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!

https://www.facebook.com/Cupcakeables…read more First off I met the owner of this little "at home" business at a Farmer's Market in Ocala Downtown. and OH MY GOD! These cupcakes are absolutely to die for! The best hands down that I've had in Ocala! She is an at home business run based on the cottage law, I think it's called. Her cupcakes seem a reasonable price. I've seen other cupcakes in the area go for like $2.50 a piece. I think that's a lot. Although Cupcakeables doesn't sell individual cupcakes ( you can buy 1 dozen of the regular sized cupcakes or 2 dozen mini cupcakes) if you do the math they are about $1.75 a piece for the regular cupcakes and $.75 a piece for the little ones. The cupcakes are nice and moist (not dry like some others I've tried in the area), and the icing is more buttery than sugary. I tried her Jake's Cakes, Strawberry Margarita and Chai Latte. The Jake's Cake are a must for chocolate lovers!! A chocolate cake filled with a creamy chocolate filling and then a chocolate frosting! It's heaven! Strawberry Margarita was cool looking! Strawberry cake with a lime frosting. Loved the colors and tasted like a real Strawberry Margarita. I understand she will put the tequila in if you request it! Score! And the Chai Latte was just like eating a Chai Latte! The spices were nice and not overpowering. I am ordering her Peanut Butter cupcakes for next week!! Can't wait as I am a peanut butter lover!! She fills them with a peanut butter truffle filling!! O...M...G!! All of her cupcakes are made to order. She has lots of flavors to choose from and especially encourages you to request a flavor you like if she doesn't have it on her list! I am a big advocate of small businesses!! Will definitely go back again!!! Her Facebook page is much more active than the blog I found. https://www.facebook.com/Cupcakeables

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.

The staff were super sweet and I decided to get a treat and ordered my matcha. The instant I saw the matcha I should have just left it there. Pale, sad, barely there green. I ordered the fall harvest flavor and legit tasted like cotton candy!? It was overwhelmingly sweet and tasted so bad after a few sips to even figure out what the heck this taste was, I chucked it in the trash. It's crazy to me I'd rather waste my money than to go back and have them remake or tell them how awful it was because I feel bad. I honestly should have just asked how their matcha was sourced and or made in a latte and I probably wouldn't have gotten it. We also got a strawberry cupcake- the actual cake part was so dense - it was awful- taste and texture wise. The pumpkin cupcake and the peanut butter marshmallow sandwich was ok. But to spend over $20 and to not even eat or drink what I just bought- to me is very disappointing.
