Joann Patterson’s pastries all began with her mother Laura’s mouth watering pastry recipe. Combined with amazing home made filling the butter tarts are the best seller. Originally Joann sold her famous pastries for years at “Shabby Shack”. However, the demand and reputation for her prize winning butter tarts grew and a larger space was needed and thus The Little Pie Shack was born. They also feature home made pies, tarts, brownies, squares, Kawartha Dairy ice cream, sundaes, banana splits, milkshakes, flurries, fruit smoothies, hot dogs… and even more!
