Call me biased, but my wedding cake from The Home Bakery was the most delicious wedding cake I have ever tasted! After trying multiple other cake shops in the area, we decided to give The Home Bakery a try and I am so glad we did! Our tasting was fantastic, and the staff were kind, helpful, and patient throughout the process. They were also kind enough to meet and spend additional time with us another day to go over design planning and be sure that we were getting exactly what we wanted. After postponing our wedding due to COVID, the bakery was understanding, patient, and flexible when it came to rescheduling our date. Despite my multiple confirmation emails, The Home Bakery remained responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to work with! And on the day of our wedding they truly delivered - the cake was gorgeous, delicious, and just perfect! Thank you!!
I wanna start by saying thank you for making my sons first smash cake. The cake definitely served its purpose. He was very excited to smash his first cake. Flavor wise though I would rate this at one ⭐. The flavor one had one note which was sugar. While the cake was for a 1yr old I was really hoping for his first taste of cake to be more flavorful. Definitely over priced from what we a similar cake we ordered from another shop.
The cake that my Husband and I ordered for our Wedding was beautiful and just what we asked for. The cake was delicious and we were given multiple complements on it from all of our friends and family.
Okay..the cake ended up delicious.BUT...I was supposed to pick up on a Saturday. Bad phone connection and I wrote down the wrong time. Showed up, no one was there (cause they were closed) and wasnt able to get my cake for the birthday dinner.I was told that I shouldve received a phone call an hour before pick up, which I DID NOT. I received an apology and that was it. Because my cc was pre-charged I still picked up the cake on Monday when they were open again, but I was VERY disappointed that I didnt even receive a follow up call from management. I called the day of pick up and left a message both on the regular line and on the emergency line. Not sure what a cake emergency looks like, but apparently what I experienced was not.
We had a cake from The Home Bakery for my daughters graduation party. Not only beautiful, it was the most delicious cake weve ever eaten! Awesome customer service as well, highly recommend!
I use to love this place, however I feel that theyre not passionate about making beautiful designs or quality of their cakes
I bring kronuts and donuts into work from this place and it has always been top notch. Their cinnamon and glazed donuts are the best!
I was looking for a bakery for my sister in law bridal shower and The Home was recommended to me. When we walked up to the bakery we saw tons of people walking around eating baked goods and I said this is a good sign. Walking in the staff was beyond helpful making what I had in mind come true and it was delious. Thank you we received tons of compliments. I will be coming back and my family as well.
The Home Bakery made my wedding cake for my July 25th wedding. It was SO perfect. It’s hard to find a cake that both tastes great and looks amazing. They were able to do both! We had to change our location because of COVID-19 and they quickly changed our location with no problems! The cake was delivered on time. Everything was perfect
They did my wedding cake. The flavor of the tiers were in the wrong order and one of my toppers kept falling over but it was DELICIOUS and everyone loved it. Minor inconveniences but overall I was very satisfied with my cake and the amazing customer service their wedding coordinator provided during the covid rescheduling.
They got the cake order wrong, the cake was dry and the icing was not good at all. No one ate it at the party. The only positive was that it looked pretty overall, but it definitely looked like a rushed, sloppy job. When I went back to let them know they got the order wrong, they just refunded the $6 up charge for buttercream frosting that they didn’t do and that was it. A complete waste of money for mediocre tasting cake. Will not be returning and definitely do not recommend.
My husband and I had planned to work with The Home Bakery for our wedding. Due to covid, unfortunately we had to cancel our wedding, however I want to speak to the experience we did have initially booking with The Home Bakery.We wanted to have a wedding pie instead of a wedding cake for our wedding. Working with The Home Bakery was so easy and truly took any stress out of our big day. They helped us plan for making our wedding pie dreams come true! We were able to do a pie and cake tasting (before covid) and really enjoyed the sheer fun and excitement of that moment together. I would highly recommend The Home Bakery to anyone in search of sweets for their big day. They are so flexible, compassionate, and easy to work with. I couldnt recommend them more!
