Originally called didžkukuliai, or dumb-bells, they were renamed rather modishly in honour of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, pioneer of the rigid airship, in 1900. Cepelinai shape resembles of a Zeppelin airship,.[1] Cepelinai are typically around 10–30 cm long, although the size depends on where they are made: in the western counties of Lithuania cepelinai are made bigger than in the east.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

After boiling, the cepelinai are often served with sour cream sauce and bacon bits[1] or pork rinds.
