Growing up in Hungary, Anikó’s favorite treat was the kürtő cake. She loved waiting in line to grab this cylinder-shaped pastry at county fairs, but found this confection all but absent when she moved to the United States. When she landed in Sarasota, FL, she decided it was time to bring this sweet treat to the States. With that, Kürtős was born. This cart serves up bakery fresh kürtős on the daily. You don’t want to miss introducing your sweet tooth to this unique treat.
Kürtős are frequently called chimney cakes due to their cylindrical shape. These treats are made from sweetened yeast dough rolled out, wrapped around a rotisserie, and baked to crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside perfection. Anikó flavors her kürtős in a variety of fashions, offering both sweet and savory options on the menu. You can grab a chimney cake stuffed with cheese and bacon for dinner and then get one stuffed with ice cream for dessert. In addition to the eponymous item, Kürtős also serves a bevy of traditional Hungarian cuisine well worth sampling. Are you drooling? Then swing by Kürtős ASAP. If you love it, book ‘em for your next event. You won’t regret it.
