Culinary Adventure and Experience

The Art of Making Chimney Cake: an Outdoor Team-Building Program

We've been making one of the country's most beloved chimney cakes for more than 23 years. The primary mission of our Do-It-Yourself! chimney cake workshops is to pass on this wonderful Székely folk tradition and its authentic method of preparation, in the form of an unforgettable experience.

With the expert support of our colleagues, our experience-focused workshops and team-building trainings let us share a small slice of our know-how. That's why this isn't a traditional chimney-cake-making course, but an interactive session where participants can shape their own chimney cake with their own hands.

SPECIAL CULINARY PROGRAM

for large groups

On this one-of-a-kind culinary adventure, participants are organized into groups based on group size, and the tasks are divided among them: together they decide who kneads the dough, who does the rolling, and who becomes the baking master. The chimney cakes are made together, as a real team effort. While the dough comes together and rises, and the charcoal reaches the ideal temperature, guests get to hear exciting stories and legends about the history of chimney cake. They can also put their knowledge to the test and compete against each other in a playful, educational quiz. This is followed by rolling the dough onto the baking spit, then baking over the embers and adding the flavoring - and it's in these steps that effective teamwork between team members plays a key role. At the end of the workshop, participants can enjoy the finished treats on the spot, or even take them home.

Venue

Our Outdoor Team-Building Training can be held at practically any outdoor venue, as long as it offers at least a 3x4 m uncovered area, a 220 V power outlet, and access to water.

Equipment
