A group of teenagers stand in front of a beige one-story house on a tree-lined street in Compton. Some are glued into their phones; others joke around and laugh. They’re waiting for crispy, powdered funnel cakes from Fun Diggity, which operates out of owner Cheyenne Brown’s home. A Lexus parks in front of Brown’s house, and a woman emerges from the car wearing expensive boots, jeans, and dark sunglasses. She breezes over to the window that serves as Fun Diggity’s funnel cake pickup station, looking as if she’s about to receive a birthday gift.
Brown a Compton-native and Fun Diggity’s chief funnel cake maker hands her a towering, deep-fried funnel cake dusted with powdered sugar, fresh berries, scoop of vanilla ice cream, generous swirls of whipped cream, and strawberry sauce. As she places the dessert into her customer’s hands, she says, “Have a fun diggity day!”
