Unlicensed Cupcake Truck Kicked out of Pelham

A Pelham city official ordered the operator of a Homewood's Dreamcakes bakery truck to leave the city after ascertaining that the truck did not have a city of Pelham business license. This was the bakery’s first time sending a mobile food truck to Pelham to sell cake, after receiving requests by local residents to bring their baked goods closer to home.

Potential customers, who had been waiting in line at the time the driver received the order to leave, claimed that the city employee refused to tell the vendor how to come into compliance in order to legally be allowed to sell cupcakes in Pelham.

City officials claim that the truck was not only in violation of failing to purchase a mobile food truck license, but as Stan Diel details in Alabama Live, the truck “wasn't registered to collect and pay local sales tax, and was in violation of zoning regulations that bar sales from the parking lot of an existing business.”

Dreamcakes owner, Jan Moon, says that they don’t plan on sending the mobile truck back to Pelham again.
