funnel cake stand

Carnival dough vendor

A funnel cake stand is a booth or kiosk at fairs, carnivals, and amusement parks that sells funnel cakes—fried dough pastries made by drizzling batter through a funnel into hot oil.

These stands are fixtures of American fairground culture, typically offering the cakes dusted with powdered sugar or topped with fruit and whipped cream: We stopped at the funnel cake stand after the Ferris wheel.
