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.The Little Tarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605485029361254832noreply@blogger.comBlogger230125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207990265033819488.post-89088957982207476032023-12-30T13:10:00.000-05:002023-12-30T13:10:15.002-05:00Happy New Year!!!<p>Thank you to everyone who stopped by last Saturday and today.

We have, on a few occasions said to ourselves, "It was good while it lasted." And a couple of those were in the past few years. As Bill and I have both learned - and as I have quoted now and again - "Life is what happens while you were busy making other plans." We have had our fair share of ups and downs during the lifetime of The Little Tart but the one constant - our true secret to still being here - is you. It has been from day one - has been for fifteen years and so "thank you" doesn't fully express our gratitude for your support, kindness, generosity and understanding when we have had to face unexpected "life happens" circumstances.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24.7px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;">And now here we are and the end of another season and we are looking forward to the next one which makes this a very successful year. We want you to know that this "thank you" overflows with love and affection and adoration. You make us want to do our very best work and for The Little Tart to be the very best we can make it for you. The business itself is four walls and two crazy bakers. Each and every one of you make The Little Tart a special place that we are so proud to be a part of.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24.7px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;">'kayso, now that the mushy gushy is out of the way, let's move on to Christmas because that's our next focus and a lot of you have asked about it. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24.7px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;">It is our plan to have a Christmas opening.

(I'll save that for Thanksgiving weekend.)</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have been with us for a while you've heard this before, but if you're new to our The Little Tart community (and we have met a lot of new people this summer which is absolutely wonderful) we want you to know that summer is everything to this little business. We have essentialy two months to make our year. We give it everything we've got and hope it's good enough to keep you coming back and telling others. That's what keeps us here. That is what has kept this little business going for fifteen years. Whether you have been coming here for fifteen years or found us while passing through, whether it has been eight years or eight minutes (yep, it happens) since you were last here, Bill and I can't thank you enough for another amazing summer season. We appreciate and adore each and every one of you. Whether you support us in the store or offer kind words of encouragement here online, we appreciate and adore you. We know and we never forget that without you there is no The Little Tart. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate and can never, ever thank you enough.</div><div><br /></div><div>And now that the summer is winding down, it is time for us to slow things down. We will have new fall hours until Thanksgiving weekend. That weekend we will add the Friday but you don't need to remeber that. I'll post it. If you're in, around, or nearby the Haliburton Highlands this autumn we hope you'll pop by and if your time here ends with the summer we sure hope you'll visit us again next year.</div><div><br /></div><div>We hope you're having a super-duper stupendously satisfying Sunday and an absolutely fabulous long weekend!

