Why kids love it

They make it, they decorate it, they take it home

It is messy in the best way. Every child gets their own waffle to make and a table of toppings to go wild with, all guided by our team so the party stays fun and safe.

Hands-on, not just watching

Each child makes their own stroopwafel and decorates it however they like. They leave proud of something they actually made.

Guided and safe

Our team is at every iron, helping the kids and keeping an eye on the hot bits, so parents can relax and enjoy the party too.

Easy for parents

We set up, guide the baking and pack everything to take home. You bring the birthday child and the guests, we handle the rest.

How it works

Planning the party in three steps

  1. 1

    Tell us about the party

    Send us how many children, their ages and a couple of dates. We have up to 12 spots per session and can plan around a bigger group.

  2. 2

    We set up your slot

    We confirm a time, check for any allergies and get everything ready, so all you have to do is show up.

  3. 3

    Bake, decorate and celebrate

    The kids make and decorate their own stroopwafels, then take them home in a Melly's box, a tasty party favour built in.

What do the kids take home?
Each child makes and decorates two of their own stroopwafels and takes them home in a Melly's box, along with a recipe card and a certificate, a party favour they made themselves.
One of the children has an allergy, what should we do?
The stroopwafel base contains egg, gluten (wheat), milk and soy, and some toppings add nuts. Please check our allergen guide and tell us about any allergies when you book so we can advise.
