The dance was mostly devised while en route to Bratislava where unwary tourists may succumb (once!) to the temptation of Chimney Cake. This is a sweet cylindrical pastry stuffed with fruit, cream and sugar laden extras and is surprisingly larger than the pictures would lead one to expect. Since it is open at both ends, the result can be a very sticky mess. Still the experience suggested itself as a name for this dance which has fugal figures that start from each end four bars apart. Hopefully the dance will be more satisfying and less fattening than its namesake.
