There’s nothing quite like the energy of a pop-up. The smell of butter tarts in the air, excited customers lining up for their favourites, and the joy of hearing “You’re the ones from Instagram!”—we live for it. Here’s a peek behind the scenes of what it’s like to run afamily-owned dessert businesson the go.

Why We Love Pop-Ups (Even at 5 A.M.)

Yes, setup usually starts before the sun comes up—but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our pop-up days are full of coffee, cookie boxes, and community. Every event is a chance to meet our customers face to face, hear their stories, and watch them light up when they spot their favourite tart.

A Family-Run Business That Shows Up (Literally)

Carla’s Cookie Box isn’t just a brand—it’s a family effort. From baking and packing to hauling tables and setting up signage, we do it all as a team. These pop-ups are more than just sales days—they’re our chance to connect with the people who’ve supported us from day one.

The Display: Pretty *and* Practical

Our setup might look sweet, but trust us—it’s strategic too. From bold signage and our signature pink gift boxes to airtight tart clamshells and dessert towers, we make every square foot work. Because when there’s a lineup, speed (and good storytelling) sells.

Handmade, In Person

There’s something extra special about getting to say, “Yes, we made these.” Every cookie, tart, and brownie you see at our table was made from scratch in our Toronto kitchen—no shortcuts, no preservatives. And that’s exactly what makes us stand out at events.