We ordered a cake and several other items for a 1st birthday party. We had to move the party back 2 weeks due to a COVID outbreak. I called a week before the party and asked to change the date. The manager was extremely rude and refused to change the date and work with us. I even offered to pay a fee for the trouble. Worst customer service ever! Also, why would they bake this expensive cake so far in advance??? For the price they charge their products should be fresh!! Go to the several other bakerys in the area!
Ordered a birthday cake from this bakery and it was perfect! Everyone in my family commented on how delicious and pretty it was. Thank you!
This place is a scam. They took my money and Never returned my calls. Rochester Hills and surrounding areas please support another bakery.
Their window display is not appealing. Old, worn out, discolored display cakes doesnt make you want to go in the bakery. They need a marketing/advertising expert to redo their window display. When you do enter, the staff isnt the friendliness. Cookies over priced.
I love just walking into the Home Bakery to grab a cookie or a special treat. You have to try their kronut, they are the best. They also have the most amazing window displays. You will never be disappointed at The Home Bakery.
AhhhMazing, theres no shortage of places to get sweet treats but this one is just different. The selection is overwhelming in a good way because I literally just want to buy and eat everything. The store is clean and well organized but the biggest thing for me is the people, everybody that works there is smiling and laughing and enjoying themselves and that to me means that its a great place to work and that love shows in their products.
Ive been here three times now: twice for Paczkis on Fat Tuesday, and once during the Kris Kringle Market in December when I got an adorable snowman donut.The paczkis come second only to my Polish grandmas homemade ones -- but since I cant get those anymore, these are my new favorite. Im not sure of the name of the one I get, but they describe it as a cronut paczki with their vanilla bean pastry cream -- and its seriously incredible. Ive also had the chocolate-covered custard filled, and the lime raspberry. The lime raspberry is sweet and tart, a perfect companion to the rich chocolate chocolate-covered.The snowman donut was as delicious as it was cute. It was a cake donut with white chocolate ganache, and I would purchase again with or without the chocolate chip eyes and fondant carrot nose.
18 months later, my friends and family still make fun of how bad my wedding cake turned out from here. Many said It looked like a 5 year old made it. Save yourself the heartache and go anywhere else! Also, not taking credit cards over the phone for the multiple payments needed on cakes is really inconvenient for busy brides.
Absolutely LOVED my daughters Wedding cake!! (Highly recommend the lemon cake with raspberry mousse!) The edible flowers were just beautiful! I received so many compliments not only on how beautiful the cake looked, but also that it tasted fresh and moist! I couldnt of asked for a better experience.Oh and I might add, not only was Heather and her staff at Home Bakery easy to work with, I had a minor change just a few days before the event, (my mistake...planning a wedding is a crazy time) they were able to accommodate my request.
I have been going here for years. As soon as you walk in the door the smell just takes over. Friendly staff with an amazing selection of baked goods. A must try!
Small 2-tiered wedding cake was absolutely perfect. It was gorgeous and family and friends enjoyed! So good. The Home Bakery bakers were super helpful with design and decorations were perfect.
Beautiful job on another cake.Top notch!
Amazing paczkis on Fat Tuesday. I need to visit again.
Heather and her team made our wedding day so special, the cake was everything we asked for and more!! Not only did it look beautiful, but it tasted amazing. There was a flavor for everyone, and at no additional charge. We had a raspberry/vanilla layer, chocolate/cassata layer, classic vanilla buttercream and a chocolate mouse layer. They delivered the cake and made sure the cake topper was perfect!! I absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a cake that tastes just as good as it looks!!!
Horrible customer service. Cakes made far in advance not fresh. What you get does not look as good as the examples they show.
