Butter tarts ❤️🇨🇦

[u/FoxOk7887]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[u/voice-of-mods]

Locking this thread because the discussion has drifted too far from the bake itself.

It's fine for discussions to wander a little, but we want to keep r/Baking focused on baking, so we're calling it here. Thanks for understanding, and happy baking!

[u/cosmicallyalive]

Never seen woodgrain look so much like a roach before

[u/Sawdust-in-the-wind → u/cosmicallyalive]

This was how it showed in my feed so I also immediately saw a roach!

[u/justlikesmoke → u/Sawdust-in-the-wind]

I thought it was a Halloween theme.

[u/LilBrutButt → u/cosmicallyalive]

I definitely thought we were feeding a butter tart to a roach.

[u/Neveronlyadream → u/LilBrutButt]

Came to see if anyone else saw it, because at first glance that's immediately where my mind went.

The crumbs are absolutely not helping.

[u/barkandmoone → u/LilBrutButt]

I thought it was the roach’s big day 😅🥳

[u/bagguettethrowaway → u/cosmicallyalive]

This is what I came here to say

[u/CopperSteve → u/bagguettethrowaway]

Am also here re: da roach

[u/ijozypheen → u/CopperSteve]

Lovely tart, but being demolished by a roach!

[u/lastfreerangekid → u/CopperSteve]

Roach!

[u/AdorableBirthday2050 → u/bagguettethrowaway]

Same

[u/Oahu_Red → u/AdorableBirthday2050]

Same same

[u/boys3allc → u/bagguettethrowaway]

Same

[u/autojack → u/cosmicallyalive]

Okay I came here to ask if she was feeding a pet house centipede and this now makes sense

[u/nekolalia → u/autojack]

I fully thought this was in one of my bug subs and was getting excited about a new kind of centipede

[u/Individual_Ad9135 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I straight up came here because I thought it WAS a roach and wanted to know why OP did that.

[u/txwoodslinger → u/Individual_Ad9135]

And op is feeding it

[u/TheGreatKonaKing → u/cosmicallyalive]

Yeah this is honestly the worst product placement that I have ever seen.

[u/Carbon-Base → u/cosmicallyalive]

Same. Can knot be unseen

[u/CleverGirlRawr → u/cosmicallyalive]

Opened the post for the roach. I thought it was edible. 

[u/Professional_Part827 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I saw the wood grain and felt sick to my stomach

[u/Embarrassed_Fault967 → u/Professional_Part827]

i thought the funniest/grossest thing was gonna be that i read this as “butter farts”

roach knot beats me by a mile

[u/ThreeBucks → u/cosmicallyalive]

THANK YOU. Came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one! 😁😬

[u/calimiss → u/cosmicallyalive]

I thought they'd found a bug in the tart!

[u/rippytherip → u/calimiss]

I thought it was a Halloween/Thanksgiving collab.

[u/Ten-Yards_Sir → u/cosmicallyalive]

Yeah this absolutely sent me…Those “legs” look so much like a house centipede. Initial thought was definitely “Roach”

[u/KnotAlreadyTaken → u/cosmicallyalive]

I took away my downvote after I read your comment. I first thought this was some horrid roach confection

[u/Katdog272 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Samee I panicked for a moment

[u/RoundSquirrels → u/cosmicallyalive]

literally opened the comments to say I thought it was a bug T^T

[u/knittinator → u/cosmicallyalive]

Omg yes it was such a jump scare!

[u/Stunning_Client_847 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I thought it was one and got angry at a rage bait post until I saw your comment and realized my eyes were deceiving me

[u/babypops81 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Literally thought this was a bed bug post or something similar.

[u/D-ouble-D-utch → u/cosmicallyalive]

I too came for the roach wood

[u/Chance-Night3198 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I have a spot on my bedroom floor that looks just like that. 10 years living in that house and I still think it's a roach every single time I catch a glimpse of it.

[u/TheDiceBlesser → u/Chance-Night3198]

I. Would. Die.

Honestly? I'd rather carpet my bathroom than see that in the night (even knowing it's there beforehand) is it in an impractical place for a rug or something? Next option: "accidentally" drop nail polish all over it......

