Our story

From a French Christmas market to your hands

Our family spent two years living in France for a work assignment. As we explored Europe, we discovered delicious chimney cakes in several locations — Czech Republic, Hungary, and even at the Christmas market in our own small French town.

One bite was all it took. Warm, crackling, golden dough cooked over a hot grill, dusted in cinnamon sugar. We couldn't believe something this good didn't exist back home in South Carolina.

So we decided to bring it back ourselves. We researched, we practiced, and eventually we did what any serious chimney cake family does — we traveled to Slovenia and got certified. Father and son. Diplomas in hand. Ready to bake.

"One bite at a Christmas market in France changed everything. We knew South Carolina needed this."

Certified in Slovenia

We didn't just learn a recipe.
We earned a diploma.

Most food vendors buy a kit and watch a YouTube video. We flew to Slovenia, trained at Kürtős Academy, and came home with official diplomas — and the confidence to make chimney cakes the right way, every single time.

This is a family business in the truest sense. Every chimney cake you eat from our stall was made by hands that learned the craft at its source.
