Egg Unlimited is based in Prahran, Victoria and employs over twenty people, all passionate about little foods.
Egg’s founder, Julie Parks, has been in hospitality for over thirty years. Working in some of Melbourne’s top kitchens and then in Europe, Julie has stayed true to her belief of creating handmade breads and canapés with the end customer in mind, enabling the public to consume elegant cocktail food with minimal fuss.
Established in 1997, Egg Unlimited commenced as a bespoke bakery, supplying miniature breads to Melbourne’s finest caterers and hotels. Egg established itself as a leading supplier of unique mini bread and pastry products, all handmade and baked in their custom made tins.
The demand for these little breads quickly grew and within twelve months, Egg released its first canapés range – the bread and pastry range filled with delicious and seasonal produce. From here, Julie and her Egg Unlimited team became known around Melbourne as ‘the people that do the little smoked salmon bagel’’. The little world of perfectly sized cocktail food had hit Melbourne and was the toast of the Spring Racing Carnival, the Grand Prix and every leading event in between.
By 1999 Egg had developed its sweet canapés range, a delectable feast of miniature sweet goodies that included the ever popular chocolate ganache cake with silver balls and uniquely shaped, perfectly portioned, pudding range. The popularity of the sweet range saw the Egg production grow with the demand for 8000 units per day.
No rest at Egg! In 2004 Julie devised the Deluxe Lunchbox range to refresh the tired old boardroom lunch. The Hamper range was to come in 2009 and with it more options for corporate lunches. Like the Lunchboxes, the Hamper range included classic Egg Unlimited flavours along with some new favourites. Both the Hamper and Lunchbox range has continued to develop, now including baby cakes and packaged canapé hampers for private entertaining.
In 2011, Egg Unlimited released its Wellbeing range. The philosophy of Wellbeing came from a desire to give people wholesome, delicious food. The Wellbeing range is incorporated across all Egg Unlimited product lines, from breads, sweets, lunchboxes and hampers and is an ever-growing list of items that focuses on seasonable, sustainable and positive eating.
