Chimney Cake Workshop, Budapest

5.00This was one of our favourite activities that we did whilst we were visiting Budapest. Our guide, Nina, was superb teaching us exactly step by step how to put together our chimney cake, and then helping us cook it and prepare it, before we ate it! Refreshments were on offer throughout and the opportunity to take pictures both during the process and with our finished products. I would highly recommend this activity.
