To My Loyal Supporters,

I had a dream. I had a dream that one day, Dutch and American children could walk hand in hand eating stroopwafels. I had a dream that one day, cookies and caramel would finally come together and no one would question why.

Once upon a time, when old New York was once New Amsterdam, and Peter Stuyvesant was more than just a street, our cultures were as one. In this new era of global communication, I invite you all to commune with me, and share in the bounty of our Original Dutch heritage.

When I woke up at the age of twenty, I knew that dreaming was not enough. When I began baking in my dorm kitchen, I had visions of grandeur. I knew if given the opportunity I had a gift I could share with all inclined to indulge.

Thank you all for your overwhelming support. Thank you for your faith, and thank you for your generosity. You have shown me that this task is worth fighting for, and have reaffirmed for me the pleasure of that first bite of Stroopwafel, sweeter still when shared.

When I set my Kickstarter goal at $22,105, I knew if I received the chance, I could set my dream in motion. Thank you for making that possible, and for helping craft the foundation on which I will build. I owe you that.

I will receive the donated funds in two weeks, and with a new space set up, and the first stages of production underway, the gift you have given me is more vital now than ever.

My name is Rip Van Wafels.

Eat Wafels. Enjoy Life!
