What are you passionate about? Well, how long do you have? It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m interested in a whole lot of stuff, nor to add that more than a few of those things even garner “passionate about it” status. However, today I wanted to focus in on a particular, one might even say lighthearted, passion of mine, funnel cake.

Now, if you’re looking at those last words and scratching your head, just hang on a minute and I’ll explain. I like funnel cake, and no you didn’t read that wrong. I don’t love it, I like it. The real passion I guess, is more about what has recently become a hunt for said funnel cakes. For you see, where I live funnel cake has been rather hard to find, elusive even.

Please don’t start commenting on how easy it is to make one, nor how it’s super easy to find where you are. Neither of those things are particularly helpful in my quest.

It used to be easy to get here too, until a crepe craze seems to have wiped it off the map. True I could probably find it in a big theme park, but who has that kind of money to spend on funnel cake? If the ticket price didn’t get you, the $15 (if not higher) cost of the snack would.

I’m not even looking for anything super fancy, just the basic swirly shape, dusted with powdered sugar. Still, it’s no where to be found. True, some fast food places now offer funnel fries, but it’s not quite the same.

So, for now, the hunt goes on. Anyone have any helpful suggestions? Just where has all the funnel cake gone?
