The tins are oven-safe, which also makes reheating easy. You can...

  • Do you offer gluten-free butter tarts?

    Not at this time. Our butter tart shells are made with wheat flour, and our bakery is not a certified gluten-free facility. We cannot guarantee a gluten-free environment for customers with allergies or severe sensitivities.

  • Do your butter tarts contain lard?

    No. We do not use animal lard in our butter tarts. Our pastry is made with real butter and vegetable-based shortening for a flaky crust.

  • Are your butter tarts freshly baked?

    Yes. Our butter tarts are handmade fresh using Canadian butter, whole eggs, and locally sourced ingredients.

  • Do butter tarts freeze well?

    Yes. Freeze in airtight packaging (up to 2 months). Thaw at room temperature before serving.

    Absolutely. We rotate favourites like Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon Bun, Apple Pie, and Raspberry White Chocolate alongside year-round classics.

  • Do your butter tarts contain nuts?

    Some flavours (e.g., Pecan) contain nuts. While we offer nut-free flavours, we are not a nut-free facility and cross-contamination is possible.

  • Do you use corn syrup in your butter tarts?

    No — we use real butter and pure maple syrup, never corn syrup.

  • How many butter tarts come in a box?

    Our standard butter tart box contains 6 full-size butter tarts. You can order multiple boxes or choose larger quantities on products where those options are available.

  • What is the texture of your butter tarts?

    Perfectly balanced — not runny, not too firm. The filling is rich, buttery, and pleasantly gooey.

  • What makes your butter tarts different?

    A rich, gooey centre in a flaky, hand-rolled pastry, baked from scratch in small batches with premium Canadian ingredients and no added preservatives.

  • What size are your butter tarts?

    Our butter tarts are oversized, full-size portions — no minis. Each tart is approximately 3 inches wide and generally weighs about 114–129 g, depending on the flavour and inclusions. Because they’re handmade, slight variations in finished size and weight are normal.