Excellent in every way!I would like to thank Home Bakery for being one of the best bakeries I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I am from N.Y. and called the home bakery to help deliver a bereavement platter to a dear friend in Michigan. I called and explained that I have never been to the bakery, and wanted to send something to a friend to cheer her up. A lovely young women named Mary helped me. She was one of the nicest people I have ever spoken to in my life. She was so sweet so kind so genuine. Home Bakery didn’t have to help me with such a task, but from the start they assured me they would do their best to help. Mary helped me work out a lovely mixture and did everything to help me. She said “she wanted to make it easy on me”, and she did. She helped me every step of the way. She was so nice I wanted to move to Michigan after working with her. Home bakery put together the most delightful platter. My friend received the package in the exact time they said they would in perfect condition. My friend said “the bear claw was the best she ever had in her life”. The treats got rave reviews. This was beyond 5 star service. This bakery truly showed me that a company can be thoughtful, carling and truly genuine. Also not to mention delish. I am so thankful that I called Home Bakery. I wish I lived in Michigan I would be there #1 customer. My friends and I will always be thankful for them, in time of need, they came though BIG time. They are an excellent bakery and I cannot recommend more highly. I hve been to a lot of bakeries all over the world, but they are by far the best! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Our wedding cake was PERFECT! Heather gave us everything we asked for to a T! So many of our guests came to us raving about how moist the cake was and how beautiful it was! Will absolutely use this bakery again and again! Heather was a pleasure to work with. It’s evident she takes pride in her work and making sure her customers are extremely satisfied!
We ordered a birthday cake for the first time. Been wanting to try them, heard and seen so many good things about it. The actual cake was very moist and tasty, I just wish they would use actual butter not crisco on the frosting. It completely ruined the whole experience.
OMGGGG. The cake was literally my favorite part of my wedding, next to marrying the man of my dreams, of course. LOLIt came out perfect! On their website it said the cake only fed about 12 people (i think), so we called & asked if they could make it big enough to serve 25, they said absolutely!I chose the flavor chocolate & it was so delicious.It was ready on time & absolutely flawless looking. They even added some edible glitter on top! I will definitely be coming back here for future events that require a cake.Thank you so much Home Bakery for helping make my special day even more amazing.
Fantastic service and always a smile to greet you. The designs we have seen come out of this bakery have been truly amazing. There are artists working here, not just bakers. Every cake we have ordered in the last two years has exceeded our expectations in design and taste. Keep up the good work guys!! Those Almond croissants are ridiculously delicious, never stop making those please.
Got my Michigan graduation cake from here and it was fantastic. Also, the Kronut + chocolate chip cookies are delicious.
We recently ordered a birthday cake for our Mimmies 93rd birthday party, from The Home Bakery, and (once again!) they did an amazing job. Their service was stellar, and the cake was as delicious as it was beautiful. If you are looking for a unique wedding cake, birthday cake, or just some yummy treats for Sunday brunch --- you MUST give this place a try. Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous!
This place is AMAZING super delicious and good quality cakes, the staff is so accommodating and friendly I was beyond thrilled with the cake I ordered the birthday actually cried she loved it so much! Thank you so much!
I ordered a 3 tiered cake and a sheet cake for extra servings for my wedding cake this past weekend. (August 10) We decided to pick up the cake since the wedding was held at the Royal Park Hotel. The cake looked beautiful and tasted great! Although after my wedding was over I received a phone call from the bakery telling me they still had my sheet cake! I should of informed my sister (who picked up the cake) that there would also be a sheet cake but this information should of been clear on the order sheet. I told them I could pick it up but then was told that they close in 20 min! This was very disappointing. Makes me wonder if we would of got the sheet cake if it was delivered but that should not make a difference. They took the cake to the Chop House and we picked it up later which was helpful. Everyone loved the cake but we could of had bigger serving if this detail was not overlooked. I will still recommend this bakery just make sure you receive your whole order!I loved how the cake turned out! It was exactly how I imagined it would look! Beautiful!
I have ordered my wedding cake as well as two birthday cakes for my close friends 30th birthdays. Every single experience with them has been above and beyond amazing. They are so talented and most importantly, the cake is AMAZING. Perfect amount of sweetness. This is the only place I will go when ordering a custom cake for a special occasion. Thank you to Heather and her awesome team!
