    I have been here many times and let me tell you she makes some of the best Cupcakes around...she…read moresells a variety of delicious flavors that make you want to come back and try another...as soon as you arrive you are greeted and taken care of right away, fast service and your on your way..her shop is just adorable and so homey inside and very welcoming..you have to check out her Cakes, they are a work of art..if you are on the Crystal River area, you must stop in!

    I actually found out about Queen of Cakes from an ad on Facebook. What intrigued me the most was…read morethat she offers Keto baked goods. Great for those people like my husband and I watching their carbohydrate intake. My husband who loves sweets had to give them up when he became a severe diabetic and misses them so much. With Queen of Cakes keto baked items he can have an occassional treat without raising his blood sugar significantly. Queen of Cakes also offers delicious regular baked items plus beautifully decorated cakes for special occasions. She also bakes savory items such as biscuits, rolls, mini pizzas, take and bake pizza dough plus pepperoni pizza rolls. Queen of Cakes is a small business but the owner/ baker bakes an impressive amount and variety of baked goods. Beautifully baked and decorated there's something for everybody in her bakery cases. I love the fact that she sells pieces of cake along with her numerous cupcakes. Whenever I go my husband warns me don't overspend because quite frankly everything in her bakery just calls out to me! I do hope you will try our hidden gem of a bakery here in Crystal River and support a small business whose owner is wonderful and will do anything to make her customers happy!

    Fantastic cakes, cupcakes, cookies and customer service. They have food too that looks absolutely…read moreamazing. Sandwiches, quiches, soups and salads that I have not tried but I need to. The bakery Cafe is inside of "Your Heart's Desire" which may be a bit unusual but it works. It's in the back to the right and quite adorable. There are quite a few tables set up for dine in and counter set up for take out. There are cakes available for immediate needs and slices too. If you would like to special order just come in or call and you can ask for something specific that you like baked for you. The staff is lovely and there to please it was a pleasure to walk in and talk with them and bring home such delicious moist tasty treats for my family today. This is definitely the best bakery in Ocala, the cakes are simply fabulous!

    Betty Cakes Cafe, located inside the Your Hearts Desire gift shop in Ocala, is a charming bakery…read moreand café that pays homage to its founder, Miss Betty Williamson. The café offers a variety of lunch options, including quiche, soup, chicken salad, and deli sandwiches. My review, however, is based solely on Betty Cakes' cakes, as I've only stopped in for takeout desserts and haven't yet had the opportunity to sit down and enjoy lunch and cake at the café. Over the years, I've tried several of their specialty cake flavors, including Easter Dirt, Strawberry Shortcake, and Guava, as well as their Bundt cakes such as Sour Cream Pound, German Chocolate Rum, Hummingbird, and Pumpkin. Every one of them has been delicious. What I appreciate most is that these cakes don't just taste wonderful--they look special. Each slice appears to have been made with care and attention to detail. They're the kind of desserts that make you feel like you're treating yourself to something truly special, as if that slice of cake was made just for you. The cakes are consistently moist, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it's a seasonal specialty cake or one of their Bundt cakes during the holidays, I've found myself returning again and again. In fact, I've made it a tradition to stop by for their specialty and holiday cakes throughout the year. There are plenty of places to buy dessert, but Betty Cakes creates cakes that are both tasty and memorable. The quality, presentation, and homemade touch keep me coming back. That's why I continue to be a loyal returning customer. If you're looking for a dessert that looks as good as it tastes, Betty Cakes Cafe is definitely worth a visit.
