Funnel cakes are an age-old favourite served at the fairgrounds, reminding of warm summer days and sweetness and decadence. It is in this modern food-centric culture that presentation is being equally important to taste. As in the case of cafes and event caterers, it is possible to use creative methods of serving funnel cakes to make a regular dessert a scene stealer. These are just some of the creative ways to present funnel cakes, which is very appealing to the eyes and the taste buds.

 

Contemporary Plating to a Gourmet Boutique

 

Contemporary plating styles can turn funnel cakes that are commonly found on the streets to fancy desserts by cafes that aim to take funnel cakes to a higher level. Rather than conventional paper plate and powdered sugar, mini funnel cakes are served on slate board or marble plates. Drizzle with fancy toppings like salted caramel, raspberry coulis or dark chocolate ganache as a fancy topping. Fresh mint and candied citrus peels or garnishing with edible flowers make the plate pretty, and a single plate is Instagram-worthy.

 

Mini Funnel Cake Towers Event Company

 

To make such things as wedding, party, or corporate events, it is a funnel cake tower which is aesthetically pleasing. Layers of the smaller-sized funnel cakes with dissimilar flavor or topping in every layer. To alternate layers of whipped cream, fruit compotes and chocolate topping, and then add a garnish as a fancy topper, such as spun sugar or a personalized flag. Besides appearing magnificent, the towers are easily shared between guests.

 

Themed Funnel Cake Bars

 

Interactive food booths are an up-and-coming popular trend in events, and a funnel cake bar would fit this trend very well. Place a table on which the visitors will have the opportunity to prepare their funnel cakes with various toppings including fresh berries, nuts, flavored syrups, crushed cookies and scoops of ice cream. It is also exciting and customized to provide themed editions such as tropical paradise with mango and coconut or classic carnival with chocolate and sprinkles.  This arrangement will stimulate participation and make the experience to be an unforgettable one to the guests.

 

Seasonal and Festive Changes

 

Addition of seasonality to funnel cakes allows them to be used throughout the year. During autumn they are to be drizzled with pumpkin spice glaze and caramelized apples. During winter holidays, they are to be sprayed with cinnamon sugar and accompany them with a cup of hot chocolate. Fruity toppings like strawberry, lemon or blueberry compote may be served throughout the autumn and summer events. The cafes can also refresh their menu by alternating the flavors, decorations every season so that it may not seem old.

 

Funnel Cakes Sundaes and Parfaits

 

Make funnel cakes in layers to make them a modern twist. Cut them into bite-sized and serve parfaits in glass jars with ice cream, whipped cream and sauces. Alternatively, a warm funnel cake with scoops of gelato, nuts, drizzle is a combination of hot and cold, the ideal body. All these versions are appealing and in-pocket to serve in events on-the-go.

 

Conclusion

 

Even the simplest of foods can be made creative through presentation and come out a signature food worth writing about, in the case of funnel cakes. Cafes and event planners can truly revamp this old favorite whether it be in gourmet presentation, interactive bars, or theme desserts because there is unlimited room to redesign this age-old favorite. Funnel cakes may no longer be only a dessert- they may also be an experience that each guest remembers.
