Funnel Cake Equipment & Supplies
Nothing says fun like a funnel cake. Whether it's at a fair or at home, making funnel cakes is an easy way to give kids or guests a tasty treat. There are many different types of funnel cakes and the equipment to make these fried dough concoctions is easy to find at Sam’s Club®. Whether it is a commercial funnel cake fryer or something a bit more simple, making funnel cakes has never been easier. Getting funnel cake supplies along with the tools to make the cakes is easier than ever. Now instead of wondering what to make for dessert, the answer is right there – funnel cakes.
What Ingredients are Used to Make Funnel Cakes?
There are no real secrets to making great funnel cakes. The ingredients are all found in the baking supply section of the Club. Flour is the main ingredient, followed by sugar, milk, salt and cooking oil. These ingredients are the base for any type of dough and essentially all there is to a funnel cake is the base recipe for a dough. These are usually the same ingredients to cakes as well, that’s why these ingredients can be found where cake supplies such as icing and sprinkles are as well. Don’t forget confectioner’s sugar though – this is perhaps the most important ingredient because it gives the funnel cake its distinctive look and flavor. The best method for spreading the confectioner’s sugar is to use a sifter. Sifters get a nice, even coating with no lumps in the sugar.
Do Funnel Cakes Need to be Fried?
The funnel cake is essentially fried dough. As a staple of carnivals and state fairs, funnel cakes achieve this status because they are easy to make thanks to the deep frying. Whether using a gas funnel cake fryer or an electrical model, it is imperative to get the funnel cakes in and out of the hot oil with precision. The crispness of the outside betrays a doughy, fluffy interior providing the perfect contrast. Baking a funnel cake isn’t the same because the supplies needed are different along with the process. The slowness of baking makes the dough rise gradually while preventing the crispness of the outer crust from forming, therefore the fryer is what makes funnel cakes a unique treat.
What are Some Occasions to Serve Funnel Cakes?
There are many different events that funnel cakes are appropriate. Make sure there are plenty of disposable plates, because they will get greasy and the sugar gets everywhere. Funnel cakes are perfect for a child’s birthday party or for an informal get together among adults. If the theme of the event has whimsy, then funnel cakes are the perfect sweet treat for people to dig into. The funnel cake is not very small, so it encourages sharing and conversation. While formal events probably are not the best forum for funnel cakes – the powdered sugar and oil could send formal wear to the dry cleaner – they are excellent for summertime get-togethers around the pool or a 4th of July celebration.