We worked with Heather to design our wedding cake and she was absolutely amazing. She was very patient in understanding our designs and explained to us all the different options we had for flavors. The cake itself was delicious - very moist and flavorful! It was absolutely beautiful and turned out exactly how we discussed. We also rented a cake stand from them, which gave the display a little something extra. It was all beautiful!I also ordered a groom’s cake from them as a surprise for my now husband and we had it at the rehearsal dinner. Since I was from out of town, I couldn’t secretly meet with Heather so I called her and sent her photos to explain my design. It turned out better than I imagined! My only issue was when I picked it up, some of the fondant design on the sides of the cake came off and was attached to the box. We were able to easily put it back on and I take full responsibility for that since I didn’t want to pay to have them deliver it. So I recommend getting delivery because our wedding cake didn’t have any smudges and it was delivered.
Living Colorado have not been here in years but my father always took me here I stopped yesterday and still as awesome as I remember. Best part is I was able to introduce my son to this fine bakery.
My wedding cake was from here and it was absolutely beautiful and taste amazing. It looked better than the picture I brought as a reference. The creativity and artistry blew me away. It not only looked great but taste amazing as well. It is worth every penny!
I recently went to a bridal shower and they had a cake decorated exactly like the shower invitation. It was not only beautiful but was one of the best cakes I have ever eaten. They told me it was from The Home Bakery.It was then I decided to do the same for my daughters bridal shower. They went above and beyond to make that cake just as we wanted. Heather was great to work with, very professional and customer service oriented.The cake was a big hit - beautiful and tasted great!I would give The Home Bakery ten stars if I could!SincerelyJudi
Worked with the girl with green hair the other day- sweetest girl ever. She helped make planning out a cake the easiest stuff ever. She made my life so much easier. Oh my goodness. From now on Ill only talk to her!!! Girl with green hair- thank you!!!!
Worst experience ever! We try a good looking birthday cake from The Home Bakery, after the first slice, we decide throw it right into garbage can, the tasting is horrible, you can only tasting sugar, nothing else, and it’s not fresh at all, all the icing hard like ROCK, and when you cut it, it will fall apart, the inside of the cake tasting like a wet sponge. I make cake at home, and I know what fresh cake taste like, this is NOT ACCEPTABLE at all. I will not recommend this store to anyone else. If you really want a cake just buy from Whole Foods or papa joes.
Very happy with the cakes that I had ordered for a retirement party at work. They looked great and tasted great also. Been in numerous times, the employees have always been friendly and helpful.
Great place for cronuts and surprising confections. Ive actually been in the back; they work really hard and have a whole team making stuff constantly. Its a bakery they way one is meant to look. Check them out around Christmas for the big Frozen display.
Cakes are nicely decorated and look good, however buttercream frosting does not taste good and very thick. Too thick relative to cake. The texture is grainy and leaves an oil residue on lips and tongue. They need a lot of lead time to prepare and attitudes of employees are a little arrogant. Whole Foods, Kroger and Costco taste a lot better, while still nicely decorated and festive. The prices at Home Bakery are inflated relative to other options.
Come here for fresh, made from scratch,pastries and baked goods. If you desire a Cake Boss type cake for ANY special occasion, they are sure to impress you and your guests. Seriously, set up a tasting with them for your next cake and be sure to grab a Kronut!!! They are to die for!!
Very disappointed. Home Bakery made my wedding cake 20 years ago and for our Anniversary, I thought it would be a nice surprise to recreate the top layer. I went to the bakery with a picture of the cake and was talked into ordering a 6 square cake and was assured this would serve 10-12 people. I realize the waiver that I signed stated that once you ordered you could not change anything, but I became nervous after inviting a few people to celebrate with us and called to see if they could possibly increase the size of the cake. When I called to do so, I was told that the cost would be almost double to add a step to the bottom of the cake and that the cake that I ordered would serve only 6-8 people. I inquired as to why I was told it would serve 10-12 when I was at the bakery and the person who took my call said it was all based on size and asked if they had shown me how to judge portions when I was there. I was not shown anything, I am even more nervous now that I ordered the wrong size cake and I feel very deceived.
This is absolutely the best bakery in metro Detroit! They have the best buttercream frosting of any bakery around. They offer so many excellent flavors and choices! We are excited to get it wedding cake here!!
