Absolutely Incredible Custom Cake!…read more Suhani created this absolutely stunning cake for our daughter Aditi's 10th birthday, and we honestly could not have been more impressed! The theme of the party was a tropical rainforest with a waterfall, and somehow she managed to capture the entire theme in a cake. The attention to detail was incredible. From the cascading waterfall and rocks to the greenery, vines, flowers, birds, snakes, chameleon, and all the tiny jungle details, every part of the cake was thoughtfully designed and beautifully handmade. The cake matched our backdrop and decorations so perfectly that it genuinely looked like it had been created as part of the entire party setup. What impressed us most was the amount of creativity, time, and effort that clearly went into making it. This wasn't just a birthday cake! It was a centerpiece and a work of art. Our guests kept stopping to look at all the details and asking who made it! And most importantly, Aditi absolutely loved seeing her name incorporated into her own little rainforest waterfall. It made her 10th birthday celebration that much more special and memorable. Suhani, thank you for putting so much thought, care, and talent into making something so beautiful for Aditi. You completely exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be coming back to you for future celebrations although after this masterpiece, you may have set the bar dangerously high!

I highly recommend Cakes Nest in Rocklin! Suhani was incredibly responsive and got back to me…read moreimmediately after I inquired about a quote. I sent her a photo of the exact cake design I wanted along with our flavor choice, and she nailed it. The final cake looked identical to the reference picture and tasted absolutely amazing. We chose the lemon cake with raspberry buttercream, and it was a huge hit. Beautiful work and excellent customer service!

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.

Chef Metin is super nice!…read more We needed a cake for my husband's birthday and I wanted to get something a little more unique than a Costco cake. Looked on Yelp and saw Northstar's 5 star reviews and figured this would be a good opportunity to check it out. Great communication--Chef is fast at replying and he's super friendly in his emails. You can tell he is a happy and caring guy just based on his written responses. He also offers delivery for a small charge. I think we paid $20 which was worth it so I didn't have to worry about picking up a cake amidst a very busy schedule. Our cake was priced at $4-5/slice. Not cheap but it was reasonable. We got one mango and one strawberry. I sent photos of the theme we were going for, which was a Hawaiian theme. I wanted the cakes to look like a Hawaiian shirt. On the day of the event, Chef Metin delivered the cakes with a smile. I learned he used to be in the tech industry (I think he was a software engineer?) but now he does baking full time, which started out as a hobby. How fun! The cakes tasted great. We even had a few guests asking where we got them, to which we told them about Northstar Baking. My only area of improvement would be the look of the cakes. They didn't look like Hawaiian shirts and the color was a strange purplish-gray, which looked a little odd (though it doesn't look too bad in my photo). But I probably should have communicated a theme color or discussed the look better. But other than that, it was a unique cake and the guests were happy. Would definitely recommend Northstar and Chef Metin to friends and family!

If I could only choose one bakery for the rest of my life, it would be Coco Cake Bakery…read more Coco is not a traditional French bakery, although it could easily outperform most of them without breaking a sweat. It is something rarer, a kind of culinary alchemy where the soul of a Mexican bakery meets the precision of a French one and then raises the roof entirely. Everything here is made in house, which sounds obvious until you realize how few places actually do it. Fillings, toppings, doughs, creams, all of it crafted from scratch with the kind of intention you can taste. I had a pineapple empanada where the pineapple still had texture, real structure, not the mush you find in lesser hands. We have had the tres leches cake, a genuine masterpiece, and the sweet rolls which might very well be the best anywhere. Most bakeries load their cases with dozens of options and hit "pretty good" on most of them. Coco chooses fewer and executes each one perfectly. That is the difference. This is a place you want to see still standing twenty years from now, doing exactly what it is doing today, untouched by shortcuts or trends. Because Coco is built on something deeper. You can feel the heritage in the pastries, a lineage that did not come from a school or from climbing the ladder in someone else's kitchen. These recipes feel like they came from the old lands and were brought forward with respect. No corners cut, no fast rising yeast, no modern twists for the sake of novelty. Just the way things were meant to be made. My "triad of culinary excellence" holds strong here. Ambiance: the smell alone is heavenly, and the space is clean, warm, and inviting. Service: above and beyond, with the baker himself willing to accommodate anything you ask and owners who are as genuine as they are talented. Pastries: excellent, full stop. You can taste the love and the pride in every single one. When the sweet rolls came out hot from the oven, the aroma of sugar and yeast filled the air and made every other bakery's attempt feel inadequate by comparison. Coco doesn't just make pastries, it restores your faith in what a bakery is supposed to be. If you have only one bakery left to choose, make it this one. Coco Cake Bakery is the standard.

Heard about this bakery from Alma S. and just happened to be in the area, so we decided to check it…read moreout. The bakery is super cute with different things to offer. They had different baked items like conchas, empanadas, and cinnamon buns inside these cabinets. There are also a table with different cookies and slices of cakes in the frigerated area. There was a tray and tongs at the main table for you to pick your items. The cabinets have glass doors, and the cookie display are also glass. I was there with my 3 year old, so I made sure we were extra careful because he's like a bull in china shop. We checked out and since we spent a certain amount, we got a chance to get 5% off on their toy basketball hoop. Super fun idea! They also gave some candy to my little one. The mentioned they offer custom cakes and need advance notice for it. We brought home our goodies and they were delicious! The empanadas weren't too sweet and the conchas and cookies were spot on. Definitely taste freshly homemade. A wonderful bakery and we can't wait to try more.
