Just down the road from Patriot Park, you can find the Funnel Cake Factory churning out its lavish sweets all day long. This low-key Pigeon Forge eatery makes it its mission to dream up the most creative ways to serve sugary goodness year-round.
Their funnel cakes are the star of the show, of course, boasting big flavor and an incredibly crunchy texture. Even when served with just a little bit of powdered sugar on top, these fried cakes will leave you wanting more, more, more.
As if that’s not enough, they happily elevate their cakes’ flavors by topping them with strawberries, peaches, and other flavorful fruits. You can even get yours covered in Fruity Pebbles if you wish. Beyond that, Funnel Cake Factory completes its creations with much more than a dollop of whipped cream plus a generous drizzle of chocolate sauce, caramel, or other decadent syrups.
If funnel cake is not your style, stop in for a banana split, ice cream cone, or brownie sundae if you dare. They put just as much care into whipping up those items, making sure that you love each one from the first to the last bite.
The most popular sweet treats at the Funnel Cake Factory include:
Ice Cream Cones and Cups
When you want to cool it down, go for an Ice Cream Cone or Cup made just how you wish. They only carry the best flavors from Mayfield Ice Cream, available in single, double, or triple scoops. Once you get your favorites piled high, ask for sprinkles and other toppings to get the whole experience.
Brownie Sundae
The Brownie Sundae stands a mile high and features all the best dessert flavors you could ever ask for. It all starts with a massive dose of chocolate in the form of a fresh-baked brownie. Then, they add whatever ice cream you wish before putting another brownie on top. Over all of that comes the whipped cream and chocolate sauce galore to finish it off right.
Strawberry Funnel Cake
With its colossal pile of sugary strawberries in the center, the Strawberry Funnel Cake is a definite fan favorite. This iconic dessert starts with a perfectly fried funnel cake covered in powdered sugar. Then, they add berries galore plus a considerable serving of whipped cream to bring all the flavors together in style.
Deep-Fried Oreos and Twinkies
If you adore Oreos and Twinkies, you’re going to love what they do with them here. First, they throw the cookies and cakes in their sweet batter and then plop them into the deep fryer until golden brown. When they come out, they are ooey-gooey in the center and perfectly crisp along the outside. You won’t regret giving them a try.
If you want to take a little piece of the Funnel Cake Factory home with you, ask for a bag of their popcorn. You can get it dusted in a savory cheese powder or amp up the sweetness even more with their caramel corn. Or you can always go for the plain butter popcorn if you want to keep it simple. Both small and large sizes are available, so you can get as much or as little as you want.
