What's a 'funnel cake'??

I just answered a question about your favourite foods to eat at the fair, and so many people said 'funnel cakes'.

What are they? I'm from Australia and I've never heard of them at all, now i'm curious!

Thanks everyone!!

    A Funnel Cake is fried dough with powdered sugar sprinkled on it. We're talking massive pieces of fried dough (depends on which carnival you're at). And a little tip: Funnel Cakes are delicious, just don't eat too much of it before you get on a ride, the results are horrible

    a funnel cake is a fried cake made by pouring flour batter out from a funnel into boiling conola or corn oil, they are brown and crispy and look kind of like a brain, they taste really good with powdered sugar and a little fruit of syrup would never hurt

    It is dough that is fried and has powdered sugar or fruit on or in it.

    its kind of like donut or cake batter and they pour it into fat and fry it, then sprinkle powdered sugar in it and then out strawberries or apples and whipped cream. they are tasty for a few bites, but very greasy

    Here's a description of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_cake

    It's basically just batter that is poured in a circular motion over hot oil and fried. When done, it's commonly topped with powdered sugar but can also be topped with whipped cream and strawberries. It's really good!
