What is Funnel Cake?

[theverynk]

I tried my first one this last trip - I wasn't that impressed. They were ok, but not as tasty as all the hype they get. They are just batter with sugar.

I think funnel cakes are a subjective experience. I personally prefer a fluffier fried dough (like you can only get in New England or New Orleans I'm finding out).

I personally think if you prefer fluffier donuts, you will not be overwhelmed by a funnel cake. If you prefer the thicker cake type donuts, you will love funnel cakes.

I would try one as a snack, but, be warned, it's heavy. They are tasty no doubt, but, to me, it's too heavy as the batter is rather thin and the grease seems to eminate throughout it. But then again, I'm the type of person that orders an order of Bengiets (sp) at POFQ "to go" with an extra bag just to take out the bengiets (sp) and have only a small coating of powdered sugar on them and keep my fluffy/non overly loaded with sugar delicious goodness in.

Look back earlier in the thread, Post #4, for the answer to your question. As well as a nice picture of a Funnel Cake.

I live about 10 mins from Ocean City. I could just eat that stuff from one end of the boardwalk to the other.

And you also have salt water taffy and Copper Kettle Fudge!!!!!

(We live about an hour from the shore)

To me, a funnel cake is something that must be avoided at all costs - the same goes with cinnebon (sp?). I'm no healthy eater but the smell of these if just so over powering that they just smell really unhealthy and they are HUGE. My stomach just can't take it (or is it that my mind wont let my stomach take it?).

Funel cake, tastycake, pretzel cones at the shore...the best reasons to live in Jersey.

P.S. If they say the cake is hot, wait before you try to eat it. It gets my kids everytime.

Except TastyCake is a Philly institution!

Funnel cake is doughy heaven!

Cinnabon is so tasty, but have you ever watched them make them, when they layer in the gobs and gobs and gobs of butter?

The only time I eat Cinnabons is on a trip HOME from WDW. It has become a tradition with me and my kids. They love them, and most of the time if I am out and they want one, I get them one, and I just sit and watch them eat it. However there is that cinnabon place in MCO by the Continental gates. We get off the monorail and the smell just hits you. We know we have time to kill before the plane, so that has become Cinnabon time.

:lol:Yes, they are VERY messy! Also, do not try to eat an entire one by yourself. You might not feel very well about half an hour later!

and/or go on a simulator or rollarcoaster afterwards!!!

Oh and also, I think you can get them in America at WS
