Traditional Chimney Cake Workshop Tickets

In a 1-hour hands-on class, bake your own traditional Kürtőskalács with expert Hungarian hosts.

Getting started

Arrive at the Budapest workshop on Ipar utca 11. Head inside and down to the basement-level studio, where your host gives a brief intro and outlines the steps. Dough is prepped in advance so you can get straight to shaping and baking.

What to expect

Hungary’s beloved chimney cake is made from sweet yeast dough wrapped on a wooden spit and baked until the sugar caramelizes. In this session, you’ll learn the authentic technique and make a warm, fresh Kürtőskalács to enjoy.

• Traditional wrapping: Practice rolling and spiraling dough onto your own wooden spit, guided by Hungarian instructors.

• Caramelization in the oven: See how slow rotation turns sugared dough into crisp, golden ridges with a soft interior.

• Flavor finish: Choose classic coatings, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, coconut, or walnut, for your just-baked pastry.

• Certificate: Leave with a completion certificate as a souvenir of your Budapest baking experience.
