Funnel Cakes For Everyone!

26 May

Who doesn’t love funnel cake right?  On a hot summer day in Orlando, nothing goes down quite as well as a really sugary sweet funnel cake, especially with plenty of ice cream topping!

My favorite place to enjoy a great funnel cake at Disney World is the American Pavilion at Epcot:

Now I have to say this but the Disney funnel cakes are like my kids – I simply do not have a favorite – I love them all equally!  As long as they have ice cream on them and copious amounts of powdered sugar, then count me in.  Look at these little babies and let the drooling begin!

Here we have your basic funnel cake with no frills – powdered sugar and lots of it.  These are great in a pinch, maybe when it is just too hot out and the ice cream would melt to fast.  This one also does well if you need to eat it quickly to ensure that you get in line to ride the Maelstrom before the lines get too long.

Here we have the mid-level funnel cake with a few more bells and whistles.  This beauty has a delicious chocolate swirl, lots of whipped cream and is actually piled high with two cakes instead of one.  This cake is for the times when you will be sharing and you have a little more time to spare.  Of course on a windy day you want to stay away from this model or else you’ll end up wearing more of it that you will be eating it.

Ok here is the Cadillac of the funnel cakes.  Here you have the strawberry compote drizzled graciously all over the cake!  You not only have the vanilla ice cream on it, but the ice cream is also covered in a Mickey Mouse shaped whipped cream dollops!  There is absolutely no sharing of this baby!  This is to be strictly eaten by by yourself and is to be flaunted in from of as many people as possible.  Of course you will be totally sick the minute you finish, but it is worth every minute of it!

If you can’t tell, I love funnel cake, and if you’ve never had one at Disney, well you’re missing out on a legend!

I’ll see ya real soon at the American Pavilion in line for the funnel cake.  I’ll be the guy with powdered sugar all over his face and fingers and will be in line for probably my third funnel cake!  Please don’t laugh out loud!
