Canadian Sweets & Treats (For the US Eh?) is a niche make-to-order bakery based in Washington, DC whose core mission is the production and promotion of high quality authentic Canadian food products.
With no storefront as yet (we’re still looking!), our bakery uses a local catering kitchen to produce its distinctive product line of sweet and savory Canadian treats ranging from Nanaimo Bars and Butter Tarts (our best sellers!) to traditional French Canadian Tourtiere (mixed meat pie) and Quiches.
Whenever possible, Canadian Sweets & Treats (For the US Eh?), imports its key ingredients from Canada: Maple syrup and sugar from Quebec for our Maple Leaf Butter Cookies and Maple Sugar Meringues; Ice Wine from Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula for our Ice Wine Biscotti; Bird’s Custard Cream (Crème Anglaise) for our Nanaimo Bars, and Saskatoon Berries from (where else?), Saskatchewan for Thumbprint Cookies and Tarts.
Our brand promise is an always-fresh intensely satisfying taste of Canada. The inspiration for this unique business was the egregious gastronomic inequity that has long existed between Canada and the USA. “WHY – POURQUOIS?” we wondered, were our best friends, neighbors, trading partners, and allies in the world living without some of the most mouth-watering and delectable gastronomic treats in the word?
The answer was simple: No one was making them.
Canadian Sweets & Treats (For the US Eh?) offers an authentic product line, the origins of which can be traced back to the traditions of our aboriginal peoples, and the early French and English colonists.
In addition to the our signature products like Nanaimo Bars, Butter Tarts, and Tourtiere, our line includes PIE Molasses Ginger Cookies, Tartes Aux Sucre (Quebec Sugar Pie), Tartes aux Marrons (Chestnut Tarts with Maple-Chocolate Drizzle), Tartes au Citron (Lemon) with Saskatoon Berry Syrup; Flourless Dark Chocolate Hockey Puck Cakes, and an inventive line of cupcake flavours (yes, that is how we spell it!). All of our products are also available in miniature size. Known as PETITE TREATS, these one and two-bite offerings are perfect for parties and special events.
Because everything we bake is made-to-order, we do ask for at least 24 hours to produce your Canadian Sweets and Treats.
