What Happened to Skyefire Bakery After Project Bakeover? (Airdrie, AB)

Skyefire Bakery, a bakery at 400 Main Street North in Airdrie, Alberta, was the seventh bakery on Project Bakeover (Food Network Canada). Its episode, "You Can't Survive on Bread Alone," aired 2021-06-03. Wikipedia's episode table credits pastry chef Steve Hodge's items for the episode as mini bundt cakes, flapper pie squares and a bread pudding cake. Wikipedia describes the series as one in which Hodge and designer Tiffany Pratt help struggling bakeries remake their menus and decor; no source read for this entry described the bakery's problems in the episode, the decor changes or the relaunch.

DiscoverAirdrie.com (Connor May) reported on 2023-03-15 that SkyeFire Bakery's final day was the Monday of that week, which the article's date places at 2023-03-13. The article ran in a report on two Airdrie businesses closing that month and gave the bakery's address as 400 Main Street N, unit 100. Owner Scott Williams told the outlet that a road closure, the COVID-19 pandemic and other setbacks had hit the business, and he described it as "one thing after the other since day one for us." He said retail sales fell too far too fast and that wholesale could not grow quickly enough to make up the difference.

The bakery's wholesale customers included farmers' markets, specialty and Italian grocery stores, boutique shops, restaurants and breweries, and Flavours of Montreal was one of the larger accounts. Williams also said the local business community had supported the bakery and that he had not yet decided what he would do next. The article did not mention Project Bakeover or Food Network.

A Google Places record retrieved 2026-10-19 lists Skyefire Bakery at 400 Main St N, unit 110, and marks it permanently closed; the record's website field points to the DiscoverAirdrie.com article. The unit number differs from the one in the article, but both records place the bakery in the same Main Street North building.