We call this a "soft opening" because it's very early in the season and it takes us some time to get into the swing of things and work our way into a "routine" again. Picture "Swan Lake" performed by Daffy Duck. It takes a little time to get the choreography down, especially when we're trying to introduce something new. (Do you sense the segue?)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We introduced "Buried Treasure" this weekend. (We had planned on waiting for summer but didn't want to... okay, we couldn't wait.) It is, as you all guessed, a peanut butter and chocolate tart. Just like everything else in the store, "Buried Treasure" is made from scratch and contains our very own chocolate crust, our very own peanut butter filling and it's topped with a rich chocolate ganache. We're so happy the feedback so far has been super positive. We have a few more treat surprises to come which we'll reveal as the season progresses and things really ramp up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We're so happy to be open and look forward to baking for you again the year! Thank you so much to everyone who paid us a visit this weekend and for all the kindness and love here online. We hope you're having a super spectacular weekend and we'll look forward to doing this all again next weekend!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Have a wonderful afternoon and evening. ❤️</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAux8t2M9Xo4oqTOxaIktfFPHGHvVdeQletD-9mMFHRKUb1RxJJUnaVMF-UE7TBUh4Y4gMTOlHIbCTVEPpOKAe6nUl61iGIghROckcW5PVep9p-oILTq7dWnjTUE3H5s76ZPtqq28f0TN-7ttfx0uB-lSUo029hgrdS-GProppt0LBuiIUp2_oTxtKlA/s1080/4FA9AB29-031F-4654-B168-1BF8BA66AEE7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAux8t2M9Xo4oqTOxaIktfFPHGHvVdeQletD-9mMFHRKUb1RxJJUnaVMF-UE7TBUh4Y4gMTOlHIbCTVEPpOKAe6nUl61iGIghROckcW5PVep9p-oILTq7dWnjTUE3H5s76ZPtqq28f0TN-7ttfx0uB-lSUo029hgrdS-GProppt0LBuiIUp2_oTxtKlA/w640-h640/4FA9AB29-031F-4654-B168-1BF8BA66AEE7.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /> </div><br /> <p></p>The Little Tarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605485029361254832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207990265033819488.post-37514110267631057552023-05-06T10:24:00.001-04:002023-05-06T10:24:19.252-04:00A New Season Begins<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Our 15th season has begun! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXmgXToH3CQCOSqsuWyXspz94jgW3qJiCWLpQiK2I8chSbNpbLKHc8Y394ZfTfones2x0uen9VmjW6ZmpRuJsXwY5OftOhKu072rwhFgbKhpoCJvdNHfIILMIRNUpE5Q5-HPhLf2JuIy28aDbbze3DyNDLwk1lOWQiONccdv9n6wmmhwN0fXKvN3DBw/s2992/IMG_0911.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXmgXToH3CQCOSqsuWyXspz94jgW3qJiCWLpQiK2I8chSbNpbLKHc8Y394ZfTfones2x0uen9VmjW6ZmpRuJsXwY5OftOhKu072rwhFgbKhpoCJvdNHfIILMIRNUpE5Q5-HPhLf2JuIy28aDbbze3DyNDLwk1lOWQiONccdv9n6wmmhwN0fXKvN3DBw/w640-h640/IMG_0911.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfL1lTNfjpKDMnVOCOOXxW8Dq-bZq2MjCTlR68QyCMeMKKUTc-3EM0KbjdXPGSJ6dqZrQIXxVjKoeBHXjsiCkcQA5xbPPI-9OYc-gj_gvkdOn3amPOusopv0Vl0nR-GnY9ka2qaZY7Zwi7ZWze8kA_9D0t-NJSLdfbNMPE4ROanMFlQY7BfXUYELnS2g/s3024/IMG_0912.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfL1lTNfjpKDMnVOCOOXxW8Dq-bZq2MjCTlR68QyCMeMKKUTc-3EM0KbjdXPGSJ6dqZrQIXxVjKoeBHXjsiCkcQA5xbPPI-9OYc-gj_gvkdOn3amPOusopv0Vl0nR-GnY9ka2qaZY7Zwi7ZWze8kA_9D0t-NJSLdfbNMPE4ROanMFlQY7BfXUYELnS2g/w640-h640/IMG_0912.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>The Little Tarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605485029361254832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207990265033819488.post-31241483967148761042023-05-01T12:29:00.003-04:002023-05-01T12:29:46.604-04:00May Hours<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_GTbYlW8XuwCT-5viE2rWBi6kGs-TSB1HzrMjGbjaR_JgYQ6EysL03m5-w0KRpbbsA0YxWuBDezR-lidHzjoFpKCbfCX1fN8FwEqdX86c_hpnFbB3L2VmfheRW6bM7R7xazmVrrjHTIUmSYtJfYUVzJgaImaQw_KY3rQU-fqXj3wW0Bvc8azZnsFvA/s1080/AFA59F7A-ACF4-4D94-9B41-A958012FAAEE.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP_GTbYlW8XuwCT-5viE2rWBi6kGs-TSB1HzrMjGbjaR_JgYQ6EysL03m5-w0KRpbbsA0YxWuBDezR-lidHzjoFpKCbfCX1fN8FwEqdX86c_hpnFbB3L2VmfheRW6bM7R7xazmVrrjHTIUmSYtJfYUVzJgaImaQw_KY3rQU-fqXj3wW0Bvc8azZnsFvA/w640-h640/AFA59F7A-ACF4-4D94-9B41-A958012FAAEE.png" title="It's official!" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p>The Little Tarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605485029361254832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207990265033819488.post-66908150554329156892023-04-29T11:22:00.002-04:002023-04-29T11:22:39.582-04:00A Sneak Peek<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Good morning!</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The countdown is on.

Unfortunately, like many, the weather and uncertainy about the road conditions put the kibosh on our holiday plans. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24.7px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;">We stayed put.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24.7px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;">We checked the weather this morning and, yet again, (or should I say still) there is a winter weather travel advisory in effect. Our boxing day plans include a shovel and snow blower.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24.7px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;">Looking ahead... we wish we hadn't because there's rain coming. Rain on top of all this snow with temperatures rising above zero - not much above zero - but enough to create a whole new kind of mess.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24.7px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;">And so... this has been my long winded way of getting to the point of this post. We have made another tough decision and we apologize to anyone who is disappointed by this but we will not be opening New Year's eve this year.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 24.7px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19.08px;">We should be prepping today.

This could put a kink in our weekend plans. We are keeping an eye on the weather as we continue to prep.<p></p><p>If this storm hits and it's as bad as they're saying it could jeopardize our Christmas eve opening. We don't want anyone risking their safety by venturing out and we can't bake all these treats and have no one come. </p><p>We're hoping it's either much much much milder than predicted or it blows past us.</p><p>If we haven't made a firm decision by Friday evening please please please check Saturday morning before making the trek out here. We will post it early early.</p><p>Here's hoping we'll be seeing you soon!

