Also, found in Googling funnel cake: NPR Kitchen Window where girls attempt funnel cake when mother isn't home, disaster ensues. It goes on: "Afterward, we got a shovel and buried the funnel cake in the backyard â€” where, in a rare burst of good judgment, we figured no one would think to look for it. I went back three times to check it, feeling sure some sort of spiral-shaped bare patch would bear witness to our ignominy in future years." I gotta say, if I bury a funnel cake, the reason I check back is to see if there's a funnel cake tree.

I see this as a dangerous gateway for you. First, it's the ice cream ball, then it's the funnel cake maker, and next thing you know it's you and Jack Lalanne doing push-ups in front of a studio audience with a thousand pallets sitting in a Juarez warehouse and those juicers aren't going to sell themselves…