Just had their cronut and it was literally mind blowing good! I want to go back tomorrow for another! Good job I don’t live too close by that way the traffic curbs my temptation
Home Bakery always does cake right. Ive had some fabulous yellow cakes with buttercream frosting for past birthdays. This year we got my brother his favorite for his birthday: key lime pie. Im not a key lime pie person, but the one they made was so awesome I would absolutely have it again. They perfectly balanced the tart and sweet flavors. Way to go HB! I still cant forget the Mario Mushroom/Nintendo cakes I saw in their window a few years ago. Made me smile.
I got turned away after trying to order a gluten free for my birthday a week in advance. I’ve been going here for years but after this terrible service, I will not go back.They are NOT allergy friendly.
If you combine art and baking, you get the Home Bakery! They almost always have amazing edible displays in their front and side windows. This place has had samples the last few times I was there. Their donut(s) rival Knapps Donuts, and I love Knapps!
This is my go to bakery for all of my cakes! Ive ordered at least 5 cakes from them and all have turned out amazing and were delicious. They have always been super helpful with the cake designs and they dont need months in advance for an order.
Someone in my family ordered a birthday cake with chocolate batter and called more than 48 hours in advance of the pick up time to request white batter instead. The bakery refused which suggests to me that they had already made and decorated the cake. I would have never guessed that they would sell a made to order cake that was over two days old. Disappointed.
Best kronut ever! Service was awesome and the donut were great too. They had beautiful cakes. My only complaint was the cannoli. The shell was super soggy. Maybe if they filled them when ordered it would have been a better one.
James is the guru of friendly and helpful customer service. He should be instructing others on the subject. Always pleasant experience when we visit.
Cakes are great and everything but what happened to the home bakery with warm donuts at the end of my paperoute? Things change but not always for the better. I search everywhere I have lived to find donuts as good as they were in the 70s and 80s. Has gone the way of many things in Rochester.....too bad!!
Ordered a cake for my Daughters first birthday, it was nothing like the picture we showed them. The smash cake was different from the main cake, we had to through it away. We paid too much ($105) for what we ended up getting. I called to explain my displeasure and I was told someone would call me, its been a week no call. I guess no one cares. Its safe to say I wont be going back to The home Bakery again.
They did my Wedding cake last June it looks awesome affordable price 😃
I called from Indiana up to Rochester Hills Michigan where my daughter lives and her twin sister was coming into town so I called and ordered a cake as a surprise for them the day before Valentines Day, for their 35th birthday. I was treated perfectly over the phone and was taking care of and they went above my expectations! Beautiful cake and was delicious and wonderful surprise, thank you home bakery!
When I am in Rochester a stop at the Home Bakery is manditory! Their creative, delicious confections are truly unique....a great treat for yourself, friend, or customer!
Their Kronuts are delicious! Its my favorite! They always make really cool displays.
We have orders two cakes from here, the second one being a special order (lemon and blueberry yum!). Both cakes were very delicious and beautifully decorated. The staff was friendly and accommodating in both cases. Will definitely return for our bakery needs, highly recommend!!
When we ordered the cake they were very nice and helpful. Cake was pretty looked just like we wanted, tasted AVERAGE but not bad. A little expensive for what we got but I would order from here again.
Our family has been ordering cakes from them for many occasions and the cakes always look perfect! (You just have to be very specific, I always show them a reference picture.) Customer service is fine. I bought my friends some cronuts a while back and now theyre hooked! You gotta try them :)
I thought the cakes they made were nice but I havent been inside.
Great bakery with some tasty items and some super friendly staff!
My wedding cake was a disaster..Made their own decisions,photo looked nothing like the cake they brought me!! Almost 500$ wastedOh, and Beware of the rock candy ..someone could lose a tooth. Make sure you ask them if they are using it..I was really bummed, they looked like they could replicate anything and make it into a cake..i guess tree bark was too hard. So they just swirled some dark brown frosting and fondont instead. Didnt match my wedding theme. And my stick figure bride and groom looked weird next to it. No engraved initial in the tree bark or anything.Im So disappointed. I cant even look back at my wedding cake and be happy about it. I cant get that moment back. Plz consider other places before this place. Cake wasnt even that special. I got a refund apparently coming to me for 166$ because they messed up the outside fondont... Which was basically my cake... 😫 i dont like making bad reviews to companys.. Its a shame..
