What is a Chimney Cake?
Chimney Cakes or “Kürtőskalács” are traditional Hungarian Pastries. It is made of a yeast dough, hand rolled and wrapped around cornets followed by a sugar coating before baked. While they are baking in a open rotisserie oven, the sugar caramelizes and gives the Chimney’s distinguished crispiness on the outside, while remaining fluffy and soft on the inside.
Although Chimney Cakes are new to San Diego they have been around in Eastern Europe for many years. It is known as street food and now celebrated as the oldest Hungarian pastry!

About us
Mia Sorella Chimney Cakes is the first Original San Diego’s Hungarian Bakery, founded in 2017. It is a concept brought by two local chefs Vanessa Castillo & Veronica Castillo, they are sisters and business partners who often traveled together and enjoyed to learn about different cultures and cooking techniques. It was in 2016 when they met chimneys cakes while walking the streets of Prague. They really fell in love and got inspired from the unique European concept. They both had the same vision about bringing this concept to their community and taking this new experience to the next level. They started operating at the local farmers markets, offering fresh organic ingredients to their customers. They gave it their own twist by creating an original menu, making all of their spreads, fillings and toppings from scratch.
Their mission is to offer a sustainable concept and fun experience to all of their future locations.
