Tim Simpson began his baking career at 20 King St in Kitchener.  He then when on to George Brown College where he and Aura met.  From there he worked at Jump Restaurant as the pastry chef.  Next was work at one of the best pastry shops in Toronto, Bonjour Brioche.  After 3 years and 50 000 croissants he left for  an assistant bakery manager position in the new Whole Foods  Market Store in West Vancouver.  After moving back to Kitchener he decided to bring his love of bread and french pastries to the downtown community.

Aura Hertzog was raised in a B and B in downtown Toronto.  After graduating with a BA in Geography form York University she decided to follow her passion of food to George Brown College.  While at GBC she began working in the kitchen at the Windsor Arms Hotel under chef JP Challet.  From there she went on as chef at Oyster Boy and then associate team leader at Whole Foods Market in Toronto.  She was able to work and learn from chef Elaina Asselin.  With Tim in tow she accepted a new position as Team leader of prepared foods in the West Vancouver Whole Foods Market Store.  After 4 years with the company and a baby on the way she and Tim moved back to Ontario.  With Tim’s talent in pastries and her love of customers she knew that Golden Hearth was the next venture for them.
