About this tour

You'll learn traditional techniques and proportions you can replicate at home, not just taste a finished product—the class prioritises understanding over shortcuts, with unlimited homemade soft drinks and mineral water included. Minimum 8 participants required to run.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a professional cooking studio and jump straight into making dough from scratch, learning the traditional proportions and handling that matter. From there you'll work through shaping and cooking your two full-size chimney cakes, with instructors guiding you through each step. The class keeps the pace relaxed and unhurried—you're not rushed through—and you'll drink as much homemade soft drink or water as you like while working.
By the end you'll have made and cooked both cakes and walked away with printed recipes in English, so you know exactly how to do this yourself. The whole thing runs 90 minutes, structured enough to get real results but friendly enough that there's no pressure.
