Funnel Cake in Switzerland – Food Truck Happy Days
Funnel cake arrives in Switzerland
The funnel cake is an emblematic specialty of fairs and festivals in the United States. Very popular on the other side of the Atlantic, this dessert is virtually non-existent in Switzerland, especially in the food truck version.
From 2026, the Happy Days food truck will be offering funnel cake at festivals and events in Switzerland.
What is a funnel cake?
Funnel cake is a deep-fried pastry.
The dough is drizzled directly into the hot oil, forming a crisp, irregular cake. After baking, it is usually served with powdered sugar or various toppings.
Funnel cake is not a waffle, churro or doughnut.
It’s a specialty in its own right, an integral part of American fairs and major events.
An American fairground specialty still rare in Switzerland
In the United States, funnel cake can be found at all the major fairs, amusement parks and festivals.
In Switzerland, this product is still very rarely offered, if at all, particularly in food trucks.
The Funnel Cake Happy Days food truck concept aims to introduce this specialty to the Swiss market, in a format suited to festivals: fast, visual and high-volume.