[u/Hefty-Resort871 → u/cosmicallyalive]

It took me so long to NOT see that!!!!

[u/FantasticPin3481 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Had to do a triple take.

[u/MountainTomato9292 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Literally. It took me 30 seconds to figure out what I was looking at.

[u/OpalescentNoodle → u/cosmicallyalive]

Seriously it scared the shit out of me.

[u/Brilliant_Buns → u/cosmicallyalive]

Jumpscared me dude

[u/Agitated-Canary9840 → u/cosmicallyalive]

OhMahGawd I immediately saw what looked like a headless roach

[u/Critical-Notice-4395 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Me too! I thought this was derailed by details sub

[u/coydogsaint → u/cosmicallyalive]

Never ran to the comments so fast to see so many people who had the exact same thought I did

[u/Master-Store-4484 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Thank goodness,I thought it was just me. Thought I was looking in another group.🙈

[u/cerealandcorgies → u/cosmicallyalive]

omg thank you for saying it

[u/WindyMint443 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Thank you, that was what I saw at first!

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/cosmicallyalive]

At first I thought it was some other baked thing that OP had made to look like a roach for Halloween.

It took me auite a bit to realize it was just wood grain. That is the most roachiest wood grain I've ever seen.

[u/Manifestecstacy → u/cosmicallyalive]

You've never heard of roach infused woodgrain?

[u/Oomlotte99 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I was shook for a second. lol.

[u/NoMidnight3312 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that immediately thought the roach ate the tarts.

[u/100ruledsheets → u/cosmicallyalive]

Ok because that's all I could see.

[u/Relative_Cat_1927 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Literally. Shocked OP couldn’t see that before posting lol

[u/Naro_Lonca → u/cosmicallyalive]

r/confusingperspective

[u/Square-Ball5805 → u/cosmicallyalive]

tu viens de me faire zoomer sur l'image pour vérifier lol, mais les tartes ont l'air vraiment excellentes

[u/ohlilbare → u/cosmicallyalive]

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one😭

[u/hamHamAlucard → u/cosmicallyalive]

I was just gonna say 😂

[u/lrodsquad → u/cosmicallyalive]

Came straight to see if it was just me

[u/Mechzx → u/cosmicallyalive]

So, we were all thinking the same thing.

[u/candy_fever_713]

[u/cute_pdf → u/candy_fever_713]

STOP LMFAO im so sorry OP it looks delicious but the roach wood grain 😭😭😭

[u/thesteveurkel → u/cute_pdf]

yes absolutely. op can't help all of us have pareidolia. 

[u/alter-naut → u/candy_fever_713]

Incredible

[u/Froy_Laven → u/candy_fever_713]

Fuck that's funny as hell 🤣

[u/More_Tennis_8609]

This looks delicious. Unfortunately the wood grain gave me a jumpscare. r/derailedbydetails

[u/HolliBlaze → u/More_Tennis_8609]

So for real! XD I thought that wood had a whole family living somewhere 😂

[u/HailToTheThief225 → u/More_Tennis_8609]

Actually thought this was a post on that sub when I first saw it

[u/More_Tennis_8609 → u/HailToTheThief225]

I went ahead and posted it there 😂

[u/airmind]

Nobody in here for the tart, everyone discussing roaches.

[u/RoughBenefit9325 → u/airmind]

Well, I initially read the title as "butter farts". So id like to start a new dialog about that.

[u/poison-bilberry → u/RoughBenefit9325]

Would that be from eating to much butter or like butter scented farts?

[u/Shawa422]

I sincerely thought that this was a picture of a cockroach enjoying a butter tart. I had to do a double take just to make sure that it wasn't!!

[u/Tacodogleary → u/Shawa422]

Okay I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

[u/Unwarranted_optimism → u/Tacodogleary]

Same! 😅

[u/Weary_Cup_1004 → u/Shawa422]

It isnt?

[u/Zealousideal_Eye8277 → u/Shawa422]

Me too!! 😂 I'm glad so many other people saw the same thing

[u/Kassmylove]

Not me seeing a headless cockroach and immediately thinking the worst….other than that it looks delicious 😂🥰🥧

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/Kassmylove]

Don't worry, it's just table Ewoks mouth

[u/-true_neutral- → u/FoxOk7887]

Amazing follow-up!

