We're Celebrating 5 Years With a Giveaway!!!


It has been our pride and privilege to be a part of the cottage country tradition and experience for five years. (Has it really been that long?) Many of you know we weren't always The Little Tart pastry shop. The transition was a leap of faith and it's one we have never regretted. 

We are fortunate to have customers who have been our customers since long before we became The Little Tart pastry shop.  

You who have stayed our customers and endured every change we have made along the way have become more than just our customers. 

You have become our friends. 

It is always exciting to meet and greet residents and visitors who are new to the cottage country experience. We often find ourselves tour guides, historians, and/or ambassadors. Roles we don't take lightly. We take pride in our courteous customer service because we realize how important it is to make everyone's experience a welcoming one. 

And, of course, it is always an immense compliment when our new customers become regular customers we look forward to seeing year after year. 

And so, to celebrate our 5th Anniversary as The Little Tart pastry shop we're holding a customer appreciation giveaway! Now this part took some real thought… 

We're giving away 5 dozen tarts and here's how we're going to do it… 

Every Thursday (which just happens to be the 5th day of the week), from July 4th until August 29th, our 5th customer of the day will win…

5 TARTS! 

No, that doesn't sound right. Let's make it a complete half dozen! What kind is up to you! 

That's 6 tarts to the 5th customer on the 5th day of every week from July 4th to August 29th! It's that simple! 

Wait a minute! We're a six pack short! (Wow, if we had a tart for every time we've heard that! Wait… we probably do.) 

Anyhoo… to kick things off we're going to give away our first six pack of tarts to our 5th customer on CANADA DAY MONDAY!!! 

Now, we do have to have a few rules. (All giveaways have them.) 

1. Family can not participate in our giveaway. Let's face it, you guys get enough free stuff already!

2. Everyone has one chance to win. In the spirit of fairness, should the fifth customer be a previous winner, the sixth customer will be awarded the prize. 

3. Actually the third rule isn't really a rule. How you decide to accept your tarts is up to you. You may take them right then and there OR we will give you a gift certificate for your tarts, redeemable at a later date.

And there you have it!

Good luck!

THANK YOU FOR 5 WONDERFUL YEARS!!!

The Little Tart Wins Haliburton's Best Butter Tart Contest!

This year's prize for Rail's End Gallery's butter tart contest
 
Each year the Rail's End Gallery hosts Haliburton's largest yard sale called "Treasures N' Trash" and as part of the festivities they host a butter tart contest. The Rail's End contacted us on Twitter to ask us if we would be entering this year. We had never entered the butter tart contest before, but decided it would be fun and a good way to get "The Little Tart" name into the town of Haliburton. We were told to bring a dozen tarts to the contest after which the remaining tarts would be sold for charity to help support the arts in Haliburton. Sounded good to us! Unfortunately we couldn't be there when the winner was announced, but that evening one of our customers arrived to congratulate us and present us with the prize for this years win. It was a very nice surprise and we'd like to dedicate this win to our mothers.

To Anne Fortier for being a wonderful baking teacher. She taught me that baking is an art form and only the very best is good enough to serve.

To Evelyn Ross for being our loudest cheerleader. No matter how difficult or trying things get, she reminds us that everything will always be okay.
