📍 When + Where
Event: Big on Bloor Festival 2025
Date: Saturday, July 19, 2025
Time: 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM
Location: Bloor Street West, between Dufferin & Lansdowne, Toronto, ON
This festival transforms Bloor Street into a pedestrian-only zone filled with vendors, performances, music, and — of course — food. And this year, Carla’s Cookie Box was right in the mix with our full display of Canada’s favourite butter tarts.
🧁 Our Festival-Ready Butter Tart Menu
Big on Bloor draws a bold, urban crowd — and our tart fans came ready. We featured:
Gourmet butter tarts in multiple flavours: Classic, Pecan, Maple, Raisin, and No Nut
Handmade dough + slow-cooked filling using Canadian-sourced ingredients
Fresh, vacuum-sealed packaging for portability and gifting
Our signature Mix & Match pricing (2 for $7 or 6 for $20)
This wasn’t just a food stall — it was a full-day dessert destination. Some customers came back twice in one day, bringing friends after that first taste. Others told us they’d marked us on the map ahead of time. A few even filmed TikToks while biting into their tarts.
It was clear: our butter tarts were a top draw at Big on Bloor.
🎯 What Makes Big on Bloor So Special?
Unlike traditional farmers’ markets or food fairs, this festival is a celebration of art, activism, and multicultural expression. And that vibe pairs beautifully with the kind of dessert we offer — handmade, heartfelt, and proudly Canadian.
We were surrounded by musicians, mural painters, community booths, and creators. It’s the kind of setting where people take the time to appreciate quality — and that’s where we shine. Our booth was bustling all day with:
Locals stocking up for the week
Tourists discovering butter tarts for the first time
Downtown residents on their evening walk
Families doing the full 12-hour circuit
💬 Real Feedback, Real Sweet Moments
From noon until sunset and beyond, we heard some amazing comments:
“This was the best thing I ate all day.”
“You’re the only booth I waited in line for — and it was worth it.”
“My friends made me try yours and now I’m buying my own box.”
Even longtime fans were surprised to learn that we offer nationwide shipping across Canada — direct from Toronto, freshly packed and sealed.