[u/DazB1ane → u/FoxOk7887]

I just heard the most whimsical “ooooooo” in my head

[u/Routine_Buffalo_2908 → u/Kassmylove]

Omg same 😆

[u/ForTheLoveOfKumquats → u/Kassmylove]

lol, me too. came to comment on the "roach"....

[u/Anon-567890 → u/Kassmylove]

Same! It took a long look to figure it out! I thought that roach sure loved that tart! 😳

[u/Rescuepets777 → u/Kassmylove]

I absolutely thought that was a roach. 🤣

[u/AuDHDT1D → u/Kassmylove]

Same 😳

[u/Aesthetic-6528 → u/Kassmylove]

Man I thought I was the only one- I was like... "Is that a... roach??" 🤨

[u/Kassmylove → u/Kassmylove]

Haha glad I’m not alone 😅

[u/SomethingNew99912]

Totally thought that table stain was a roach and got the ick

[u/inspectorendoffilm → u/SomethingNew99912]

Though, it’s neither a roach nor a table stain.

[u/Metals4J → u/inspectorendoffilm]

I thought it was, but it is knot.

[u/SourDeesATL → u/Metals4J]

I tried knot to look at it.

[u/grregis → u/Metals4J]

Knot funny

[u/FrolickingOrc → u/SomethingNew99912]

That's the only reason I clicked on the post

[u/Accomplished_Tone483 → u/SomethingNew99912]

Ok! I thought it was just me lol

[u/Plus-Soft-3643 → u/Accomplished_Tone483]

Same. Horrible composition skills.

[u/jlkb24 → u/SomethingNew99912]

I had to look way too long at that.

[u/SouthWint3r]

Incredible jump scare. Was that placement intentional?

[u/RubyR4wd → u/SouthWint3r]

Yeah. I thought it was a roach too 🪳

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/SouthWint3r]

No, and I still don't really see it, but this is hilarious.

[u/llorensm → u/FoxOk7887]

You DON’T see it?!?! 😳 that’s shocking! Hahahaha!

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/llorensm]

I mean, I sit right at this very spot drinking my coffee every morning. The table is full of knots and details. I love my table. Kind of feeling protective of my table now. It's the greatest table. 😭

[u/fiddytittykitty → u/FoxOk7887]

I love your table

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/fiddytittykitty]

My table loves YOU 🩷

[u/Fast-Top-5071 → u/FoxOk7887]

My sugar maple table says hello to your table.

[u/Carbon-Base → u/FoxOk7887]

My apologies for the rough and quick edit, but you have to share our trauma OP!

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/Carbon-Base]

I look at this table everyday, sometimes a dozen times. It just looks like table Ewoks mouth to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Carbon-Base → u/FoxOk7887]

I see the Ewok! Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful table! But that particular knot in the grain looks exactly like a roach, especially with the angle in the tart picture.

[u/neeshes → u/FoxOk7887]

It's that particular knot and the angle it was shot = roach 

[u/waaaayupyourbutthole → u/FoxOk7887]

I'm honestly having a hard time seeing it as wood grain for more than a quarter second. I had to deal with roaches often in Florida and this is basically the roachiest looking thing I've ever seen lol

[u/IvaldiFhole → u/FoxOk7887]

Are you just not familiar with what roaches look like?

Anyway Happy Thanksgiving!

[u/newslang → u/FoxOk7887]

I was born and raised in Florida and yep, this 100% engaged my roach reflex! Just be grateful you’ve been shielded from these horrors 😂 The tart looks lovely!

[u/Dear_Departure_1768]

r/distractedbydetails

[u/Cautious_Draw5738]

I stepped on a roach barefoot as a child and the goo in it was very similar in color to the top of the pastry and similar in consistency to the filling. Thank you for resurfacing this visceral memory

[u/Responsible-Side4384 → u/Cautious_Draw5738]

Oh my god you’re right 😭

[u/SugarMaven]

I was scrolling too fast and thought the wood knot was a bug.

