Chimney Cake Workshop
The Art of Chimney Cake: Roll, Bake & Smile!
The Kürtőskalács – also known as chimney cake – is one of the oldest and most beloved Hungarian desserts. It originates from Transylvania (Székely Land), back when the region was part of historic Hungary. The first written recipes date back to 1784. Traditionally, it was baked over charcoal and the dough wasn’t even sweet! Over the last 250 years, the recipe has evolved, and today chimney cake is enjoyed in countless creative ways – just think of the ice cream-filled version! Whether you travel to Europe, the U.S., or Asia, chances are you’ll come across this irresistible spiral-shaped treat.
Now you don’t just have to taste it – you can bake it yourself!
Join our hands-on chimney cake workshop in the heart of Budapest and learn how to make this crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside pastry from scratch. We’ll guide you through the entire process – from kneading the dough to rolling, shaping and baking. Choose your favorite toppings (like cinnamon, walnut, or cocoa), and enjoy your freshly baked dessert with a drink in hand. This class is fun, delicious, and full of sweet memories.
Perfect for families, friends, company team buildings, and anyone curious about Hungarian cuisine.
No baking experience required – just bring your enthusiasm!
