 In the 16th century, the evolution of the cake family proceeded in three branches.The first branch contains pastries that preserved the image of cake similar to the one mentioned above, with a strip wound on spit in a helical shape.The Szekler-Hungarian kürtőskalács, "Skalicky trdelnik" (trdelník from Skalica), and the Czech-Moravian "trdlo/trdelnice/trdelnik", which is virtually the same as the latter, as well as the "kürtősfánk" (kürtősh donut) belong to this branch.
