A new month is a perfectly good reason to refresh your dessert plans. For August, our Build Your Own Butter Tart Box features six flavours that move from classic and comforting to bright, fruity and made for summer.
The lineup includes Plain, Apricot, Strawberry, Lemon Zest, Cherry and Blueberry. Some flavours are familiar favourites, while others are limited-edition choices that may disappear when the next seasonal tray arrives.
Whether you are rewarding yourself for surviving another week of adulting or filling the freezer for future cravings, August is the month to build a box around the flavours you do not want to miss.
Six Flavours, Six Very Good Reasons to Order
Seasonal butter tart flavours make every box feel different. The flavour guide explains the current taste profiles, while the product page shows which options are available to select when you order.
This month’s lineup gives you a mix of traditional butter tart flavour and fruit-inspired centres, so your box can feel balanced instead of repetitive.
The August Lineup
Plain brings the classic gooey filling, Apricot is sweet and jammy, Strawberry tastes like summer, Lemon Zest is bright and refreshing, Cherry is tangy and nostalgic, and Blueberry is rich, juicy and limited-edition.
Reason #1: Apricot Is a Sweet Reward
Apricot is the kind of flavour that feels familiar without being ordinary. Its jammy fruit centre adds a soft, sunny sweetness to the rich butter tart filling.
It works especially well when you want a fruit flavour that is mellow rather than sharp. Pair it with Plain or Pecan in the same order to create a box that moves between classic and seasonal.
Reason #2: Plain Proves the Classic Still Works
Limited editions are exciting, but a box still needs a dependable anchor. Plain delivers the buttery pastry and rich, gooey centre that made butter tarts a Canadian favourite in the first place.
Our butter tarts are made in small batches with real Canadian butter and maple syrup. You can read more about the base ingredients on our flavour and ingredient page.
Plain is also a smart choice when you are ordering for a group because it gives traditional butter tart lovers exactly what they expect.
Reason #3: Strawberry Tastes Like Summer
Strawberry adds a bright, fruity layer that makes every bite feel lighter and more playful. The red centre looks beautiful in a mixed box and gives you a flavour that stands apart from the deeper caramel notes of a traditional tart.
Serve Strawberry at room temperature for a settled centre, or warm it very briefly for a softer, pie-like texture. Always remove all packaging and check the temperature before eating.
Reason #4: Lemon Zest Keeps Things Bright
When August heat makes heavy desserts feel like a commitment, Lemon Zest offers a fresh citrus contrast. It is tart, creamy and bright enough to reset your palate between richer flavours.
Lemon Zest is especially good in a mixed box with Plain, Apricot or Blueberry. The combination gives you several different fruit profiles without losing the butter tart experience.
Reason #5: Cherry May Become Your New Favourite
Cherry is tangy, jammy and just different enough to keep you curious. It has the comfort of a familiar fruit dessert with the flaky pastry and gooey base of a butter tart.
Customers who enjoy fruit pies, turnovers or cherry cheesecake flavours may find this one especially easy to love. It is also a strong choice for a colourful dessert tray.
Reason #6: Blueberry Will Not Be Here Forever
Blueberry is the flavour to choose when you do not want to regret waiting. Its rich fruit centre makes the tart feel like a miniature blueberry pie, but with the signature butter tart filling underneath.
Limited-edition reminder: Seasonal flavours rotate. Only the flavours currently shown in the product selection grid are available to order, so build your box before the August lineup changes.
How to Build a Balanced August Butter Tart Box
A good mixed box gives you contrast. Rather than choosing six versions of the same flavour profile, combine a classic, a bright fruit and a richer jammy option.
- Classic and fruity: Plain, Strawberry and Blueberry
- Bright and balanced: Lemon Zest, Apricot and Plain
- Jam-lover’s box: Cherry, Strawberry and Apricot
- Try-the-month box: Split multiple boxes so you can taste all six flavours
Each standard box contains six full-sized tarts, and you can choose up to three flavours per box. Visit the Build Your Own Butter Tart Box page to see the live flavour grid.
