WORCESTER – The Queen’s Cups, at 56 Water St., announced through its social media channels that after 13 years in business, it will close its doors on Sunday, June 29.

Renne King, the founder of the specialty bakery, describes a particularly difficult last three years for the business, that led to her taking on “crushing debt.” She said she kept pushing forward for her team, which she described as family.

King also cited family reasons as part of the decision, saying she, “realized my kids and my husband deserve more than what’s left of me at the end of the day. This wasn’t their dream—it was mine.” The full message can be found below.

The Queen’s Cups features a menu that changes daily with a mix of cupcakes, cakes, cookies, fluffer nutters, macaroons, cheesecakes and other baked goods. The bakery opens 10 AM to 6 PM through Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM on Saturday, and 10 AM to 5 PM on its final day of business, Sunday.
