Here a brief explanation
Dutch crisp bakes. They are round, and are prepared by baking a small cylindrical bread,
cutting it in half and baking a second time. They are spread with butter (or margarine) and the muisjes (lit. ‘little mice’) are sprinkled on top.
These muisjes are sugared aniseed balls. They are sold in a mixture of two colours: White and pink and white and blue, and it has become a custom,
but not a universal one, that the latter (blue) are served when a boy is born, and the former (pink) for a girl.
When a child is born in to the royal House of Orange, orange muisjes are sold.
