We’ll guide you through the recipe step by step, showing you how to create the ideal balance: a crispy crust on the outside and a soft, fluffy inside. After learning the technique, you’ll have the chance to bake your own chimney cake and flavor it with options like cinnamon, vanilla sugar, walnut, or coconut.
Once you’ve mastered the art of chimney cake making, we’ll take you on a tour of Pest’s downtown, covering some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. You’ll see St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Parliament, the Shoes on the Danube Memorial, and enjoy a beautiful view of Buda Hill and the Chain Bridge.
