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.

It is time for The Little Tart's summer season to begin!
Prep has already begun and we are adding another day for July and August beginning this week. Bill and I are looking forward to another exciting summer season and hope you have a chance to pay us a visit!
Have a wonderful week!
'kayso let's end this fabulous weekend the way it began... with a tongue twister!
I worked on this one all weekend so savour it like it's your favourite tart. Roll it around on your tongue like the flavourful filling in our flaky pastry. Mull it over and feel free to share.
Say it three times fast if you dare.
And then you'll have it (twitch) stuck in your brain like I do! I (twitch) can't make it stop! It loops around and around and (twitch) around; apple tree, pretty house, left turn, apple tree, pretty house, left turn, apple tree, pretty house (Oo - they have a dog! Who's a cute little poochie? You are! Yes, you are!), left turn.
I'm sure it's nothing that a little fresh air and a lot of loud music can't fix.
I hope.
Have a wonderfully wondrous week! ❤
TGIF!
We are Open!
But before I get back to the baking making I have I have an itty-bitty-ditty to share.
If you've been to The Little Tart you may have noticed I practice my writing chops by coming up with little write-ups for each item. Some are a little sassy, some suggestive (The double entendre of our name is no accident), and some are just silly. They're fun to write and hopefully fun to read.
What does any of this long-winded intro have to do with the itty-bitty-diddy? It's a segue.
The Little Tart has big, moist muffins (See what I mean?). That's no secret. The secret is, they really want to be cake because - let's face it - a muffin is really a piece of cake without the frosting. Except for those bran muffins or multi-grain h... hel... good for you kind.
And now we're to the itty-bitty-ditty!
Inspired by the muffin's write-up I came up with this tongue twister. Say it three times fast. Have a blast of a weekend!
How many cakes could the baker's bakery bake, if the baker's bakery only made cakes. The baker's bakery could bake as many cakes as the baker's bakery could make.
But we're a tart shop so... look! 🐿
'kayso the sun is hiding, the bugs are bugging and the morning news is...
Anyhoo, don't let it get you down! The sun can't hide forever. The bugs are just doing what they do and you can always turn off the news. Besides, we've been making baking just for you so don't be blue.
It's Friday and it's June which means we are OPEN!
Have a fabulous day. ❤
