This chimney cake making experience was really fun and well organized. Everything was prepped for you, and the instructions were easy to follow, so it felt relaxed and beginner-friendly. You get to make three chimney cakes and choose your own flavours, which was a nice touch. The kitchen is set up in a U-shape and fits around 12 people, so it feels structured and efficient without being crowded. Overall, a short and enjoyable activity I’d recommend.

It was ok. Crowded space in a basement with very steep stairs. Sunflower oil is used. We made 3 chimney cakes and it was fun. No history given or narrative. Just made the cakes.

Cassie_H, May 2026

We had such a fun experience at Chimney Cake School! The instructor was incredibly patient and kind with my 7-year-old, which made the whole class so enjoyable and stress-free. We loved learning how to make the chimney cakes, and they turned out absolutely delicious. Such a memorable activity for families — highly recommend!

Yummy

Catalina_G, May 2026

Really fun and tasty experience! No cooking experience needed, but probably not the best of the little ones as the oven is very hot.

Hot and fresh!

Lee_M, May 2026

Easy and a lot of fun. If you like chimney cakes, which you will, just do it. It’s fast paced and you make 3 delicious chimney cakes fresh and hot!

Bianca was a great teacher!

Kristenstephan, Apr 2026

Bianca was a wonderful teacher and very patient with us novice chimney cake bakers. We had the opportunity to make three chimney cakes which was more than enough. They also offered 4 different topping options.. My son would have liked to have been able to try to make a cone chimney cake and add ice cream to it. Overall, it was a good family outing.

Tasty Take Away

Jon, Jan 2026

Excellent experience, I thoroughly recommend, it was great fun and a tasty take away too. It was a small shop, tucked away on a street near to St Stephen’s Basilica. The staff were very welcoming and spoke perfect English. We were given expert tuition to create three chimney cakes, and the even shared their own cake when one of the group’s cake fell apart.

very fun, a little kitchy but enjoyable. the experience allows you to make three chimney cakes, and gives you a bag to take them back with you. i enjoyed it and i think others would too.

Great experience in Budapest!

Nice classroom setup in basement of s chimney cake store. Made 3 cakes, and each progressively got better in quality. The teacher Tabitha was very knowledgeable and described the process clearly, so was easy to follow her directions. Very fun class!

Delicious and fun!

Caitlin_S, Dec 2025

I believe our teachers name was Kate or Katy, but she did a great job teaching us how to make Chimney cakes. I love that we got to make 3, so you could try different flavors and take pictures of your best one. She also offered a few separate times to take pictures, which was sweet.

Fun Time

Ayla_W, Oct 2025

Three of my friends and I went to this experience and had a fun time! I would definitely do it again. If you’re looking for something fun to do in Budapest, I’d highly recommend.

100% recommended

The cake workshop was really good. My friends and I had so much fun learning to make chimney cakes and the host was very good and patient with us. We can’t recommend this enough.

Nice experience, but felt...

Tanja_S, Oct 2025

Nice experience, but felt a bit rushed. Lasted less than an hour. Would have enjoyed hearing a bit about the history of chimney cakes as others described. A bit overpriced.

Chimney cakes you get to make!

Marie_S, Oct 2025

We enjoyed learning about the history of chimney cakes, along with differences in cakes between countries. We started with prepared dough and followed the clear instructions from our teacher. We got to create our own chimney cakes from start to finish! Everything was prepared so you could follow along at your station. We met nice people in class, and enjoyed learning from our knowledgeable teacher.

Such a lovely time...

Sara_F, Sep 2025
