Signature's Eatery isn't actually a bakery and I spotted a more legit bakery later on, but I was lured in by the "butter tarts" sign on the outside of the building. That being said, Signature's Eatery is well, an eatery: a lunch spot/cafe serving soup and sandwiches, but they also make their own desserts. While there, this was pretty much limited to butter tarts. But I like butter tarts, so it was definitely worth trying.

Outwardly, the butter tarts looked like the ones I'm actually not that fond of. Oversized and with a very thick shell, I was afraid this would be overwhelmingly doughy and difficult to tackle. It was a bit hard to delve into, but I was surprised that all my preconceived notions were soon to be thrown out the door. This proved to be a delicious butter tart that blended all components into one yummy experience. Good tart shell (perhaps a little too thick nonetheless) with a great filling and this amazing baked butter layer on top, this is was good stuff and hey, it turned into a worthy Cake Tour stop after all. :)
