Nothing kick starts your heart like The Ten of Tarts!

---

 When The Ten of Tarts was established in 2021, my quest for the best butter tart began.   I wanted a tart that touched my tastebuds, made them dance, and didn't make me regret taking that first bite.  It had to offer quality ingredients, healthier options for ingredients, and bring me back to when I was younger.  I have stayed true to the quality ingredients I started with, and even though their costs have risen significantly, the price of my tarts have remained the same. 

We use Pure certified organic maple syrup from an award winning producer, fresh eggs, not ones that are pre-cracked and ready for use. Fresh creamy butter (in both filling and crust!) and fresh, lively  ingredients to accentuate the wonderful filling!   Any and all toppings are made from scratch, in my kitchen, from homemade toffee, caramel sauce, pistachio cream, lemon curd.  This way, I know what goes into them, and are preservative free.  They have a lower glycemic index, and in this day and age, when diabetes and other illnesses are running ramped, these are key factors in why it is important to choose healthier options.  Why choose a tart made with corn syrup, lard or shortening, topped with commercially prepared fillings and candies, when knowing what is actually in those products is up for debate? 

I am not saying that butter tarts made with corn syrup are not tasty, but if you have the option for a healthier version, why would you not choose it?

Some people say my tarts are "small" in comparison to theirs, but when it comes to a delicious butter tart, size does not matter...or maybe it does.  What does matter is quality!

We offer full sized tarts and mini tarts because we know that there are people out there who have to limit their sugar intake, or watch their weight, but want a little treat now and then, that won't make their sugars spike.  Maple syrup, although some may think it's too sweet, offers so many vitamins and  minerals and a lower glycemic index rather than corn syrup, which offers high concentration of fructose, which can lead to metabolic issues, including unwanted weight gain, insulin resistance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and an increased risk of heart disease. 

 Everything we make is made fresh, baked, cooled, packaged and frozen immediately to ensure the freshest product comes to market.

We're not flashy, have the most followers, we are not the most prolific Instagram poster because we know that "word of Mouth" and the taste of our tarts is what really matters!  We sell thousands of tarts to thousands of very satisfied and repeat customers, supply weddings and birthdays, business events and gifts.  And for every tart, cookie or bar that leaves our shop, I know that the person receiving them is going to be astounded and delighted with their taste!

  The Ten of Tarts operates out of a fully licensed and inspected professional kitchen, in our  hometown of Shelburne Ontario.  We do not have a store front, but welcome people to give  us a call and stop by to pick up tarts.  We also participate in the Orangeville Farmers'  Market every Saturday in the summer, and attend many Butter Tart Festivals, Fairs, and  Special Events.  We truly love what we do, and you can taste the love in every morsel.   "Magic in every morsel!" so we say!
