 Among pastries that are most closely related to kürtőskalács, the Transylvanian Saxon "Baumstriezel" has a cylinder shape, rather than a helix.Skalicky Trdelnik from Slovakia (formerly Upper Hungary), as well as Trdlo/Trdelnice/Trdelnik from the Czech–Moravian region, differ from kürtőskalács in that there is no caramel sugar glaze applied to their surface.Neighboring nations have their own names for the cake.
