We Took Over the CNE and Brought the Butter Tarts - Carla's Cookie Box

Canada’s biggest fair. A sea of foodies. And us—smack in the middle, handing out butter tarts like they were going out of style. Here’s what went down when Carla’s Cookie Box hit the CNE.

Butter Tarts, Brownies & Big Energy

The Canadian National Exhibition isn’t just another pop-up. It’s the pop-up. With thousands of visitors passing through daily, it’s where serious snackers and sweet-toothed tourists meet. And let’s just say… they came hungry.

We brought our best— award-winning butter tarts , ooey-gooey brownies, soft cookies, and a display table that stopped people in their tracks. Our pink boxes and golden tarts became instant Instagram bait.

The Reel That Says It All

Family-Run, Fully Booked

We’re not a big box brand—we’re a small but mighty, woman-led, family-run bakery based in Toronto. Every tart sold at the CNE was hand-filled by us, wrapped with care, and brought on-site by our crew. We even had the kids helping out!

These moments let us meet our customers face-to-face. We hear their stories. We see them light up when they taste something nostalgic. And we get to say, proudly, “Yes—we made that.”
