Texas Pecan Cakes (TPC) — Winner of the H-E-B Quest for Texas Best — is a turnkey, high-margin artisan bakery brand ready for its next owner to scale into grocery and beyond. This Austin-based premium brand delivers handcrafted, Texas-shaped pecan cakes with authentic regional appeal, a proven DTC engine, and rapidly growing wholesale distribution.

Financial Performance
TPC posted $222K in 2025 gross sales — a 68% jump from 2024 — driven by DTC e-commerce and new wholesale wins. Gross margins are an exceptional 60%, reflecting disciplined founder management of procurement, production, and logistics. 2026 YoY sales are tracking up 92% through April. Revenue is approximately 70% DTC shipping, 20% wholesale/retail, and 10% events/gifting. Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) represent approximately 37% of gross revenue.

Operations & Assets
Fully equipped with $125K in fixed FF&E — including custom Texas-shaped baking pans, commercial freezers, KitchenAid mixer, and smallwares — plus $17.8K in variable assets (ingredients, packaging, shipping supplies). The business operates from a commercial kitchen in South Austin on a flexible, non-binding renewable contract. National DTC fulfillment runs through texaspecancakes.com; Facebook/Instagram accounts and all vendor relationships transfer fully. Scaled, commercialized recipes and Texas packaging die/tool included.

Market Position & Growth Upside
TPC has been approached by — and turned down — large grocery holiday purchase orders due to current capacity constraints. That demand is ready for a new owner to capture via increased capacity or copacker. Buyer is working with two copackers for upcoming holiday season. The gifting channel is particularly underpenetrated: 6-packs are proven sellers for holidays, corporate gifting, and Texas-themed events. Currently placed in 35+ boutique retailers with 2 large grocery accounts launching fall 2026. Untapped channels include Amazon, additional grocery chains, and national festival/event sales.

Why Buy Now?
The founder is selling to pursue other ventures and is committed to a smooth transition, including hands-on training (negotiable, typically 4-6 weeks). Step into a profitable, asset-rich business with no liabilities, existing customer relationships, and multiple clear paths to 2-3x growth.