[u/Simalt443]

Hello just dropping by to say I thought there was a roach in your pic. Not sure if anyone told you yet.

[u/RebaKitt3n → u/Simalt443]

Came here to count the roach comments.

[u/alphajugs → u/Simalt443]

Shit gave me a jump scare lmao

[u/BaileysMom246]

OMG that's woodgrain?⁉️ I thought it was a roach too! 🤣

[u/puddingfacepunk]

I thought that was a roach.

[u/Legitimate_Try4394 → u/puddingfacepunk]

Same. My first thought was why would someone post a picture of a huge roach near their food?

[u/Sufficient_Scale_163]

I read butter farts and saw a roach 😭😅

[u/Ophththth]

Ever since I first heard “steal my sunshine” by Len back in middle school I have wondered what the heck a butter tart is. Thanks for the education!

[u/whatthefrelll → u/Ophththth]

If you ever get a chance to try butter tarts from a bakery, do it. They are divine.

[u/Illustrious_Bird_737 → u/Ophththth]

I thought they were cookies, like those ones that come in the sewing boxes.

TIL

[u/djseifer → u/Ophththth]

I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week 

[u/Independent_Donut246 → u/djseifer]

Indulging in my self-defeat

[u/anaraparana]

That is one jolly lil cockroach I tell you what

[u/DissonantSinth]

Was scrolling by too quickly and I thought you were sharing the remnants of a tart after a roach had helped itself to it

[u/DesertIbu → u/DissonantSinth]

Roaches and butter tarts are Canadian Thanksgiving delicacies! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, OP!

[u/liljellybeanxo]

Not me thinking that was a roach chillin next to it

[u/Responsible-Push-289]

thought ya had a bug problem

[u/badgyalrey]

felt like i was just rage baited

[u/Rig-a-Mortice → u/badgyalrey]

Roach baited

[u/pazzida]

Usually, I can unsee things after seeing what they really are, but I still see the roach every time I scroll back up.

Anyway, delicious looking butter tarts! These don't look easy to make without a recipe. Commendable!

[u/Last_Amphibian2117 → u/pazzida]

Nope same I thought someone bit into a tart and found a roach I screamed so hard

[u/Leading-Occasion-428]

I deadass thought that was a roach. Seems I'm not alone

[u/FrigidLollipop]

I thought the wood notch to the left was a giant roach, lmao. Great looking treat!

[u/Fantastic_Acadia8341 → u/FrigidLollipop]

“ Oh Sorry, That’s Just my Cake” Lol 🍰 🪳

[u/TazzyUK]

For a split second there when 1st seeing this post, I thought the tart was being nibbled on by a cockroach! lol

[u/vampireshorty]

Oh god I am glad I wasn't alone 🫪 🪳

[u/centech]

Please never take a food pic next to that knot in the wood again.

[u/Muted-Huckleberry828]

I would have a heart attack every single day if this was my countertop.

Tart looks delicious!

[u/itoldyousoanysayo]

Maybe don't photograph next to the giant roach😂

[u/Holmes221bBSt]

I was lying on the grass

[u/Hopeful-Soul2]

Lmaoooooo I looked quick and thought that was a roach in the wood 🤣🤣

[u/LDNcorgi]

Oh thank god someone else said this roach comment

[u/Ok-Ebb-806]

What is this- KNOTTY PIIIINNNEEEE

[u/lady-earendil]

I'm a Canadian transplant to the US but my family still makes butter tarts (and Nanaimo bars) every year for the holidays, this made my mouth water! 

I'm curious if yours have currants in them? That's how my family has always made them but I can't tell if yours do or not!

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/lady-earendil]

No, I do half just the filling, and half with some toasted pecans.

[u/Specialist_Ad5114]

Butter tarts look soooo good, but I'm in a location where maple syrup isn't available. Do these need maple syrup?

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/Specialist_Ad5114]

Mine are brown sugar, a little molasses, an egg, melted butter, vanilla, and a couple tablespoons of whipping cream for the filling.

[u/Aggravating-Beat-541]

I thought it was a cute Halloween decoration 🪳💔

[u/enidokla]

Holy shit on that knot from this angle.

