Budapest Kurtos Kalacs Cooking Class (Hungarian Chimney Cake Making)

Make Traditional Hungarian Chimney Cakes

Begin your chimney cake making experience at Kató Néni Finomságai, conveniently located near St. Stephen's Basilica. Learn about the characteristics and making process of Kurtos Kalacs from your instructor before diving into handling the dough yourself. Stretch the dough into long, thin strips, wrap them spirally around a special spit, and coat with sugar. As it bakes, the sugar caramelizes, creating the signature crispy and sweet exterior of the chimney cake.


Create 3 Chimney Cakes

You'll get to make three chimney cakes each. After baking, customize your cakes with various toppings such as sugar, coconut, or cinnamon to suit your taste.

Enjoy your freshly baked chimney cakes warm, or pack them in the provided bags to take away. Coffee or water is also served, allowing for a more relaxed enjoyment of your homemade dessert.


Receive a Recipe and Certificate

Upon completion of the experience, you'll receive a certificate and a recipe along with your handmade chimney cakes. Use the skills learned in Budapest to recreate Hungarian chimney cakes at home after your trip.
