Stumped On Naming My Home Cake Business

Posted by Anonymous on 8/5/2011 at 6:21 PM ET 250 Points
Please help me name my home based cake business.

Some info...

I make delicious cakes, not just the typical vanilla and chocolate. For example: Orange creme, French Vanilla Coffee, Cherry, etc.

I don't want a cheesy name. Thanks!

    Well, it''s not as if I don''t love homemade cakes or something....I hope I live in your area for sure! I was thinking about a few of the following:

    ~ Specialty Convections
    ~ Cake Boutique
    ~Cakes of Delight
    ~Delightful Desserts
    ~Joyfully Yours

    Hope this helps ~ Blessings~ Patti

    Who is your target audience? Where do they live? When/why do they buy cakes? How do they decide where to buy them? What's important to them?

    Tell us about the target audience, and what makes them tick. That will help us come up with a good name for the business.

    We're in FL. I plan to do party, birthday, and eventually wedding cakes. We also plan to do other sweets such as candies and pastries.
    Since it's a home business, not a store - we'd bake/create to order.

    While I'm ok with my screen name, I don't care for it enough to name my business after it. :)

    If it helps, a friend/taste tester said her husband was practically licking the plate it was so good.

    And I'm going for a modern/chic style.

    Randall from MONMARK is right: your answer is on this page, in one of your responses. Here's the thing—the style you're going for? Modern and chic? How many other home bake businesses in FL are you competing against? AND, what are people buying in terms of products?

    The point is that lots of people get all bent out of shape on selecting a name when what they really need to be focusing on is offering a name that people could be looking for. When people do business with you, the thing that ought to linger with them is the taste of your products.

    There's nothing wrong with the name ORANGE DAISY. It's short, it's memorable, it's different, it ties in with a Floridian product, and you could have a lot of fun with it, more so if you add a line along the lines of "The best dang cakes you'll ever taste!"

    You also mentioned "bake/create" Might there be mileage in that? BAKED CREATIONS, or something along those lines?

    The Cakes Tree.
    The Cake garden. (You don't probably have a garden but...)
    Cake parade.

    I was also thinking at "rainbow" as a variety of colors (tastes). White is cream, green is pistachio, red is cherry atc. I don't get a good idea at the moment. Maybe "Cakes Palettes" ?
    Not sure how many people know the meaning of "palettes".

    Throwing around words for you...
    Iced Cake?
    Chic Cake? tho I think this reminds me of 'sheet cake' & I don't want to focus on those.
    Cake Chic?
    IndulgenCake? this looks funny to me

    So far nothing's clicking...

    If you are going along the lines of modern and chic how about consider something that could also tie into the fashion world. Just a thought...
    Cake Couture'
