Where nature meets elegance in every design

Award-winning wedding cake design on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
The dramatic landscapes, vibrant colours and natural beauty of this magical island inspire my artistry. I create award-winning wedding cakes that reflect your unique love story, incorporating elements of Skye's charm, from the rugged coastline to the delicate wild flowers. I sketch designs inspired by the island's textures an colours, then bring them to life with locally sourced ingredients and handcrafted sugar art.
Lets chat about how we can infuse your wedding cake with the spirit of
the Isle of Skye.
TWIA Regional Winner 2025
I am speechless to say that I WON!!!!
I am truly honoured to have received this award. It’s incredibly humbling to have my couples support me and to be recognised by a panel of esteemed industry experts. Winning this prestigious award in its inaugural year in Scotland, and in my hometown of Glasgow, makes it all the more meaningful, and I am beaming from ear to ear. I am really looking forward to the national finals in London this January, and I’m hoping to bring home a double victory!”
Crafted with love and inspired by
the breath-taking Isle of Skye
Inspired by the stunning landscapes around me, I love to incorporate
elements of nature and your unique love story into each design,
making sure your cake truly reflects who you are as a couple.
Whether you’re planning a grand wedding or a sweet elopement, I believe
every cake can be a showstopper! I use techniques like hand-painted details,
delicate wafer paper flowers, and textured fondant to create cakes
that capture the spirit of your special day.
Let’s bring your cake dreams to life!

Hi
I am Laura Rankin the creative face behind Creatures of Habit Cakery. I am an award winning Wedding and Celebration cake maker based on the beautiful Isle of Skye in Scotland, covering not only Skye but the Scottish Highlands and Islands, and as far as your heart desires my cakes.
I am a mum of two little boys and I solely run my business around raising them. When you choose Creatures of Habit Cakery, you'll be working directly with me every step of the way. From designing and baking your cake, to personally delivering and setting it up at your venue, I handle every aspect of our cake journey together. I'm the one responding to your emails, taking your calls, managing all marketing, and engaging on social media. You can say that I am a wonder woman.
Ethos
As a sustainable wedding cake designer my ethos is centred
around creating beautiful cakes while minimising my environmental footprint. I believe that fresh, high-quality ingredients are key, which is why I use free-range eggs sourced from a croft, just along the road from my kitchen, and incorporate other local and Scottish produce whenever possible. For couples with dietary needs, I offer cakes made with certified vegan or gluten-free ingredients, ensuring everyone can enjoy a special treat. Embracing an eco-conscious approach, I have adopted measures to ensure that I use environmentally friendly products where I can, supporting UK based suppliers and small businesses.
Additionally, I plant trees through Ecologi, for each wedding couple, and to date, I have planted 202 trees in my Roots of Love Forest. I’m also proud to be a member of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance.
At the heart of everything I do is my commitment to treating others with the same kindness and respect I value, a principle instilled in me by my mum. This guides every interaction, ensuring inclusivity and a celebration of all love stories. Providing exceptional customer service is important to me, and I strive to make the wedding cake experience truly enjoyable and stress-free.
Let's create something beautiful together!
If you have a wedding or special celebration coming up, get in touch and we can start chatting about your dream cake and bringing it to life.

"...I don't wish to regret any part of my wedding day but I honestly wish we'd kidnapped the baker and forced more of this incredible cake out of her. Sadly my life will forever be divided between pre-cake and post-cake times. And whilst post cake is all the better for having experienced it, there is a small part of my heart that will always pine for the innocence of pre-cake days where any old baked goods would do."
