It’s Lorraine’s birthday week. Old enough to retire. Apparently still too young to know better. She’ll be making dough. 🎂🍪

We've got a birthday gift for you. Go buy your holiday gift cards now and save $5 when you buy a $25 gift card. The $5 will automatically be deducted. That's a $25 value for just $20. Your gift card will be emailed directly to you. You can print it off or send it on by email. Christmas shopping sorted!

Ever since Sable Shortbread began, this birthday has landed right in the ramp-up to Christmas shows. Celebrating usually takes a back seat to butter, baking trays and a mountain of cookies.

This year, with the storefront closed for production, we’re making room for some birthday perks: favourite meals all week long, and plenty of cake between batches.

There’ll still be dough to make, cookies to bake and bags to fill. But nobody said you can’t eat cake while the mixer’s running. 😉

Want to help celebrate? Order an Advent calendar online and use code MONTY at checkout for a great discount on Advent calendars! 🎁

Or pick up a discounted gift card online—for someone on your Christmas list, or your own future cookie needs.

A purchase is the greatest gift you can give a small business.

Drop what you’re doing. There are cookies. 🍪

On a SUNDAY? At Sable? Yes, really.

We promised pop-up openings while we’re closed for show-season production, and here’s your first one!

Come stock up on fall flavours and peek behind the scenes at the chaos already taking over the bakery. We’re calling it festive. 😂

Get here early. Get in line. We’ll keep serving until the last person in line has their cookies.

📍 138 Gerrish Street, Windsor
🗓 Sunday, October 25
🕥 10:30 am–1 pm

The Sunday chores can wait. Get over here.

P.S. Get a peek at our festive Christmas T-shirts—and place your order for Sable merch. Because you can wear your good taste, too. 😉

Shortbread Pro Tip: Start with cold butter.

Those recipes that tell you to start with soft butter and cream it until fluffy? That’s not going to create shortbread with the right structure to crumble AND melt in your mouth. .

Start with cold, cubed butter and give it a light mix on low speed. You’re looking for shaggy edges that will grab the sugar when you add it.

The result? Shortbread that crumbles in your mouth, then melts, releasing that unmistakable burst of buttery goodness.

Soft, whipped butter can give you a tender cookie that melts on your tongue. But for shortbread? It should do more than melt. It should crumble first.

Follow along for more tips and techniques that combine tried and true recipes, heritage methods and science to help you make the perfect shortbread this Christmas season.

P.S. We will be talking about that whipped melty shortbread later in the series. Follow us so you don’t miss out on how to make the softest meltiest shortbread, too.
