Whenever I return home from vacation, there’s always something from the trip that I wish I could recreate at home to make it feel like summer all year round. I’m always inspired by the foods that I enjoy while at certain destinations! So today, inspired by a beach vacation, we partnered with Homewood Suites by Hilton to create a favorite boardwalk snack—funnel cake—and show you how to make your own mini version at home with a festive spin!

great video! I did not know it was possible and so simple to make homemade funnel cakes! where do you recommend purchasing a funnel and squeeze bottle? 🙂
Wow. I never see this cakes before. It’s look like very simple and very delicious. I’ll try ! Best regards.
Hi, Joy! How are you? 🙂
Oh, in Brazil we have something similar, but we fry it like little balls – we call it “bolinho de chuva” (like “rain doughnut”, haha). But funnel cake seems much more fun to make, I’d like to try it once! 🙂
Also, great video! I love how you speak so articulate ♥
XOXO
That sounds delicious!!
