Thank You for Another Amazing Year!!!

 We are sold out and closed for the season.


What Bill and I love most about owning and operating The Little Tart is that we get to do what makes our hearts happy. Every decision is ours and every interaction is personal. What really makes our hearts happy is seeing you happy. If it's only for the short time you're with us, making you smile or laugh is everything because The Little Tart - in our humble opinion - is about more than just the baking; you make us smile and laugh and that makes the stresses of owning and operating this tiny business so much more tolerable, so much more enjoyable and more than that... it makes our hearts overflow with love and adoration and gratitude.


Thank you, thank you, thank you for your overwhelming support, kindness and generosity. You made our trepidatious 17th season an overwhelming success!


Thank you so much for making The Little Tart a part of your spring, summer and autumn. It has been our pleasure and our privilege to bake for you this year. 


We have been asked about a winter opening. The past few winters we did our stock run, prepped, (three winters ago we had the store stocked) and then Winter put the kibosh on our plans. And so we have decided we will not have a winter opening, however, nothing is written in stone. 


So, let's do this... if we decide otherwise we'll let you know in advance right here. Otherwise, we will see you again in spring of 2026 when we begin our 18th season!


We hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving, an amazing autumn and a wonderful winter! Please, please, please be be healthy, be happy and be safe so you can come back and see us again because until you do, we'll miss you. ❤️

The End of Another Summer Season

Here we are at the end of another summer season but on the bright side...


... WE HAD A SUMMER SEASON!!!


Thank you, thank you and thank you so very much. Every single day this summer we reminded each other how fortunate we are. 


Is this a tough gig? Yes.

Is it a stressful gig! Oh yea.

Is it worth every painstaking moment? You can bet your ooey gooey butter tarts (with or without raisins) it is!


We weren't sure what to expect. We thought we would most likely get through July but from there? Behind the scenes we've been very fortunate with our suppliers. One saved us a few times this summer. Times are tough and for a small business it's overwhelming. For a teeny tiny business like ours with a very small window of opportunity to make our year and know we'll be able to open the doors again next year it can bring you to tears. 


And it has.


So what do we do? Well, we do what we do and we hope with everything we have that you'll come through the door. And oh boy, you did!


Once again we are humbled and grateful and can never thank you enough for helping us keep this little shop going. The energy you brought this summer was phenominal and inspiring and so so so motivating. I wish I could reach out and give every one of you a big hug.


And so, our summer season is over and our fall season begins... today actually because we're heading right back into the kitchen to start prepping for next weekend.


We hope you are having a wonderful long weekend and that you have a stupendously superific Sunday afternoon and evening. ❤️

Let's Get This Season Started!


 


We are only a few days away from the first long weekend of the season and prep has begun!!!


'kayso, here's the scoop... 


This year will not be without it's challenges. Once we were through the pandemic Bill and I thought the toughest challenge ahead would be aging. Goes to show what we know. But here we are and - come on - who doesn't love a challenge?


As always we will do our absolute best to give you the absolute best experience possible when you visit. Unfortunately we cannot promise there won't be issues when it comes to some of your favourite tarts and by that I mean limited supply or there may be times your favourite will not be available. We are going to do our best to not let that happen but we apologize in advance. Some things are beyond our control. In all honesty there has already been some "sticker shock" and supply problems and where it goes from here - well - we don't know any more than you do. That uncertainty is where the challenges will come in. 


Here's what we can promise you. Bill and I are going to bake our hearts out for you. We promise never to compromise the quality of our baking. You deserve the very best we can offer and that will never change.


And so onto brighter, happier things, we are busy getting ready for a new season and can't wait to welcome you back. We hope we'll be seeing you soon! ❤️

Our 17 Season Begins Soon!

 Happy Saturday afternoon and welcome to Spring!

Bill and I are busy getting ready and looking forward to our 17th season.

It has been a long, long, long, oh so long winter and we're ready to spring into a new season of baking just for you!

(See what I did there? "Spring into... I still got it. I thought I lost it but... nailed it!😉)

Anyhoo, we hope you have had a wonderful winter, that you are safe and healthy and that we will be seeing you again very soon. We've missed you.

I'll be back with more info and hours closer to. Take care and have a spectacular Saturday afternoon and evening and an even better every day after.❤️
