Tag Archives: Fernie’s Funnel Cake

Fernie’s Funnel Cakes, an enduring fixture at the State Fair of Texas for more than five decades, traces its roots back to 1969 when it first joined the fair as a humble vendor. Since then, it has evolved into an unmistakable symbol of delicious, deep-fried fairground cuisine. Proudly helmed by the dynamic sister-duo of Christi Erpillo and Johnna McKee, Fernie’s Funnel Cakes is now embarking on an exciting new venture: Fernie’s Funnel Cake Cream, a sumptuous wine-based cocktail inspired by their iconic carnival delight. Each 750 ml bottle of Fernie’s Funnel Cake Cream contains 13.9% alcohol volume and is available at an affordable retail price of $14.99 to $17.99 (retailer price will vary). The first bottles will be available at Central Market locations across North Texas this week with deliveries scheduled for Goody Goody, HEB and Spec’s in the following weeks. Attendees to this year’s State Fair of Texas can also enjoy this beverage at any of Fernie’s five stands scattered throughout the fairgrounds.
