Wondering why you get three designs to choose from before anything's baked?

Most of the time, when you enquire about a celebration cake, you'll be offered three options to choose between, each at a different budget and level of detail.

All designed to help turn what’s possibly started life as a vague idea into a coherent plan -

One slightly pared back, one more detailed, and one proper showstopper if that's what the occasion calls for.

After that, you'll get a sketch before any baking starts. It's the kind of step usually only offered for wedding cakes, but there's no reason a birthday or anniversary cake should miss out on knowing what you're getting before it's made.

The visual, helps the design process flow - from idea to completed cake … It just means fewer surprises, and a better chance of the finished cake actually matching what was in your head to begin with.

Questions about how the processs works? Ask away.

Credit for cake photos goes to the recipient of this cake (thanks Bev), without whom no evidence would exist, following a minor meltdown with technology and a failed album backup…

From the cake that started it all, sixteen years ago!

I'd helped my mum and grandmother in the kitchen as a kid, but I'd never actually decorated a cake myself until my godson's 2nd birthday.

I put everything into that design, based on his party theme ‘construction’ more care than I probably needed to for a two year old who wouldn't remember it anyway.

People who saw it genuinely couldn't believe it wasn't done professionally. Sixteen years on, people still mention that cake to me.

What inspired me to throw myself into it? It all traces back to my own childhood, really, memories of special cakes my mum made that I still remember clearly despite everything else from those early years fading with time.

Each design that leaves the kitchen now is focused on making someone feel special, creating memories that mean something even without realising it at the time, is still the whole point.

What's a memory that's stuck with you throughout the years?

This cake took my breath away.

A client came to me ahead of his own 80th birthday with a handful of loose ideas, nothing fixed, nothing sketched out, just things that mattered to him most.

A love of walking, his family, memories of time spent fishing. A special fondness for the NHS after care received.

Each and every request was carried forward, telling a story around the cake, from the family tree to the fishing rod and a serpent and sword - each detail deeply personal and one of a kind.

What came back after the party genuinely stuck with me. He wrote “Your interpretation of my loose ideas worked out perfectly, the top, the sides and the base, I couldn't have asked for better.”.

The footpath waymark pointing the right direction, the boots looking just like the ones he actually wears. A family tree including everyone and legible even at a small scale.

That's the bit I love most about this job, bringing meaning to even the vaguest of ideas to create a centrepiece worthy of a special occasion.

You don't need a finished picture in your head to start, a loose idea, told honestly, is genuinely enough to get the design process started.

I want to know what ideas you have for your next celebration cake - tell me your concept, I’ll outline a potential design.

Ever ordered a cake that looked lovely in the photo, then felt a little different once it actually arrived?

It happens, for all sorts of reasons, lighting, angles, materials that just don't translate the same way in person as they do on a screen.

I can't speak for how every cake gets made, only for how mine do, wherever possible, the decorations on a Skye High cake are edible, hand shaped and hand painted to match what we've actually talked through together, rather than something pulled from a box of ready-made toppers.

If it ever matters to you, it's always worth asking what the decorations on any cake are actually made from before you place an order.

From cupcakes to large cakes the process remains the same, creating the details matter to us.

Here's what's actually behind this home baking business!

A life time of experience, packed into every order - Thirty years in the food industry, sixteen years decorating cakes.

Before any of this, I spent twenty five years working in food manufacturing. Running machinery, doing quality checks, keeping proper records, the kind of day to day that teaches you food safety isn't something you bolt on afterwards, it's baked into how you work from the start (sorry, that pun wasn't intended, but I'm leaving it in).

On top of that, I hold an NVQ Level 2 Food Safety Certificate, above what's actually required for home bakers. Aswell as renewing my statutory food safety and Allergen certification in line with industry standards.

I mention it because "homemade" can mean very different things depending on who's making the claim.

For me, it means every process behind the bake has been taken as seriously as the design on top of it.

Got a question about how any of it works in practice? Ask away. I'm happy to talk through it properly rather than just say "trust me."

Ever wondered why we’re called Skye High Cake Designs?

Officially named after Skye, our much missed dog (featured here enjoying her very own birthday cake). Total cake fanatic, self-appointed chief taste tester, and unofficial cake guard dog (she took the job very seriously).

But the name means a bit more than that too. ‘Sky's the limit when it comes to what a design can be’. If you can describe it, however roughly, there's a good chance we can build it for you.

So there you go. Equal parts tribute to a very cake-motivated dog, and a small reminder to myself not to put limits on what a cake can look like.

Reflecting on a year inside the Bake Boss Club ( Baking Bosses)

As a founding member I joined knowing no-one but taking that leap I’ve found my people!!

Yes I joined to learn, but it’s so much more - friendships, collaborations, connections and support when needed

Super proud to be considered a LIFETIME Member of a great community!

It's been a quieter few months on here while life took priority. Rest assured, the hard work has continued behind the scenes and I'm back in the kitchen and excited to start sharing again.

The first cake I ever decorated started with barely an idea at all. It was for my godson's 2nd birthday and I knew the party theme was 'construction', like other two year old boys he was obsessed with diggers!

Growing up, I'd loved helping my mum and grandmother in the kitchen, but I'd never actually decorated a cake before. I just knew I wanted to share a bit of the same magic I remember from my own birthdays as a child, receiving those special kind of cakes that were made just for you.

This was nearly sixteen years ago, and people who attended his party still bring it up now. I didn't set out to start a business that day. I just wanted my godson to feel special. But it's the reason Skye High Cake Designs exists. Every cake I make now is designed to give someone else that very same feeling.

Got an occasion coming up and want a cake that feels like it was actually made for the person it's for, complete Enquiry form (link in Bio). You don't need to know exactly what you want yet, that's what I'm here for.

Baking Bosses - Live Experience in
Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Monday saw a whistle stop visit up to Edinburgh, (yes it’s taken me this long to recover from the epic marathon to share any details).

A room full of like minded bakers from all round the country, united with the goal of collaboration and sharing knowledge along with a few bakes.

🎉 Speed networking
🎉 Business Foundations
🎉 Content creation
🎉 Visibility
🎉 Brand Photography

Proof in itself that when one shines we all do!

New business opportunities were discussed and everyone left with a notebook of ideas and potential to be getting on with - if only working on business was always this inspiring.

Of course the day wouldn’t have been complete without a cheeky tipple to round out the day as we headed to the Alchemist

Huge thanks to the Baking Bosses
for putting on another great day - looking forward to the next one (a bit closer to home would be good).
