OK All You Creative CCers Put your powdered sugar covered thinking caps on.....

I didn't think I was going to need to do this for a while....BUT...my business has kind of exploded lately (FINALLY!!) And I think its time to come up with a name or a gimmick or something....but heres where I'm coming into a problem....this business covers a WIDE variety of baked goods and things and I'm STUCK!

So I hope you can help or at least point in some sort of direction

Heres a little info to get the ball rolling....

my name is Colleen....live in a small town surrounded by lots of other small country-ish towns....making cookies, cakes, coffeecakes, brownies, truffles, frosted rice krispie treats, marshmallow and cookie bouquets, wedding and birthday cakes.....moderately priced (nothing really frou frou)..umm....i think thats all i can tell you that is relevant.....

any suggestion is better than no suggestion

Thanks a ton in advance for your help

oh! p.s.---not quite legal yet...but the "friends and family" circle is branching...and a woman up the road that used to do cakes is "retiring" and sending all of her business my way...

Calling You Cakes by Colleen

Colleen You Cakes

Ummm..........

Colleen's Cakes N Cookies N More
Colleen's Goodies
Colleen's Treats for Every Occasion.....

Thanks for your suggestions!!

Anybody got any more?

Colleen what is the name of the town you live in?

What about Colleens Country Goodies?

Or C's Treats, or C's Sweets or,

Deserts by Colleen

I guess it really depends on your area, your specialties, Your age (I know that sounds dumb but If you want classy or kookie) And Your interests.

Good luck I'll let you know if I think of any more.

C.C.C.

P.S. my baby sister is Colleen also....So I like your name.

Thank you for your responses everyone!!!

Heres a little more info that you asked for Courtney...

my town is this itty bitty little town named Owasco in the middle of the Finger Lakes and it has 214 ppl, 40 thousand cows, pigs, chickens, llamas, emu and who the heck knows what else It borders like 15 other small towns within a 20 mile radius...now I have more orders for cookies than anything else at this point...but i have a fair share of cake, tart, brownie, and pie orders as well....and on Sunday I will be 27.

Colleen--- I really think You should use something like Colleens Sweet Treats with a picture of a basket full of goodies.

I really know what you mean about your town. That is how it is here. Don't blink.

Let me know what you decide.

C.C.C.

It's probably too dorky but something like

Colleen's Finger Lickin' Treats.... as a play on the Finger lakes area you're in?

Something simple.....Pastries by Colleen
I did a little mock up in my Paint Shop Pro just for the fun of it.

how about "The Country Baker" or "Cakes, Cookies, and More" or
"Colleen's Tempting Treats" or "Colleen's Edible Edibles" or "Tasty Treats by Colleen"...is that too much?

Hey Guys I think Diane has something here I think the Country Baker is a cute name. Or Colleens Country Creations. You can do the logo like a monogram -cCc-, With your favorite flowers.

CCC

why...thank-you.

I was also thinking something like Colleen's Country Confections. I really like that idea of using the monogram cCc with flowers. Sound really county-ish.

I like Colleen's Confections... it doesn't just narrow it down to one kind of treat, because you are known for lots of goodies.

Hi Colleen...I know kinda where you live in NY...I went to college in Ithaca and went on a wine tour in/or around your area a few times...much fun. I live near Watertown NY. Kinda neat to see someone on here that lives "sorta" close to my area. Well, like other ppl on here, I was going to suggest Colleen's Confections, Colleen's Creations and I liked someone's idea of the cCc monogram. Not sure what your last name is but maybe you could use the first letter of your last name to go with it. Hope that helps.

I think "Coleen's Country Confections" has a nice ring to it.

How about "Loven from the oven in Owasco" then
your Ad could read.Are you craven a cake then give
me call because thats what i bake.

"Sweet Colleen's"?

From Colleen's Kitchen

I like the ones previously posted with the cCc idea.

I was going to say "Sweet Colleen's" too. You beat me to it Babarooskie.

How about " Culinary Confection- R- Us" or
Colleens Confection- R-Us

Danielle....I just moved from Ft Drum to where I live now What a small world

Thank you everyone for your suggestions...my cousin is a graphic designer and in between his job as a video game designer hes trying to come up with a logo for me to kind of find a name to go off of....I appreciate your thinking caps...keep em comin!!!

Where is Ft Drum?

How 'bout Cakes and Confections by Colleen?

Fort Drum is about 10 minutes north of Watertown which is abouth 1 1/2 north of Syracuse. We get lots of snow here and I LOVE IT!!! The humidity is not fun, especially when baking cakes.
