It is the last long weekend of summer.
We'll be here! We hope you will be too!

Labour Day at The Little Tart, Haliburton, Ontario |

The Little Tart is Haliburton's tart store! We're a tiny pastry shop in the town of Donald, 8km south of main street Haliburton, Ontario. (That's a short drive along Gelert Road!) We offer good old fashioned home baked goodness from our very own "Ooey Gooey Butter Tarts" to our popular Thanksgiving pumpkin pies. All of our baking is created by hand, from scratch, on site. All of our recipes are tried and retried until they are our absolute best because only our very best will do.

Patty Cake - Inaccurate and Misleading

The Little Tart pastry shop |
Patty cake, patty cake, baker man.
I'm already offended.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Do you want it good? Or do you want it fast?
Because if you want it fast you can just mosey on down to
the local grocery store and pick yourself up a package of Betty What-a-crock
fake mix. Oh, and don't forget your plastic air tight container of oil based,
preservative infused frosting. Nummy! (Buttercream my apple crumble.)Where was I?
Roll it and pat it…
Hold on. Are we talking cake or pie here?
You roll and pat a pie.
You mix and pour a cake.
Mark it with a "B"
Script costs extra.
And put it in the oven for baby and me.
You should not feed baked goods to your baby. It's
irresponsible and bad parenting.
Now. May I suggest my own original lyrics.
Make a pie.
Bake a pie.Sweet delight!
Early in the morning,
'Til late at night.
Measure it.
Mix it.All from scratch.
Num num,
Another biteDown the hatch!
