Cone-shaped sweet pastry rolled around a wooden spit and baked over charcoal, rolled in sugar and cinnamon and served warm or filled with cream and ice cream.
Trdelnik traces to the Transylvanian Hungarian community as a wedding pastry, the name from 'trdlo' (wooden spit). It became widely popular at Bratislava and Prague tourist markets in the 1990s and has since branded itself as a Slovak chimney cake despite contested origins.
