    I reached out to them about creating a custom birthday cake for my spouse's birthday and Chef did an amazing job! He worked with me to create a custom creation that was absolutely perfect, and went above and beyond to deliver something more beautiful and delicious than I could have imagined! I can't reccomend enough! :)

    First and foremost, we REALLY try to support local business. It is a no brainer to do so, when business owners go ABOVE & BEYOND. Not just with quality of products, but their outstanding service. Metin is himself, deserving of 5 stars. Let's talk about our 1st purchase, a special birthday cake. This beauty is red velvet, with real cream cheese frosting. The cake was the most decadent moist red velvet EVER. Cake is NOT super sweet, he uses all natural ingredients, and less sugar. Frosting was real cream cheese, with tiny hint of lemon. The floral decor? ALL edible. In all honestly, outside of $100+ cakes I've ordered, the most visually appealing cake I've ordered---business, OR personal. OUTSTANDING! His daily treats in bakery case, a must. Next time, we leave with some of his gorgeous baklava! A Placer County (and beyond) FIND!

    Metin was great and very easy to work with. I told him we wanted a peanut butter chocolate cake, and he made the vision I didn't even know I had come to life. The cake was beautiful, and tasted delicious. Usually, cakes are too sugary for my taste, but this one was just right! Everyone loved it. We finished the whole thing.

    North Star will show you the way!! This cake was such an amazing piece from start to finish. I say piece cuz this is not just a cake, it's a piece of art!! Chef Matin is a genius and definitely a master of his craft! This lemon cake delighted the taste buds, tantalized the senses and was a vision to behold!! If you're lost and can't find your way in the sea of baker's available to you, just look up, spot the brightest star and follow the North Star all the way home to delicious delights!!

    Wow, where do I event start! I ordered a German chocolate cake for my mom's 60th Birthday! She is ver particular about her sweets and especially her cakes. Northstar Baking did such a phenomenal job on this cake, from the texture to taste it was simply amazing. My husband who doesn't like sweets even tried and was impressed with the flavor. The cake didn't have that over barring sugar frosting flavor, instead it was light and fluffy but still sweet enough. I will be ordering from Northstar Baking in the future.

    I've been Keto for 2 months now and once in a while want something sweet- like a dessert sweet! In the East Bay, I have yet to find a bakery that carries Keto friendly desserts. Today, I was visiting my sister in Roseville and saw a post about a bakery trying out Keto desserts. Got right into my sister's car and drove out there. It's a small "hole in the wall" shop- we missed it the first time around. Upon entering- I walked almost straight into where the desserts are made- it's a quaint place. The man who does the baking asked if I needed help and I let him know that I wanted to try out his Keto friendly desserts. He had 7 cupcakes left and I wasn't too sure what the cupcake would taste like, so asked for three. I didn't even think- duh- buy one, taste it, and if I like it THEN buy more- that way I'm not stuck with yucky tasting desserts! Anywhos- the owner then cut me a piece of cupcake and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!! So amazingly yummy!!! No taste of fake sugar- and just the right sweetness. LOVED IT! I asked how many net carbs and found out - 2 per cupcake- not bad at all. I took the rest of the cupcakes left in the window case!! $2.75 a cupcake. He gave my the one I tried for free and I paid for 6- $16.00- so less than the $2.75 per cupcake. Very nice man- wish I would have asked his name. He has just started the Keto baking, so a lot more to come! Wish I could taste them all! I have a feeling I'll be sending my sister there to grab me some before her visits to see me!! Thank you! Highly recommend!

    Fresh fruit, flowers, macaroons, and mouthwatering creme with a delicious sponge!

    By far, an amazing cake to look at and melt in your mouth!!! So beautifully decorated and the taste is perfect; light and fresh and just a little amount of sweet! I have recommended this bakery to all I know looking for the cake that is the next level. Thank you so much Northstar Home Baking for making a perfect cake for my daughter's birthday!

    Chef Metin was so kind and helpful with my request for this cake. He was super responsive and even helped me decide what flavors I wanted for the cake. My friends and I absolutely love the design and taste of the cake. I will definitely be using Northstar Home Baking again. Thank you, Chef Metin! ‍

    Thank you Chef for a delicious pastry order to close out the school year! You are always so pleasant to work with and willing to go above and beyond.

