Butter Tart Royalty: Carla’s Cookie Box Wins 1st Place at Butter Tart Festival in Paris!

Move over, pastry world — there’s a new butter tart champion in town!

This past weekend at the 2025 Paris Butter Tart Festival in Ontario, Carla’s Cookie Box proudly took home 1st Place in the butter tart competition. That’s right: we didn’t just show up — we conquered, crowned in buttery glory 🥇👑.

From the very first bite, our tarts stole hearts. The flaky, golden pastry, the gooey, rich filling, and that signature hint of magic (aka secret family recipe) wowed the judges and the crowd alike. As the sun beamed down over the festival tents, you could feel the energy and excitement swirling — a celebration not just of desserts, but of craft, passion, and pure, sweet indulgence.

What Makes Our Butter Tarts Award-Winning?

We believe butter tarts are more than a dessert — they’re a bite of tradition. Every tart we bake is handcrafted in Toronto with love, using locally sourced ingredients and a time-honored method that delivers the perfect balance of crisp shell and soft, runny center.

At the Paris festival, we stood among the best — but it was our classic butter tarts that rose to the top, winning over the judges and snagging that coveted gold medal. This win isn’t just about a trophy; it’s a celebration of everyone who’s supported us on this journey, from our customers to our community.

Behind the Scenes: Butter Tart Festival Highlights

We laughed, we baked, we posed for photos (yes, even with floating heads — check our Instagram for proof 😄). But beyond the fun, what truly made the day unforgettable was the connection: meeting tart lovers from all over Ontario, hearing your stories, and watching your eyes light up with that first bite.

Paris, Ontario, you were electric. Thank you for cheering us on and making this festival one for the books!

What’s Next for Carla’s Cookie Box?

This win fuels us to dream even bigger. Expect to see them at more butter tart festivals and see more gourmet creations rolling out soon, from seasonal butter tart flavors to exclusive dessert subscription boxes shipped across Canada. We’re here to make sure every celebration, big or small, has a sweet, buttery crown on top.
