Knutselfrutselen met Jannie

  Welcome to another Manly Mondays

at My Creative Time

I think it is always a little bit more work
to come up with something cute for a guy, 

but with the help of My Creative Time it isn't that hard.

So my husband loves stroopwafels! You might have heard of them

According to Dutch culinary folklore,
stroopwafels were first made in Gouda 
either during the late 18th century or the early
19th century by bakers repurposing
scraps and crumbs by sweetening them with syrup.

One story ascribes the invention of the stroopwafel
 to the baker Gerard Kamphuisen,
which would date the first stroopwafels from
somewhere between 1810,
the year he opened his bakery, and 1840, t
he year of the oldest known recipe for syrup waffles. 

Stroopwafels were not found outside Gouda until 1870,
by which point the city was home to around 100 syrup-waffle bakers.

After 1870 stroopwafels began to appear in other cities
and in the 20th century,
factory-made stroopwafels were introduced.
By 1960, there were 17 factories in Gouda alone,
of which four are still open.
Today, stroopwafels are sold at markets,
by street vendors and in supermarkets.

Since 2016 United Airlines has been serving stroopwafels
as a breakfast snack on its domestic flights.

So I got a package of 2 stroopwafels and made
a cute bellyband around it

I love it !!!

This is what I made

Pretty Treat Topper (revised) MCT-D192-1

Stitched Lollipop Holder Die MCT-D08-1 to make the stroopwafels
