What To Expect

Chimney Cakes are one of the most famous Hungarian desserts/sweet street foods you can easily learn how to make them together with our expert workshop leaders who have years and years of experience in Hungarian Chimney Cake making. Our experience is unique, and the only one in Budapest! Come see our Kürtőskalács laboratory just under the Chimney Cake Shop. Our local experts will explain how the dough is made, and how to work it. You'll be walked through the steps of making a traditional Hungarian Chimney Cake recipe, and you'll learn about all the tricks and tips you must know to make it again at home! We make 3 Kürtőskalács, and we'll also bake them. Once they are ready, our guests can choose from different flavors to roll them into. Usually, the simple sugar, the coconut, and the cinnamon are available. Once everyone is ready with their Chimney Cakes, you'll receive paper bags to take your cakes away with you, and you'll also receive a printed recipe and a certificate from the host! After the Chimney Cake workshop, you can also order a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy some of your kürtőskalács with it at the tables of the cutest chimney cake shop.

Very disappointed. Poorly organised, a waste of time and money. Certificates were written half way through the workshop with incorrect dates that were scribbled out looking messy and unprofessional. There was no individual help given and the guide appeared overwhelmed and distracted. Cakes were left in the oven too long and ours were burnt. I was shocked that a small child was allowed to participate given their constant shouting and handling hot equipment. Overall a waste of time and money.
Fun activity

This was a fun and a great thing to do while in Budapest. Guide was not very engaging and we were there less than an hour. All in all - if you are looking for extras to occupy your time, this is fun.
Great activity for a group in Budapest

The instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable. She walked us through the process carefully providing positive feedback After we made the first cake we handled making two other cakes on our own. We were surprised how labor intensive it was to make the Chimney cake. Our Chimney cakes turned out perfectly, and delicious. We would highly recommend this fun activity for anyone interested in a unique experience in Budapest.
Excellent tuition and guidance

It was a super guided workshop that I can only recommend to anyone. You still learn a lot about the history of chimney cakes and end up with your three homemade copies.
100% recommended

From start to finish, the workshop was 34 minutes. I did not learn much about how chimney cakes came to be a dessert/snack in Budapest, or how to make the dough. It was a quick class on how to cut the dough into 3 pieces, roll them, place them properly to be baked, and cover in sugar. The dough was very hard after baking and could not be eaten after a couple of hours. While this was a quick and easy class to take, I wouldn’t recommend it as essential when visiting Budapest. I also thought the cost did not match the experience. In my opinion, this class should not have been more than $20-25 USD.
