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!

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?

So while sitting in the car waiting for my wife and toddler to use the bathroom, I googled this place, not thinking much of it. Then, I find out that Rocklin Donuts and Cinnamon have made it onto some of the best donut lists in the whole country! 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!

Visiting Rocking Roseville from San Jose for volleyball at the grounds. I always peep yelp in a new…read morearea to find the best eats and saw this one. First and most important star: Pushkin's is predominantly vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free -- and bakeries that truly excel in all three are one in a million. For anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions, this place feels like winning the lottery. You can actually relax and enjoy treats without feeling like you're settling or taking a risk. Second star: the employees are incredibly friendly and genuinely passionate. One guy (nose ring, long blonde hair -- didn't catch his name) was amazing. He knew the pastries inside and out and patiently walked my wife through allergy questions about dairy-free options, putting her totally at ease. And trust me, my wife can ask a thousand questions (till u wanna choke her).. Another employee -- a short, curly-haired, very light-skinned/mixed Black woman -- was just as gracious when we asked about cashews for our daughter. Both of them were beyond kind and knowledgeable. Third star: great coffee. I only had an Americano, but it was really good -- smooth, rich, and exactly what you want with pastries like these. Fourth star: the place is clean, organized, and clearly well-run. It was busy, but the team handled the crowd efficiently without feeling rushed or chaotic. Fifth star (the fun one): the pastries are ridiculously good. We tried a bunch: * chocolate mud cookie -- perfect crunch on the outside, chewy inside * cinnamon-roll-style pound cake -- super moist and flavorful * cinnamon roll scone * almond cake with raspberry ...and several others I didn't catch the names of. Everything was delicious. You'd never guess these are vegan/gluten-free/dairy-free -- they're just straight-up amazing pastries. Bottom line: Pushkin's is a gem. If you have dietary restrictions, it's a must-visit. If you don't, are you sure you don't? Maybe you should? it's still a must-visit. We'll absolutely be back when in town to check out the cafe and real food items !

We ordered several items and so far the flavors just weren't as good as before, which was a little disappointing. Keep in mind I only bought pastries. I won't be back for those. That said, the staff was very nice and friendly, and the service was good. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I remember really enjoying it in the past.

The baristia that helped me was overall nice but the coffee itself lack many things and I was very disappointed. I ordered the Shaken Espresso and asked for sugarfree vanilla with regular milk. They only have 1 size so you don't have much options to choose from. After trying it, I felt like I was just drinking a whole cup of milk, it didn't have ANY espresso/coffee taste in it at all. Note they only have 1 size so its like a large size coffee cup. I brought the coffee back and had asked them to remake it and the barista informed me that it only comes with 1 shot of espresso per drink thus thats why it taste so milky. 1 shot? What? I was so shocked, in such a big cup I would expect at least two shots since the total of it was over $7. Anyways I asked them to remake it with less milk and 5-6 minutes later, it honestly ended up just being worse than earlier... Now it just taste very watery, like a diluted espresso and I can't even drink it. She was nice and helpful but I was disappointed I couldn't enjoy the coffee like I wanted to. So I just tossed the whole cup away, what a waste.
