Funnel cake-like things


Posted: Nov 13, 2015

When I was a child, mom had this iron-thing that you would dip into a sweet pancake type batter and put it in hot grease.  Once done, off would come the crispy thing in different shapes-butterflies, etc.  Then she would dip them in confectioner's sugar.  Does anyone know what this is called and can you still buy them?  I know, I was so technical in my description LOL.

Funnel cake iron - c.k.

Just google "funnel cake iron." I did and found Walmart has a set with a fryer and irons called Babycakes Funnel Cake Fryer. There are other sites that sell just the iron.

They are called - Rosette Cookies

and you can get just the cookie iron on Amazon or other places. you don't need a special funnel cake frier to make these things.

here is a link.

Well, you've ruined me for the rest of the day. (sm) - YyY

Your question has resulted in my reminiscing about the funnel cakes I would get at the fair each year when I was growing up.  The fair and a local theme park are the only places I've ever had them.  It's probably been 28 years since I had one.   I remember wondering how anything could ever be more delicious than those funnel cakes.  By the time I would finish it, I was bloated and miserable and just wanted to go lie down under a shade tree, swearing to myself I never wanted to see a funnel cake ever again.   This routine was repeated over and over for years.   I am seriously craving one now ...... there are just no words.  Just so you know, I'm probably going to find myself at Walmart today purchasing a funnel cake maker gizmo.   By tonight, I'll be llying on the den floor, miserable from "funnel cake bloat."   Now see what you've set into motion?  Tongue out

LOL. You are thinking of those funnel cakes that are HUGE and awesome. Just had one at the Renassaince Fest. Someone did post and let me know that what I remember are cake "irons". They are made with a batter, you dip in the iron and fry them. They are small and very light and crispy. I was told to look at Walmart and and going to do that today! Yes, I ate that whole funnel cake and yes, I bloated up like a balloon but it was so worth it!!!!!

The share of total income going to the top 1 percent of earners, which stood at 8.9 percent in 1976, rose to 23.5 percent by 2007, but during the same period, the average inflation-adjusted hourly wage declined by more than 7 percent. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/business/17view.html?_r=1&hpw How are you doing?   Quite frankly, it would not kill the "rich" to go back to the 1990's tax rates.  Many have gotten even richer from sending jobs off shore and Wall St ...

So, when a Romney fundraiser costs $40,000 per person it's an outrage but when Obama has a $40,000 per person fundraiser it's okay.  It sure feels good to get that clarified.

Atomic CakeMar 25, 2013
In the Chicago Area some bakeries made an atomic cake.  It had various fillers of your choice including fudge, banana, strawberry, vanilla custard, etc.  My family always had one of these cakes if there was a birthday.  Here in Florida no bakeries make an atomic cake.  I really miss it! Of course, while I'm thinking about it there is no other than a Chicago Pizza in Florida.  Pizza Hutt just doesn't cut it.     ...

Atomic CakeMar 27, 2013

OPINIONS ABOUT WEDDING CAKEJun 30, 2010
My 25 DD is getting married next June.   She does not want to have a receiving line after the mass which is a Catholic ceromony because she said it is awkard.   So intead she would like to have a receving line at the reception where the guests line up and the bride and groom pass out the cake and then thank people for coming. I am totally against this but she said that is the way it is these days.

Anyone Know How To Temper A Whiskey Cake That Is Jan 12, 2014
Tried a new whiskey fruitcake recipe, made a slight error by adding 2 cups of dried fruit instead of 1, so the cake came out really dry. Found a suggestion to poke holes in it with a skewer and pour whiskey over the cake so it would go into the cake; do this every day for a week. The texture is now good, but the taste--whoooo, baby! Even with whipped cream it is too strong. Would it be possible use the same hole-poking technique using a sweet fruit juice or something? Would hate to toss it now. ...

Has Anyone Ever Baked A Cake In The Slow Cooker?Dec 11, 2015
Our oven is broke and I don't have a toaster oven.  The only thing I have is a slow cooker, foreman grill and waffle maker (the latter two of course will not work). LOL I am so craving some chocolate cake and I just found a recipe for mocha oatmeal cake, or brownies, cobbler or whatever. I've made cornbread in the slow cooker and it came out really good, but what about regular cakes?  Has anyone ever done one and if so do you know how long you would cook it for.  There ...

Anyone Have A Good Lemon Bread/cake RecipeDec 24, 2009
Okay, just made a lemon bread.  It is moist but not as lemony as I would like.  Safeway makes a good lemony cake (or bread) thing.  So moist and lemony and I'd like to make something similar.  This recipe I just made called for 3/4 c. lemon yogurt and 1 tablepoon lemon rind.  It is moist but not a real lemon flavor (faint lemon flavor).   I tried another recipe using a lemon cake and added a box of lemon pudding.  Again, most but not real lemony.   ...

Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee CakeApr 01, 2012
I just made the most scrumptious blueberry sour cream coffee cake. It was so moist and sweet, but not too sweet. DH told me it tasted like something we used to get in Germany. So I wanted to pass on the recipe if anyone is interested. I can't wait til later to have another piece. The recipe said to use a mixer, but I creamed the butter and sugar with a fork (my mixer is packed away), then I used a wire whisk to mix the rest. I also used a bundt pan, but am sure it could be made in ano ...

One Of These Things Is Not Like The OtherOct 04, 2016
The dedicated Trumpettes are rationalizing Trump's tax evasion by saying Clinton used the same loophole to avoid paying tax. In fact, I have used the same loophole when I was an independent contractor. Now here is why it is not the same. Trumps tax loss claimed is over 1 THOUSAND 3 HUNDRED TIMES (1300 times) Clinton's tax loss. In other words, Clinton claimed 0.07% of Trumps loss. Trump paid NO taxes and probably did not for 18 years. In contrast the Clinton's pai ...

Seeing Things On TV That I Am Thinking What?Jan 08, 2013
I saw 3 different things this morning that I am puzzled. First, people having baby ultrasounds in their homes inviting all the family for an ultrasound party to let them be the first (along with the couple) to view the baby. People doing the ultrasounds do tell the gender of the baby and that again is not 100% sure each time, even for people who routinely do ultrasound in medical settings. The people doing not medical, say no diagnosis of any kind made but as we all know not every pregnancy is a ...
