ā€œI am an autumn.ā€ ā€” Richard Gilmore šŸ

Our retail storefront is temporarily closed while the kitchen transforms into a holiday production workshop! Weā€™re busy preparing our full holiday lineup for November.

But donā€™t despair, you wonā€™t have to rewatch Gilmore Girls without a stash of Lukeā€™s Diner-worthy fall treats. ā˜•šŸ‚

Weā€™re loading up the bakery truck for one of our favourite annual events: the 29th Annual Horton Harvest Craft Fair at Horton High School!ļæ¼ļæ¼

šŸ“… Saturday, October 17 | 9 AMā€“3 PM

Did you know Duncan is a former band kid? Little known fact: he had the same band teacher as Diana KrallšŸŽ¶ Come support the Horton High School band program, browse the vendors, and stock up on Fall Goodies!

šŸŽŸļø Admission is $5 at the door (12 & under are free!). Thereā€™s no ATM on-site this year, so come prepared! Many vendors accept cards, and as always, we take cash, credit, debit and, of course, American Express. Weā€™re classy like that. šŸ˜‰

So do come say hi in person this Saturday. We canā€™t wait to see you!

šŸ“Œ SAVE this post to remind you of your weekend plans, and share it with your favourite local cookie lover! šŸ‚šŸ›’

This weekend. We love supporting this market.
As a former band kid, Duncan especially loves to support this one.
As a former band parent Lorraine remembers the fundraising for those band tripsā€¦.

So come on out and join us for this favourite and the unofficial kick off to our holiday show schedule. Time to test our readiness to bake morning, noon and night. All while Duncan performs in My Fair Lady with Quick As A Wink Theatre Society this week and next.

All that to say ā€¦ Fall flavours incoming.

Wait until you try our latest Pumpkin Shortbreadā€¦.

And one last thing: Duncan plays multiple instruments and he sings, did you know?
What instruments do you think he plays?

Our many, many ingredient fruitcake

You can have one of these instead of a cake made from raisins and iced coffeeā€¦.

Your choice.

October for us at the bakery means it is time to start making dough for Christmas cookies, making the final batches of fruitcake, ensuring the mincemeat is properly aged and preparing for long show days, travel and holiday excitement.

All of that with our family crew of just three (four if you count the dog - but honestly sheā€™s not much help).

So, to make it all happen, the storefront will be closed for a bit while we get into production mode.

Fear not, though. Orders will be filled ā€” just shoot us an email or a message and weā€™ll get you all set up.

Show season is nearly here, and prep is underway at the bakery!

That means reduced hours for the storefront over the next few weeks as we get ready for our busiest season of the year.

Weā€™re still taking orders! For the next few weeks, shortbread and other baked goods will be available by order only.

To place an order, email us at [email protected] or send us a message here or on Facebook.

If youā€™ve been following along, you know we candy our own cherries for our fruitcake.

Why do we go to such lengths, you may ask?

Because we care that much about what goes into everything we make.

Commercially prepared cherries are no longer the candied fruit of old ā€” fruit, sugar and patience. They often contain sulphites and artificial colour and flavour, and are processed in ways that have little to do with the slow, traditional method.

Thatā€™s not good enough for us. Too much fake stuff and not enough good stuff.

So, after soaking local cherries in house-made organic sugar syrup, our cherries head onto the drying racks to set up.

You can taste the difference.

Real fruit. One cherry at a time.

Coming soon to a fruitcake near you.
