Tea cakes are soft, lightly sweetened cakes or breads traditionally served with tea. They have a mild flavor and are typically made with ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Our tea cakes are based on a family recipe passed down through generations, offering a tender, biscuit-like texture and a subtle sweetness.

Tea cakes tend to be softer and more cake-like than cookies, which are often firmer or crunchier. They are generally less sweet than cookies, making them perfect to pair with tea or coffee. Our tea cakes are simple, wholesome, and made with no preservatives, unlike most cookies that often include added chocolate, nuts, or other extras.

We offer a wide variety of flavors, including: Classic Lemon Buttermilk Strawberry Blueberry Banana Peanut Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Peach Caramel Cheesecake We are always experimenting with new flavors, so check back often for seasonal and limited-time options!

Our story dates back to the early 1800s when my great-great-grandmother, Tue Ridley, began baking tea cakes on a plantation. This family tradition was passed down through the generations to my grandmother, Mary Washington, who is still with us today. In 2023, we founded Grandma Lady Lue Tea Cakes to continue this legacy, and today we proudly share our family recipe with you.
