What are Chimney cakes?
Chimney cakes, or Kürtőskalács, are sweet, cylindrical pastries that originate from Hungary and other Central European countries. They're made by wrapping a strip of dough around a specially designed rolling pin, which is then baked over an open flame or hot coals. This method gives them a deliciously crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
Once baked to golden perfection, they’re often rolled in a variety of toppings such as cinnamon sugar, chopped nuts, or coconut. The real magic happens when you fill them with delightful goodies like whipped cream, chocolate, or even ice cream! Perfect as a fun treat at fairs, markets, or any festive gathering, chimney cakes are the sweetest way to bring a bit of joy to your day!
At A R Chimney Cakes, we add an American twist to Hungarian cakes. We bake them in a rotating oven and coat them in cinnamon sugar. Enjoy them plain or customize with your favorite fillings and toppings as we offer multiple choices. We also have the chimney cannoli. You can also try our savory options like chimney dog, garlic parmesan or pretzel chimney cakes.
