“It’s fitting that the Transylvanian chimney cake warms you up from the inside out. The hot pastry’s caramel crust is crunchy, while the interior is soft and doughy. The lemon flavour holds its own, even when mixed with cinnamon sugar and cooked apples. It’s not the easiest treat to consume, unless you can unhinge your jaw. But through trial and error—and zero casualties—I managed to defeat the sweet beast.”
