In honor of National Funnel Cake Day on July 16, Carowinds is hosting a competition in which guests can submit an original funnel cake recipe. Until Friday, July 8, Carowinds offers the opportunity for culinary novices to enter into our funnel cake recipe contest for a chance to win a prize package as well as the opportunity for the recipe to be featured in-park from July 16 to August 16 at South Gate Funnel, and possibly other locations.
The Carowinds’ culinary team invites guests to submit their most creative funnel cakes recipes - over-the-top flavors and outrageous toppings are highly encouraged.
The winning recipe will be announced on Saturday, July 16, on National Funnel Cake Day. The announcement will be hosted at Carowinds on the Harmony Hall stage, and live streamed on the Carowinds-owned social media outlets. The winner will participate in a live cooking demonstration during the announcement.
