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! :)

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.

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!

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!
Dianne G.

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.

Organic berries.

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?

She even suggested that we have a tour of the menu with a tasting as it's curtesy for all first time guest. As Celin (I think that's how you spell her name) our scooper brought us around the whole menu while describing what nuances we should be tasting I couldn't help but to love every bite! Even the more interesting ones like goat cheese habanero. It was delightful to be treated with such great hospitality as we were just ordering ice cream!

I'd been to one down in SoCal before, so I already knew I was probably making a good decision. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile. The shop was clean, the vibe was good, and the staff immediately offered samples. Honestly, that's a dangerous game because suddenly I wanted everything. After trying a couple flavors and joking around with the crew, they suggested the Birthday Cakes & Blackberries. Sold. It was the perfect mix of sweet with just enough blackberry to balance it out. Definitely hit the spot on a warm night. The ice cream was great, but the people working there made the visit even better. Friendly, patient, and happy to let me sample a few flavors without making me feel rushed. If you're at The Fountains and that dessert craving sneaks up on you, this place is worth the stop. Just don't blame me if you leave with more than one scoop.

Right when you walk in, the sweet aroma of fresh baked sweets welcomed you in. There was a good crowd inside which we thought were waiting to order but found out they were waiting for the fresh baked sweet bread. A must if you ever try any. Just looking through the case of all the amazing creation. Basically fancy donuts. One after the other. They also had a few savory items included. Didn't get any but they looked amazing. We ended up going with the bad bundles. Half dozen donuts and 20 piece staxx. Found out that's what people were waiting for when we walked in. Everyone was waiting for them to come fresh out of the oven hence the long wait. It did take a while for us but we were offered a cookie to try while waiting. It was delicious, I do recommend the ube cookies. After what did take a long while, we tried our fresh HOT box of staxx. Let me say, wow they were amazing and of course hot. Straight from the oven. Nice moist bread with a nice sweet glaze. I can see what the hype was about with them. Everyone in line for them. We didn't get a chance to try the donuts right away. By the time we had them, it had been sitting for a while. Still good but better if they were fresh from the start. It was good regardless and this place was great. The staxx, would definitely get again.

There was a cute photo background on the back wall.

Our drinks were ready quickly, and we decided to sit and sip for a few minutes before making our way back home. I loved my drink. I had done that same mix at a Thai restaurant Yelp event where they had set up a drink bar, so I knew it would be good. The balance of a strong Vietnamese coffee and the sweetness of the Thai tea blended perfectly. Next visit I will try their halo halo or avocado shake, both of which have good reviews.
