Saucy Funnel Cake Desserts

Zaxby's Has a New Funnel Cake with Caramel Sauce for Summer

Zaxby's is marking the official start of summer 2023 with a delicious new dessert: Funnel Cake with Caramel Sauce.

For those unfamiliar, funnel cake is a cake made up of deep-fried batter and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. The treat is popular at carnivals, amusement parks, and county fairs across the U.S., making it inevitably tied with the summer season. Zaxby's new Funnel Cake with Caramel Sauce takes this summer staple and adds a tasty twist. The new dish consists of light, fluffy batter fried until golden brown, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and then paired with a side of Caramel Sauce for dipping.

The new Funnel Cake with Caramel Sauce dessert is available now for a limited time.
