Choose a pack based on how many whole mini stroopwafels you want to use on your cake and what you’ll do with any leftovers. A bag that states the number of wafers can help if you only need a few for decoration; a larger pack may be more suitable for several cakes. If you want to set out individual portions, look for individually wrapped options and check the availability and label of the product you choose.
If you want to place a limited number of whole wafers on or around one cake, a pack that states the number of wafers can help you plan. For example, PLUS lists Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels Caramel as a pack of 25.
For several cakes or a dessert table, it’s useful to compare both the weight and the stated number of wafers, if available. Lidl lists around 37 Sondey Mini Butter Stroopwafels in a 316 g pack.
If anyone eating the cake needs to avoid certain ingredients, check the information for the specific product you’ve bought. The mini stroopwafels described here list different allergens, so read the packaging before serving.
First, work out how many whole wafers you need. Then compare the flavour with your cake recipe and check the ingredients of the product you want to use.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and size | Count the whole wafers you want to use and compare the stated number with the pack weight. Check the size of the wafers if they need to fit neatly around the edge of your cake. | If I’m decorating the edge or top with whole wafers, I want enough without having lots left over. This quantity is the top priority for around 45% of consumers. |
| Flavour and presentation | Use the product description and ingredients to decide whether a classic flavour or, for example, salted caramel will go best with the other flavours in your cake. | If the wafer will be visible and influence the flavour of the cake, I want to choose that finishing touch with care. Flavour and presentation are the main concern for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and storage | Check the current label for ingredients, allergen warnings and storage advice, especially if you’ll have wafers left over. | If I’m baking for someone who needs to avoid certain ingredients, checking the packaging I’ve bought comes before my decoration plans. Around 22% of consumers prioritise this check. |
A mini size doesn’t tell you how many whole wafers are in the pack. PLUS lists 25 wafers in the Daelmans bag; Lidl lists around 37 in the 316 g Sondey pack.
Count how many wafers you want to use first, then compare the number of wafers, the weight and any portion information for the pack you’re considering.
Ingredients and allergen information can vary between product versions. That’s why it’s important to check the packaging of the product you’ll actually use, especially when baking for guests with food allergies.
Before serving, read the label on the pack you’ve bought, including any allergen warnings.
Jumbo’s product listing describes individually wrapped mini stroopwafels in an 18 x 8 g format, but also says this version is no longer in its online range.
Use individual wrapping as a search criterion and check current availability before planning your cake around that product.
If you’re making one small cake, you may have wafers left over from a 300–316 g pack.
Think about whether you’ll use the rest for another baking session or serve them alongside the cake, and follow the storage advice on the label.

Don’t assume they are: these allergens are listed for the versions described from Albert Heijn, Daelmans and PLUS, among others. Before serving, check the packaging of the exact product you’ve bought.
Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve bought. For the Albert Heijn version described here, the advice is to store it in a cool, dark, dry place and use a sealed tin after opening. PLUS advises storing its own-label minis in a dry, dark place.