April???</p><p>It has been less than uneventful here this past while. Unless you care to hear about the garage clean-up, autumn closet purge and the trailor renovation happening out back? </p><p>Didn't think so.</p><p>Maybe you'd like to hear about what happens when an out of shape baker takes on a "low impact" (low impact my sore fanny) high cardio workout? If I'm standing I don't want to try to sit down and if I'm sitting down I don't want to try to stand up. For the past three days anything I have dropped on the floor is still on the floor. Seriously, it feels like I tried to crack a bowling ball between my thighs. Ya, it's hilarious. Laugh it up chuckles.</p><p>But let's get to the good stuff! It's the first Saturday of December and we're counting down the days to our winter holiday opening! Last year we tried something a little different by opening Christmas eve and New Year's eve and it was wonderfully successful so we're going to do that again this year.</p><p>It's a fun tradition we've created because it gives us a chance to reconnect with you fine folks before the long winter break. </p><p>So don't let the weather get you down. The way we see it, we don't have to shovel rain which I'm fine and dandy with right now and for at least the next few days. But of course we'd like to see a little snow for the holiday season and more than that we we hope we'll be seeing you. So... if you happen to be in, around or nearby the Haliburton Highlands over the holidays we hope you'll pop by even if it's just to say hello. </p><p>We'd love to see you. </p><p>Until then, be well and be happy and avoid anything that says "low impact". Seriously... it's a big fat lie! </p><p><br /></p><p> </p>The Little Tarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605485029361254832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207990265033819488.post-59272465551253671232022-10-31T13:20:00.000-04:002022-10-31T13:20:03.747-04:00Happy Halloween! <p>Happy Halloween!</p><p>It's hard to believe it's already three weeks into our off season.</p><p>We've been getting winter ready; wood splitting, lugging, stacking, yard cleaning (after splitting, lugging, stacking), etc., etc., etc..</p><p>We've been fortunate to have good weather. Summer finally arrived! It's raining today. Not so good for the kiddies tonight. I do recall, all those many, many, many (wait a minute - take away one many) years ago groaning about having to wear a coat or rain jacket over my costume. But, to quote Rush who quoted somebody else (I'm not Googling that) "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." (Okay, I Googled it - 1849, French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr). But let's face it, Rush said it best!</p><p>At the end of every year we have some leftover perishables that need to be used up so just when I think I'm out of the kitchen, I get pulled back in. (Hey, that's a great line! Someone should use that in a movie.) This year we had some apples left from our tree and some cream cheese. Now, we could have just eaten the apples and put the cream cheese on bagels but where's the fun in that?</p><p>The buns are home made as well from my own recipe. People often ask if we make bread. There's nothing like fresh baked bread and buns but they are so time consuming, unfortunately, it's not possible for the store.</p><p>So apple pie made sense and those are carrot cakes. Yep! That's where the cream cheese is going. Nothing but good old fashioned healthy baking here! Anyone know of a good cardiologist? (Just kidding - not really.)</p><p>Anyhoo, I just wanted to pop in, say hi, see how y'all are doing. We hope you're well and that you have a fabulous Halloween!</p><p>Until next time, be careful out there (Wow! Another great line! Someoene should use that in a television show! I am on a roll.) ❤️</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLcjX6tCTVmNyYRPwPKMzdCXVBmq-C3IwLGwLUZpqquT9Yhsm0F65vskbNWm7ELrokz3fHxYceLCZm-dCmtfJXcyMa4AUbo5MzGiZlRMbOCxj4GppxF99dRe3JP-Bgw70swY00uLA7cYvViDeZglQuYt6SPrITzwTUiMq-ZtoG6jlyg7gVYLrDd_Do8g/s1440/544A5449-84C4-47A2-B537-C04CD67BADE0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLcjX6tCTVmNyYRPwPKMzdCXVBmq-C3IwLGwLUZpqquT9Yhsm0F65vskbNWm7ELrokz3fHxYceLCZm-dCmtfJXcyMa4AUbo5MzGiZlRMbOCxj4GppxF99dRe3JP-Bgw70swY00uLA7cYvViDeZglQuYt6SPrITzwTUiMq-ZtoG6jlyg7gVYLrDd_Do8g/w400-h400/544A5449-84C4-47A2-B537-C04CD67BADE0.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrWrIUt3sBC3KGnK__55E2pdcTTnmxvAnTeue9GvDuV_1mT25NfDNGDsX2ZBC_s-G-EXUIc3NdY_oG-4mw1eawe-fO0mhznGn8V8lQ0kBbVvpr4ltiDxxmVr2Fcmlo0kVnKid6zSaZa1dvpp_gKAa2XWEUSHD4yUqy9jO_lEv7Td7Ztd4_ptZYAyRRuw/s1440/EEE50A34-DD6D-4246-8865-C2BA4519EA0B.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrWrIUt3sBC3KGnK__55E2pdcTTnmxvAnTeue9GvDuV_1mT25NfDNGDsX2ZBC_s-G-EXUIc3NdY_oG-4mw1eawe-fO0mhznGn8V8lQ0kBbVvpr4ltiDxxmVr2Fcmlo0kVnKid6zSaZa1dvpp_gKAa2XWEUSHD4yUqy9jO_lEv7Td7Ztd4_ptZYAyRRuw/w400-h400/EEE50A34-DD6D-4246-8865-C2BA4519EA0B.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>The Little Tarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605485029361254832noreply@blogger.com0