Style and originality are the hallmark of this uniquely Rochester location. The Home Bakery has been in this historic location since 1930.
Our family has been ordering cakes from Home Bakery for decades and for the most part have been completely satisfied, however the cake that we just ate was horrible! The cake was so dry, that we each took 1 bite and quite literally threw not only our individual pieces away, but threw the rest of the cake away as well. So much for a birthday celebration. Very disappointing to say the least
Home bakery was great! The cake turned out just as we wanted down to the smallest detail and the cake tasted amazing! The cake got so many compliments at the party!
I recently ordered two cakes - for an 18th birthday and for a high school graduation - both orders were disappointing. I gave feedback directly to Heather. She asked for a picture, which I provided. After not receiving any response, I called back and left a message. I still have not received a return phone call. The recent change in management has affected the quality of the product and customer service.
My cakes always come out beautiful and delicious 😍 staff is always professional and helpful I love them
They have these cronut things, which is basically a croissant and a donut put together, that are amazing. I dont know whats kind of magic is inside them and I dont care but its delicious. Some would say, its what dreams are made of.
Really disappointed with the customer service I received. Every time Ive placed a special order for my cakes its a pleasant exciting experience but man was this girl RUDE today. Not only rude to me but to someone else as well. Girl with the green hair here is some free advise-fake your mood no matter what, youre dealing with paying customers and if your having a bad day then dont help customers. We all have things going on-no excuses!!! I deal with two babies all day I dont want to deal with babies when I do business! So many other bakeries out there and Im nit giving my money to people who dont realize it or appreciate it, too bad!!!
Over priced! The fondant is grose to eat. Looks great on a cake to just show the cake off.Paid alot of $$ for a cake that i was excited for when i placed the order in. And when i went to pick the cake up i wasnt thrilled. I requested and asked if they would add pearls on the cake and they said yes. And they didnt do it. Bummer!! Not happy with the end result. (At least the bride was)
Unprofessional cake decoratorYou will get a better cake and decoration from Costco for one percent of what the price.Lady in front desk she was only worried about the extra 20 dollar they had over charged.Not worthy
Excellent bakery. Never been disappointed by anything I have purchased.
Best donuts around (you have to try the kronut) and the most beautiful and delicious cakes! Very friendly staff too 😁
Great bakery! Make awesome custom cakes.A little on the expensive side.
AMAZING!!!! Home Bakery made the most incredible wedding cake. It was the most elegant looking cake and everything was perfectly done. It was more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined. We received more compliments than we ever imgained on how it was the best wedding cake our guests have ever had. 2 couples ordered their wedding cake from there because it was simply to die for. The prices are reasonable and the service was great. You will not go wrong with Home Bakery. After meeting with them and tasting the samples I never shopped for another bakery. I since them have ordered every cake I have ever needed from them and I now live in Farmington Hills, very much worth the drive :-)
Love it. Good people. Great service
Youd think they never did packzis before. Orderd 5 dozen - the boxes arent labeled and i have no idea which packzi is which D:
Cake is not worth the money they charge, taste-wise... The cake decorators are wonderful!
Love their cakes, and their doughnuts, havent had a bad thing from there! They are a family favorite, I highly recommend this bakery!
Excellent service and food. try to stop there and get something every time I pass through
Tried to go in for preliminary questions for my wedding and they were very rude, had no place to sit. would not answer any questions.gave them a second chance and called a couple months later for an appointment and were once again very rude on the phone. the told me they would only talk to me 6 months before my wedding. I tried to get an appointment and told them my days off and WERE NOT FLEXIBLE AT ALL to help me figure my budget out and what to expect to get. this put such a awful taste in my mouth about the wedding industry. I dont care how good there cakes are..I will never go there for anything.
Best Birthday Cake in the area. Fresh moist cakes, Great designers and service.
Delicious baked goods..Awesome Cakes
