MISTY’S SALTED CARAMEL - Melbourne VIC
Hi there. I’m Misty, the founder and Queen Caramel Chef at Misty’s Salted Caramel.
When I started making salted caramel as gifts for my friends and family, I could never have foreseen the journey that lay ahead. Years… and countless thousands of jars of caramel later, I feel like one of the lucky ones. I got the opportunity to quit my day job and follow my dream: To build my own successful business, and to craft the finest salted caramel available anywhere.
Now ‘Misty's Salted Caramel’, is stocked in more than 170 stores across Australia and Singapore and we’re growing every day. You may even have encountered my caramel oozing happily inside your favourite dishes at your local cafe, restaurant, or bakery. My business is a proud participant in our collective national obsession with all things fine and all things food.
I’ve put a whole bunch of love and time and care into each and every one of those little jars and I’m really proud of what I’ve delivered. Thanks for taking the time to drop in on my labor of love. I hope my Salted Caramel brings a smile to your face.
