Name for cake business

Thread Starter 
I've been making cakes since I was 17 and I'm finally at the point where I'd like to start marketing my cakes a bit more. I've been trying to come up with a name, something catchy, that I could put on business cards. I've seen a lot of great names on this site (you guys are so crafty!!). I have come up with a few ideas but I want to make sure that I'm not taking a name from an already established business. These are my ideas (hopefully original, or somewhat anyway): Cakes Unlimited, Confections Unlimited, BabyCakes, Cake Occasions. I like BabyCakes (I just think it would be cool to answer the phone "Hi BabyCakes"), but I don't want to give the impression that I only make baby theme cakes (although they are my favorite). I also make other desserts, so I was thinking Confections Unlimited might work too. I would appreciate any feedback, positive or negative, regarding the names. If any of these names are already taken, please let me know. Thanks!

I think Baby Cakes is really cute. Maybe in smaller letters underneath you can write cakes and confections.

Welcome to Cakecentral!! glad to have you on board!

I think all the names you came up with are very clever. Confections Unlimited is my favorite. The "unlimited" part covers a wide range and that's a good thing. Although Baby Cakes is a cute name.....my first impression was that you mainly make "small" cakes!

Good luck whatever you should choose!

Well, it can include your name too.... me, when I'm ready, I'm considering MamaDucks Nummies or Deb's Delicious Delights.

Those are all good names, if you are thinking of putting your site online, cakesunlimited is already taken by two different people. I came up with my name when I delivered one of my first baby shower cakes and the mom started crying, her friend told her that she shouldn't shed teardrops.... hence: Tierdrop Bakeshop I just love answering the phone with a cute rhyming name. And people always ask me about the name which leads to orders!

First of all, I have to say that I am so in love with this website! Thanks for the advice. I'm not feeling any of the names I've thought of yet. I want something clever, that will catch people's attention. Something that they will remember (although, hopefully they will remember me because of my cakes too). Tierdrop Bakeshop is very clever! That's the type of name I want. I made a cake to bring to work for a baby shower today and everyone told me I was in the wrong business and that I should be making cakes so that was a boost to start selling cakes again.

This doesn't really help you, but I saw the cutest name today! It was Batter Up Bake Shop.

I like the idea of answering the phone with a catchy name...I just thought of what it would sound like if your business was "Sweet Thing" or "Yummy Bites" or something like that!

What a way to start a conversation! icon_lol.gif

OMG, I love the BatterUp thing. Too cute. And I just realized that my av has the wrong name. I need to fix that. I made that for my 5yr old because she wanted to see her name on my av but I forgot to fix it!

What about something like "Confectionery Factory"?
You could put your name in front of it too? icon_confused.gif

I was just looking through some forums and thinking to myself "I'm addicted to these" and it hit me. What do you all think about Cake Addiction as a cake business name? It doesn't have clever multiple meanings like Batter Up Bake Shop or Tierdrop Bake Shop, but since those are already taken, I think it's a pretty good name...

I like it! And if that doesn't work out, what about Sweet Addiction; Sweet Life; Sweet Delights.... maybe too many sweets?
