Our bakery started in 1996 as a modest supplement to our General store (Dee's General Store) which started in 1986. Initially, the bakery was fully staffed and carried a complete line of baked goodies and no real "specialties". After the first year Dee decided to be more "hands on" in the bakery. Soon thereafter the famous Butter Tarts (to Die For) were discovered. The secret to these wonderful tarts is not only the recipe, but also the process used in the making them. Attention to detail is a must!

Dee's tarts are also award winners! The Kitchener Waterloo Record held a "best bought butter tart contest" and, although the competition was from tried and true tart makers, Dee's tarts came out on top...something we are very proud of!
