Meet Skylar Filippelli | Baker & Dreamer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Skylar Filippelli and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Skylar, what do you want people to remember about you?
You are what you eat, I have noticed through personal experience that humanity is declining from the trash that we eat, a couple years ago I completely changed the way I look at food and eat food and so if I can do something to make a small dent in my community and the world I will take it and while I’m at it make it tasty!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m Skylar, the heart behind Sky’s Delights, where I craft gluten-free, refined sugar-free sweets that bring joy without compromise. What sets me apart is my deep commitment to creating desserts that are as healthy as they are delicious—using wholesome, organic ingredients to nurture both body and soul. I’m most proud of how my treats cater to diverse dietary needs, like vegan and sugar-free options, while still tasting like a warm hug in every bite. I’m also excited to see my community in Miami grow, especially after partnering up with yoga studios and events all across Miami with a passion for wellness.

My journey started when I began baking for myself, needing desserts that fit my own dietary restrictions. It quickly turned into something bigger—first for my family, who couldn’t get enough, and then for my community, who craved clean, guilt-free desserts. I founded Sky’s Delights to share my love for baking, focusing on products like Vegan Matcha Energy Bites, Gluten-Free Banana Bread, and Gluten-Free Guava Cookies, all made with single, high-quality ingredients. Getting here wasn’t always easy. As a small business owner in Sunny Isles, I faced challenges like sourcing affordable organic ingredients and balancing my home kitchen operations with growing demand. There were times I doubted myself, but I leaned into my love for baking and the support of my local community—like the amazing people at Casa D Hot Yoga, Health Pod, and Divine Duality Club for taking a chance on me.

Overcoming those hurdles taught me resilience and the importance of staying true to my mission: improving community health, one dessert at a time. I learned to embrace simplicity, both in my recipes and my approach to business, and to listen to my customers, who’ve guided me in refining my offerings. It’s been a labor of love, and every smile from a satisfied customer makes it worth it.

I want the world to know that Sky’s Delights isn’t just about desserts, it’s about creating moments of joy that don’t come with guilt. Whether it’s a parent looking for a safe treat for their child or someone wanting to indulge without derailing their wellness goals, I’m here to make that possible. My story is one of passion, perseverance, and a deep love for Miami’s vibrant, health-conscious community. I hope to keep growing, collaborating with local wellness advocates, and showing that you can have your cake and feel good about it too!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
For an epic week in Miami with my best friend, I’d craft a wellness-infused itinerary from my Sunny Isles base, reflecting my mission. We’d start in South Beach with 3rd Street Beach Yoga, Breakfast at Pura Vida, and an Art Deco bike tour, ending with cocktails at The Living Room at Faena, Day two explores Little Havana with a Calle Ocho food tour, gluten-free pastelitos at Versailles, and salsa at Ball & Chain. Day three shines with a hot yoga class at Casa D Hot Yoga followed by Miranda Farms for açaí bowls and farmers market adventure. Day four We’d hit Wynwood for murals, and Kaneshuns mindfulness workshop, and gluten-free pasta at Boia De Italian spot, Day five features my bakery’s matcha bites, a Body Sense sound bowl meditation, and kayaking. Day six Coconut Groves Vizcaya Gardens come next, with vegan eats at Mandolin Aegean Bistro. We’d wrap with a Sana Skin facial, and a farewell dinner at Amara at Paraísos. This mix of Miami is one from the heart, getting a small taste of what Miami has to offer.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Id’e like to dedicate my success and efforts to my husband my brother and my aunts who support me all the way, and the beautiful community that just like me want to see the world a better place.
