Our Story
An Heirloom Recipe,
Passed by Hand.
From Doucette, Texas
Doucette Tea Cakes began in a tiny East Texas community just outside Woodville. Back roads, open pastures, and two family kitchens less than a mile apart. Our founder Carmen Lynnette grew up spending summers between her grandmothers Etta Mae and Maxine, where the food was made from scratch and the sweet things were the highlight.
The old-fashioned tea cakes they baked stayed with her. Carmen's own mother carried those recipes forward, and now Carmen bakes them by hand: soft in the center, lightly crisp at the edges, simple, unforgettable.

What Is a Doucette Tea Cake?
More than a sweet treat, it's a piece of Southern tradition. Named after the small East Texas community where generations of our family gathered, Doucette Tea Cakes are handcrafted the old-fashioned way: soft, buttery, lightly sweet, and made from scratch with simple ingredients. Every batch is handcrafted with the hope that it becomes part of someone else's memories, just as these recipes became part of ours.
