a hand with the kids or anything really, who are just there to tell me I’ll do great, or come and eat my food, and also eat my endless leftovers! You are the best! And of course, my helpers on the day - Megan, Lee Amy, & Emma. We absolutely smashed it together and had such a great rhythm and got along so well it was super fun working alongside you. 👏🏼💪🏼Last but not least - my customers who eat my food! This is for you! Thanks for your support it means the world and makes it all worth while
❤️🫶🏼
