TextButton Icon with Two Line Label/Text, Is it possible?

Issue

Trying to make a card menu that is a quick link to app’s main sections. I tried using TextButton.Icon ( but since the word count varies too much from 8-letter word to 19-letter word, the font size becomes too small for the shorter word, so the aesthetics looks weird.

I’m thinking to make the label of the button to two lines as shown in the JPEG attached.

Wondering if this is possible with a container inside a material button instead?

import 'dart:ui';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';

class QuickMenu extends StatelessWidget {
  const QuickMenu({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

      home: Scaffold(

          backgroundColor: Colors.white,
          flexibleSpace: Container(

Solution

Try with this and also if you used a list or column you can make it expanded
