Hi Mia,
To get the "fluid" right is the main part, and Elly goes through the whole process.
Instead having the source (Emitter) just move a little bit, animated it in a rotation.

What was missing was the knife to spread the syrup over the waffle. š
Here is a little example how to do that. Please note that the "scraper" used is not visible, as it must be a little bit larger, and the visible one is just for the rendering.

Think of the particles and their radius to create volume. We need to collider the particle core, to get the "Fluid Sphere" The Radius in teh Scene Settings, that it creates moved. I hope that makes sense.
Enjoy your project and your weekend
