I am a beekeeper and I heard the name on the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" and stole it!!
I love the story behind Montibellesbakery. I think that is very appropriate. My name is part of what my business will be called. The full name is Havenleigh's Goodies, but I guess that was too long. I used just the first part. My other choice was my nickname, but I wasn't allowed to use that. My nickname is Nestle (like the chocolate).
How cool everyone's stories are....Adven comes from my DH's business (Adventure Properties) and 68....well.....I can't get into that on such a respectable site....(It was not my idea)...
anyway....
The Painted Eye (I think I mentioned this recently)....comes from
1. I am a painter...
2. My name begins with an "I" and I had an uncle who always used to call me his "eye". He would say "Hi, Eye" everytime he saw me and it stuck....
I love doing birthday cakes, and i just thought Smashcakes would be a cute name. Since smashcake is typically a kid's first cake, and if something's a Smash, it means it was good. also, i think smashcakes would be a cute name for a bakery
the same as my email I moonlight a photographer so thats the email thats on my business cards.... so just used it for lack of a better name.........
Mine is simple. I am a navywife the numbers mean : 06 Month I was married, 09 Day I was married, 01 year I got married.LoL
"Tamanna" means wish/desire. It was the name i choose for my daughter, but in the end my son won the vote so she is Erika Esha ("Esha" also means desire). Now I always say "I wish I could make a cake for so and so", or "I wish I could make a cake like that". That's how it has always been, every cake i have made has been a wish/desire so i came up with Tamanna
My screenname is simple and boring. My first name is Renee and last name is Vallee. rvallee is my screename at work so I just used that for lack of anything better (I was too excited about being able to see the pictures of everyone's cakes and I couldn't think straight!). My avitar is a picture of my son Sebastien. It's over a year old, but I just love the smile on his face and how his blue eyes shine.
This has been quite interesting...love reading everyones stories. My mom use to call and she'd say What are you doing? and it was the same thing every time she called, I'd say, just cake'n, and so I just liked the sound of that and put the words together. Now when I call her and ask whats shes doing, She says, Just cak'n, (she bakes cakes too)
When we were looking for email accounts, every neame was taken. So we used Henyd because my husband was in charge of the helium (He) project at work and the pharmaceutical company that he worked at's ticker on the NYSE was NYD. I thought I'd be cute and just be SHenyd cause he was Henyd.
My Avatar is a baby cause I am up to my elbows in diapers. 
I have an 18 month old and a 3 month old.
I used to have a dog called Sparky, Looking for a username for the dating site I met my now husband on, I wiggled it a bit to call myself Sparkle, when I was planning my wedding, I called myself Sparklybride on a weddings forum and now that I joined a cake forum Sparklecake was the obvivious choice.
I just loved reading everyone's reason's for their name and I think it's a cool way to get to know each other.
Mine, well when I was about 12 years old my aunt had a daughter and she couldn't say Sylvie, most people called me "Syl" but my favorite little cousin couldn't so she called me "Vie" all the time. From there on all the little cousins and now aunts call me "Vie". But as I grew up I didn't hear it anymore and really missed it.
Sylvie
One of my husband's nicknames for me is Cookie since I like to cook and bake, so I tried to get that name first when I joined CC, but it was already taken. When I got really interested in cake decorating, he started calling me Cakey instead. I thought for sure that would be taken on this site, but I tried it anyway and couldn't believe it was available.
Hmm. I tried to come up with something with all my kids names.. Which are Jason, Brittany, Stephany and Brian.. I could not figure out anything... The older kids were like " Mom just any name".. So I thought and thought and this is what I came up with:
Brian's Baker came to me after having my 4th child. Brian Andrew. He is 4 yrs. old. He loves to help me in the kitchen. He has his own whisk and loves to mix the cake batter with mommy. Everytime I make a cake he tells me " mommy that is a pretty cake". He will try every recipe I make. New and old. He loves eating what I bake. And of course I always make his birthday cakes.
(VS the other kids are sick of cakes, they are like "now who's birthday is it" or " Another one?" Teenagers (rolling eyes))
So what better name to use than Brian's Baker.
What a fun thread!
My screen name comes from a nickname game a friend told me about during college. The rule is that your nick name consists of the first two letters of your full name. So my name was Danielle Rachel Napolio hence "darana", which I kind of like. Then I got married (Cox) so we changed my nickname to "daranaco."
Mine is freddyfl because my dad would call me freddy the freeloader when I was little, then it was shorted to fred when I was a teenager. You should have seen some of the looks we would get when he would say friend and I would answer (I am a girl, if you didn't notice by my siggie. LOL). He still calls me fred or freddy, so that is how I got that name.
Well it 's simple think about it
CAKES ON DEMAND isn,t that what everyone wants.
Nobody has that name and I needed a business name. My husband came up with it and it had to grow on me took me a while to get use to.
Sharon
Well- Euphoria Bakery is the name of my home based baking buisness. I actualy was a baker before a decorator. I sold cookies, cakes, cheescakes, candies, breads and muffins. Then I started learning decorating to add to my business and now I am addicted! I still sell mostly baked goods, but have actually sold a few custom cakes.
Euphoria came from my husband. We sat down to brainstorm a name for the buisness. Wanted something catchy and still buisness like. He says all my baked goods are euphoric, so there you go.
My avatar is the first cake I decorated after reading up on bunches of techniques.
SHenyd- I feel for you! I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old, they are 14 months apart! It gets easier. hang in there!
Hehe I'm ferret deprived! Nothing to do with cakes ,but i love my ferrets. 
sparkles is a nickname my husbands old roommate gave me a long time ago ... MJ is for Mary Jo, my name .... and 2001 is the year my daughters were born.
DANG!! Glad I didn't use MY dog's name.....it's CHUBBS!! 
Just my first name (Gail) and what I like to EAT! Wait a minute........maybe Chubbs is appropriate........... 
everyone's reason are so thought out and cute.........my name is Kristina Halstead......khalstead.....not very creative, but when I signed up here I didn't know I would be so addicted so I chose the screen name and password I put on everything......I have 3 kids and can't remember anything anymore it seems......so I just use the same name and password for EVERYTHING online....LOL
Well, my nickname is Kitti and I used to work in a private club in the kitchen. The waitstaff always refferred to it as Kitti's Kitchen, I always liked that. So now it's Kakes but with a K. I hope to have my own po' boy shop and will call it something to that effect. I just want people to go, "Hey, let's go to Kitti's for luch."
