I am a lover of cupcakes, all desserts, really. I visit bakeries in nearly every city I travel to and honestly, I don't understand what the fuss is about with Bettie's. Yes, double decker bus, it's a cute idea...and they have cute decor... I've tried Bettie's a few times and wouldn't have ever written a review, except that each time,... More

We tried two cupcakes, the Samoa (chocolate cake, cream cheese/caramel frosting, toasted coconut) and another with a caramel cheesecake frosting (also chocolate cake). There was very little to no chocolate flavor in the moist cake. The frosting on both were way to sweet for me. I liked neither. One of my daughters only ate one bite of hers. And she... More

I love the food at Bettie's Cakes. All of the cup cakes have been great and I'm a huge fan of their ice cream. More

We were just browsing stores and stumbled into this little cupcake store. The cupcakes are sooo cute and adorable. It is 2.50/cupcake - my daughters like the way she designed those cupcakes. We got the cotton candy, samoa, chocolate and eggnog. Yummy! More

I always look for the cupcake bakeries whenever i travel. I have been to many Betties Cakes is right up there with my favorites. I had a red velvet and vanilla. Both were outstanding and I wish i bought more to take home. The cupcake was very moist with is one of the most important in my book. The frosting... More

I have been to Bettie's in Latham (at Hoffman's playland) and am always dazzled by the many delicious flavors of cupcakes. Yes it's kitschy but that's their schtick and it works. As for being overpriced.... If you've been to a specialty bakery before you know this isn't the case. They are comparable with their competition. They are also miles above... More

There was a cupcake place in Saratoga prior that fell flat! Bettie's is wonderful, because of Bettie's I know try cupcakes in all my travels. So far no cupcakes can even compete. They have a new lavender cupcake with a cream cheese icing, it is fantastic. I make that cupcake disappear in 5 seconds. More

Those who yell the loudest aren't always the smartest. In the same vein, the cupcake shop that yells about itself the most, that begs to be noticed and will do anything for publicity, isn't necessarily the place with the good cupcakes. Just 'cause you recognize their name doesn't mean their product is quality. And these cupcakes simply fall flat --... More

I found the coconut cupcakes to be very tasty, while my daughter quickly made a blue cupcake disappear faster than anything! Very pricey but great for a treat every now and then! More

As another reviewer described it’s a very retro place, very cute and hip. It’s located in a little indoor mall. So delicious. Try the red velvet cupcakes so fresh. More
