Texas Pecan Cakes is a profitable, award-winning Austin brand built around a distinctive Texas-shaped pecan cake, winner of H-E-B's Quest for Texas Best in 2017. It has grown from a local product into a CPG brand with a proven Shopify DTC engine, an expanding wholesale footprint, and a tested co-manufacturer ready to scale.

Financials: 2025 sales $222K, up 68% YoY, with Q4 up 180%. Gross margin 65%. SDE $103K. Asking price is roughly 1.3x SDE and in line with the included assets, so the brand, recipes, accounts, and growth come on top of the equipment and inventory. Full financials available under NDA.

Revenue & Channels: DTC via Shopify, Faire, Airgoods, and Walmart Marketplace. 35+ seasonal retail doors. Two major grocery accounts are in the pipeline for a Fall 2026 launch, each a potential step-change in volume.

Growth Opportunities: The product, margins, and channels are already built, so growth from here is demand and distribution, not a rebuild. This pace has come with marketing still underused, which points to real headroom.

Marketing: paid and organic advertising are underused, and a 5,700-subscriber email list is an immediate, low-cost lever, especially at the holidays. An always-on Meta and Google funnel plus consistent content can move TPC from regional favorite toward a national gifting brand. High-fit channels remain untapped, including TikTok, Pinterest, and Etsy, all strong for a visual, gift-able food product.

Holiday DTC: a pecan cake is a natural holiday gift. Seasonal and retail-ready packaging, gift bundles, and corporate gifting can concentrate revenue into Q4. A 30-day ambient shelf life and nationwide shipping make it well suited to corporate gifting at volume. In 2025, Q4 sales rose 180% with minimal marketing and no holiday-themed assets, so a focused holiday push and a corporate gifting program are clear near-term wins.

Product expansion: the same kitchen and co-manufacturer can produce new SKUs without new equipment. Seasonal flavors such as gingerbread, pumpkin, bourbon pecan, and cornbread let TPC ride flavor trends and run limited holiday releases. Alternative formats, such as pecan cake bites in a retail bag, open grab-and-go retail, checkout placement, and multipacks. Each new SKU adds gifting occasions, shelf space, and average order value at low incremental cost.

Recurring revenue: subscriptions, a cake-of-the-month, and repeat corporate gifting can lift lifetime value beyond one-time orders.

B2B: room to expand across wholesale, retail, corporate gifting, corporate events, festivals (BBQ and state fair), farmers markets, and delivery and marketplace platforms.

National reach: Amazon and broadline distribution remain untapped.
