Modern and Unique Wedding Cakes
Creating the perfect centrepiece for your special day
An award-winning wedding cake designer based on the Isle of Skye,
on the West Coast of Scotland.
If you are looking for a contemporary wedding cake that is modern
and unique or a cake that is bold and makes a statement, then I'm your girl!
I combine a perfect balance of artistic creativity and delicious flavours into
each of my handcrafted Wedding cakes, ensuring that your cake is as special
as your big day, capturing the essence of you and your partner's personality.
Lets design your cake together, that truly represents your love story.
I can't wait to bring your vision to life!​​​​​
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 wedding cakes, while minimising my environmental impact. I am committed to sourcing ethical produce for all cakes that I create for my couples; I use locally sourced free-range eggs, local or Scottish produce, and vegan or gluten free certified produce for speciality cakes and reduce waste through careful planning and packaging. 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.
I am committed to planting trees through Ecologi, for each wedding couple and I am a member of the Sustainable Wedding Alliance, currently awaiting my sustainability accreditation.

​
​​​My core belief is to "treat others how you would like to be treated." My mum raised me by this, and it shapes every interaction I have with my couples. I believe in inclusivity and celebrate love in all its forms - because love is free from boundaries of race, gender, or orientation. Providing exceptional customer service is at the core of my business, and I am dedicated to making your wedding cake experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Let's create something beautiful together!​​

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!”
"...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."
