Where the Magic Begins
Your sweet adventure kicks off at Albert Cuypstraat 194, 1073 BL right in the bustling heart of the city. Step inside our cozy venue and you’ll immediately be greeted by the irresistible aroma of caramel and freshly baked dough. From the very first moment, you’ll feel the warmth and charm that make this workshop a highlight of any Amsterdam trip.
From Dough to Gooey Perfection
After a fun introduction from your friendly instructor, who’ll also share the quirky history of the stroopwafel, dating back to the 18th century, it’s time to roll up your sleeves. Don your apron, gather around the hot iron, and watch as the perfect stroopwafel takes shape. Then it’s your turn: mix, roll, bake, and layer warm syrup between golden wafers. The best part? That gooey caramel drizzle that transforms a simple waffle into a sweet masterpiece. You’ll quickly see why the stroopwafel has stolen Dutch hearts for centuries.
Sip, Snack & Take One Home
Once your creations are ready, reward yourself with a relaxing break. Sit back with a cup of coffee or tea, share laughs with fellow bakers, and enjoy the very first bite of your handmade stroopwafel, crispy, chewy, and straight from the iron! To top it off, you’ll pack one up to take home, along with new baking skills, fun memories, and maybe even a story or two to impress your friends back home. This isn’t just a workshop; it’s a taste of Dutch culture you can bring with you.
