I am at the very beginning stages of creating a cupcake/bakery business. I love to make cupcakes, although I've done cakes, pies, cookies and other desserts as well. I have offered myself to my local friends and I've gotten a few takers. But I'm thinking I should have some business cards with my name and number on them in case someone else wants to "hire" me. Anyway, I'm looking for a good business name, that doesn't include my name or limit myself to cupcakes. I want something a little different. I liked "Yummy Deliciousness" but alas it's too long. I also thought about "Delicious Creations" but my graphic designer sister thought it was too ordinary and it could be anything. Does anyone have any ideas???
Take the Cake - it illudes to the portability of the cupcake without being restrictive, and has the name cake in it, which will signal that it's a bakery business. You can have the As in each look like cupcakes. Balanced. Graphically pleasing. Not too long. Easy to remember since it rhymes.
"Decadence" and underneath it
"Cuppies by C."
There's a cupcake shop in Oklahoma called "Cuppy N Joes"
They specialize in cupcakes and coffee. Loved the idea of calling them cuppies.
Sugar Rush
Let Them Eat Cake
Sweetcakes
How about 'Sugar Mama' or 'Sweets by Design' ?
I also liked C.'s Crumbs
I vote for C.'s Crumbs!! Suggested by OneandDone! That way you are not tied down to just cupcakes. Your graphic design sister could do a really cute pic of treats with crumbs all around.
Good luck and GOD BLESS!
D.
C.'s Creations (I love your name. It's uniquely spelled, so memorable if you pair it with another hard C sound)
other ideas that come to mind:
C. for Your Sweet Tooth (caring ....)
Cakes by C.
Swirls and Sprinkles
Sweet Dreams
Your sister is right--names like that could apply to ANYTHING!
You'd actually be better off with something like C.'s Cupcakes (But I know you don't want to limit to just cupcakes).
So then I would move on to single words that don't try "too hard" to describe what you're doing.....like "Bliss" or "Pans" or "Crumbs" or "Tins" or "Cupels"
OR Something descriptive but not overly so...like "Delicacies" or "Savories"
How about something simple like Sweet Treats?
You know what you can do come up with some names yourself and conduct a survey to see which names people prefer. When I was in school and had to come up a with a business name my business partner and myself came up with about 15 names and had everyone vote. We had a clear winner :)
How about C.'s Cakery
or Cupcake Cuties
or Cutiepies and Cupcakes
Let us know what you decide and where your bakery will be!
:) Good luck!

Sweet Treats Bakeshop
how about a nod to Bakerella... Cakerella ?
When I was growing up 25 years ago, there was a little place called "Our Flour, Your Dough" that I thought was pretty cute.
I also have to vote for C.'s Crumbs....or Crumbs by C....or what about just *Crumbs*
How about creative cakes and more.
C. - That is neat that you are starting this business. Congratulations! As you pick a name, you should keep in mind that there are trademark implications in picking a name. Just because you like a name doesn't mean that it is legally available for you to adopt since the same or similar name may be in use by someone else. The standard under trademark law is whether two parties' respective names (marks) are "confusingly similar," and, if they are, the subsequent user is liable for trademark infringement. Lack of intent to infringe is no defense, nor does a party's trademark need to be registered (federal or state) to be protected from infringement. People often make the mistake of doing their own online search of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office records and thinking that if they don't find the exact same mark federally registered, they are safe to proceed with their proposed mark. There is so much more involved than that in doing a proper trademark search and clearance. At the risk of sounding self-serving, the best thing you could do is to consult a trademark lawyer. (I am a trademark lawyer.)

I like Sweets By Design, suggested by Adrianna-Bo-Bana.

Creative Cakery

For me, it would depend upon several things - are you only going to do Cupcakes? Or are you going to do all sorts of desserts? you say bakery - when i think of bakery - i think of breads and rolls too.
Will you end up specializing in one thing?
Will you do wedding cakes as well which no matter the state of the economy weddings happen as well as Christenings...
