Downtown Greenville’s Smallest Restaurant Makes World’s Largest Funnel Cake

Downtown Greenville’s smallest restaurant is now serving the world’s largest funnel cake.

“Funnelicious” owner Mike Pennington is the mastermind behind this giant fried creation and proudly offers it on his menu as the “Mega Danny Cake” measuring 17 inches in diameter and served in a large pizza box to accommodate its generous size.

Like all of Pennington’s funnel cakes, diners can top the “Mega Danny” with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, chocolate syrup, and even frozen yogurt. Orders may be placed online or in-store via iPad.

According to Pennington, Funnelicious has applied with the Guinness Book of World Records to make the world’s largest funnel cake an official record. The application process to secure an official record takes several weeks to complete, and acceptance of proposals for the World Record book is highly competitive, but Pennington and his sweets producing team are confident that they will be successful with their application. University of South Carolina MGMT 479 students assisted Pennington on the project.

“We have done a lot of research on how the record process,” Pennington said. “We know we have the largest funnel cake out there and we think this is unique enough for the record books.”

Funnelicious is located at 155 Augusta Street  across the street from Flour Field and is open seven days a week. Along with in-house dining and the world’s largest funnel cake, they also offer customized catering and party space rental.
