A little Texas on the dessert table is a good way to start a gathering. We’re welcoming Texas Pecan Cakes to Main Street Collective, bringing Austin-baked cakes, San Saba pecans and a distinctive Texas shape to our food and gift selection.
This family-owned bakery makes its cakes in small batches. The result is a pecan-rich treat with caramelized edges and a soft center, ready to share over coffee or tuck into a thoughtful thank-you gift.
From Austin, with San Saba pecans
The maker’s own FAQ traces the pecans and pecan meal to the San Saba region of Texas. The recipe brings them together with brown sugar, eggs, maple syrup, flour and vanilla. That combination gives these cakes a place at the table alongside the Southern sweets many of us grew up sharing.
There is a family recipe behind the bakery, too. Its roots go back to Lorraine McCoy, whose family wanted an alternative to the traditional fruitcake. Today’s cakes keep that spirit of making something people look forward to receiving. You can read more about those beginnings in Authentic Texan’s feature on the bakery.
Choose the size for your occasion
We’ve added seven options, from smaller gifts to cakes for a gathering. Here’s where to start:
- A small thank-you: The Small Pecan Cake 3-Pack brings three personal-sized cakes together for a friend, teacher or neighbor.
- A boxed gift: The Small Pecan Cake 4-Pack comes in a gift box, an easy choice for congratulations or a host gift.
- A few more to share: The Small Pecan Cake 6-Pack is a good fit for the office break room, a weekend visit or a dessert tray.
- Something for the table: Choose the Medium Texas Pecan Cake 1-Pack or the Medium Texas Pecan Cake 2-Pack. The two-pack lets you select the topping for each cake.
- A larger centerpiece: The Large Texas Pecan Cake weighs 32 ounces and serves approximately 8–10 people, depending on the slices.
- An event or larger group: The 30-Pack of Small Texas Pecan Cakes gives you individual cakes for a celebration or gathering.
Find your favorite topping
The current selection includes Butter Toffee, Chopped Pecans, Pecan Halves and Chocolate Chip, with mixed selections available in several packs. If you’re buying for a group, a variety pack is a simple way to offer a choice. Check each product page for the exact combinations and current availability.
Before sending a food gift, check the recipient’s dietary needs and review the ingredient and allergen information on the product page and packaging. Topping ingredients vary.