    I'm wanting to share some of these decadent pastries we found today at Northstar Home Baking. It's so refreshing to find a bakery that offers handmade, fresh, and organic options to choose from. Another wonderful thing about this company is everything is made fresh daily. Everything we bought was so delicious, and heavenly. The owner Metin Emek is a kick in the pants, and such a wonderful soul. He treats everyone that comes into his shop as if they were his family. Thank you Metin for taking the time telling us about your pastries, and how you made them. You warmed my soul, and made me laugh more than once. On a side note I own my own business in Rocklin so it is super important that we support eachother, and our local businesses.

    Are you open for new orders?

    With preorders yes.

    I would like to order a birthday cake for the 11th but I am not sure how to connect with your company. I've tried the phone number listed but no one ever answers and I am unable to leave a voicemail. I would also like to know how many svgs per cake?

    Hello, please visit our webpage and request a quote for your cake. For your convenience I am attaching our email. Info@northstarhomebaking.com Thank You.

    Hello. Where are you guys located? I went to the location listed in Yelp and that address is incorrect. When I went to your website, there's a second address listed but that led me to a farmer's market. Thank you.

    We take Catering Orders and Gourmet Cake Orders at the moment. Our Store Front is Closed and YELP should update the old address. Thank You

    Hello, Do you guys have any dairy, egg, nut, gluten, soy free cakes? I'm just looking for my daughter's birthday cake. She is super allergic to everything.

    Unfortunately No for the moment until further notice.

    Can you have a Mediterranean breakfast here?

    I ordered a custom birthday cake and paid $117 upfront through Zelle…read more After I sent the payment, the owner informed me she no longer had access to that Zelle account. She said she would contact her bank and still confirmed my order. Just two days before my daughter's birthday party, the owner told me her family had norovirus and offered to either make the cake or cancel with a full refund. I appreciated her honesty and chose to cancel since the cake would be served to many children. Having to find a replacement cake only two days before the party caused me a great deal of stress, a parent planning a large birthday celebration, this added unnecessary pressure during an already busy time. Despite that, I remained understanding because I knew her family's illness was beyond her control. The owner asked for other ways to refund me, I sent her my Venmo information and she promised my refund would be sent "in the next couple of days." More than a week later, I still have not received my $117 refund despite multiple polite follow-up messages. I also contacted my bank, but they explained they couldn't dispute the payment because it was successfully sent to her Zelle account. Since the recipient banks with a different financial institution, they couldn't investigate what happened after the funds were received. What frustrated me the most throughout this experience was the lack of communication. I never knew if or when I would receive a response. Sometimes I had to follow up just to get an update, and now my messages have gone unanswered altogether. A simple update would have gone a long way. I understand emergencies happen, and I genuinely appreciated the owner's honesty about her family's illness. However, promising a refund, acknowledging the payment issue was their responsibility and then failing to communicate or issue the refund has been very disappointing. As of today, more than a week after she promised to send my refund, I am still waiting to receive it and have not received any communication from her. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this bakery at all.

So, of course, here I am jumping out of the car and strolling over to see what's left on a Sunday (Mother's Day) afternoon. Unfortunately for me, they were out of there incredible looking cinnamon rolls and apple fritters. The photos from other Yelpers made me jealous. Instead, I got some donut holes and a chocolate croissant. The nice lady had a thick accent, but we got things figured out, and she even threw in some extra donut holes for me. The donut holes were incredible. Absolutely melt in your mouth. Perfection. The chocolate croissant was not flaky or crispy, but had that classic donut shop chewy texture, and of course, was loaded with chocolate. I HAVE to come back for the apple fritter, as that's one of my favorite donuts, and the cinnamon rolls look insane. I will be back!

Drinking 3/4 of a regular-sized cup carried me through the whole day! Taste-wise, pretty good as well and actually reminded me of pumpkin pie lol. Quite noticeable pumpkin flavor, and the brew itself gave a smooth and toasty flair (like the crust part of a pumpkin pie :p). Another seasonal drink that I tried was the pumpkin cold foam chai, and it pretty much was like a melted milkshake with a little bit of chai flavor lol. Didn't notice much pumpkin at all. Too milky for my liking, but if you're a fan of Starbucks Frappucinos, then this might be the seasonal drink for you. As for the desserts here, I enjoyed the eclair (nicely assembled and had smooth and rich dark chocolate on it) but was disappointed on the fruit tart (the fruit toppings were vibrant and plump, but the custard was missing a strong vanilla taste and I wasn't a fan of the egg-white-based crust that ended up sticking to the foil cardboard base). Friendly staff. Super cozy cafe vibes especially with the pothos houseplants (so cute that water propagations of cuttings are table decor). Ample lot parking.