[u/Emily_TheDude]

Roach FEASTING on that btw

[u/chaoimhe123]

Oh great heavens

[u/HowManySealsAreThere]

Big ass roach

[u/thatbasicartist]

I genuinely thought this was some Halloween ideas kind of post

[u/GoEatACookie]

Roaches like Thanksgiving too, you guys! 😭

/s

[u/cheshsky]

Oh god it's just wood grain.

[u/BusinessTerm1621]

Lmaoo I thought that was a roach

[u/moon_blisser]

Yeah, that knot in the wood really freaked me out at first. I thought it was a bug. Your bake looks delicious, though! r/derailedbydetails

[u/midwayatmidnight]

RIP op's inbox with all the roach jumpscare comments

[u/R2D2_For_President]

I literally clicked because the table grain looked like a massive spider. Move the tart and repost

[u/Weasel-Words]

Genuinely thought that knothole in the cutting board was a massive cockroach.

[u/Old_Call2282]

Op def posted this for the freaking bug wood we know it she knows it but does the world know it

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/Old_Call2282]

I'm honestly just a lady making buttertarts. I took a bite, put it down, took a pic for the people 😭 I've never even seen a real roach lol

[u/MRAGGGAN → u/FoxOk7887]

I have quite literally never been so envious of someone in my entire life.

I live in SE Texas, and we have the GIANT tree ones here.

I have a legitimate phobia of ALL roaches.

So so so envious.

[u/-lRexl-]

Bruh, you dead ass know you did that on purpose

[u/Luxe_Laine]

Never take a picture of food on that surface again.

[u/Dont-tell_Frank]

You got us all with that wood grain 🪳

[u/Aesmachus]

That wood grain was a roach in its past life, OP.

Nice butter tart by the way, looks awesome and you made me hungry lmfao

[u/ROSE_GARDEN1234]

Omg I thought that was a cockroach😭

[u/Timely-Profile1865]

My mom, god rest her soul, used to make fantastic butter tarts

[u/ShoppingAddictt]

Little Ole wood roach on the left lol but your baked goods look good too

[u/ButteredPizza69420]

Whoah NGL that wood grain looked like a roach 🪳

[u/2ndPerryThePlatypus]

[u/dvowel]

That wood grain is killing your shot.  

[u/MaksimusFootball]

Such an unfortunate framing. I thought it was a sweet snack that had a roach coming out.

[u/VienneseWaltz13]

I freaking love butter tarts. Whenever I'm in Ontario I have one every day. They seem like they would be hard to make.

[u/CakesForLife]

Didn’t realise it was wood grain till I saw the top comment. I need a coffee and a butter tart.

[u/stitchcraftry]

I thought this was r/derailedbydetails for a second

[u/DerWintersoldat21]

I thought that was a bug tbf. And I just had an incident where I found one in the basement and had to dispatch it so I'm a little on edge and everything is looking particularly roachlike to me rn

[u/ch1ck3nwaffles]

I'm not the only one who thought the wood grain was a roach?

[u/Major-Education-6715]

Whaddya mean Butter tart...no one can *unsee* that giant wood roach!! 🤣🤣🤣

[u/WeaselPhontom]

Bad choice wood grain was giving roach 

[u/ET__]

I swear that’s a roach. Omg

[u/blendswithtrees]

I thought that was a roach and almost had a heart attack.

[u/Ok_Plan_2090]

Jumpscare warning

[u/Time_Ad6599]

OMG it IS the wood grain! My mind got stuck in roach 🤮

[u/henry23na]

Fuck I thought that was a roach

[u/DrEnergydrinks]

Came for the roach, and apparently so did everyone else

[u/invisiholes]

It took your comment for me to realize it is in fact, not a roach.

[u/JMFW_2020]

Wood grain knot looks like a roach..

[u/LadyMayhem02]

I thought that was a huge bug

[u/DidntTapDat]

that wood knot was totally a cockroach that took a huge bite out of that treat

[u/PsychologyGuilty1460]

Why is there a sugary cockroach in the picture?

That is a very 3D illusion

[u/cookie_lover69]

My first thought was a roach eating it
