I am at the final step in getting licensed and legal...just passed inspection last week. I'm having a hard time picking my business name. Many names I liked are already in use by multiple bakeries and I don't know if I can use them. These were my suggestions:

Le Chic Custom cakes
Simply exquisite cakes by Norma
Sweet cakes creations by Norma
Dream cakes
Heavenly dream cakes
More than sprinkles custom cakery

Or just plain
Cakes by Norma

I am soooooo open for suggestions!!! I need this business name real fast

Thanks

I really like Dream Cakes. When I did a quick search of "Cake's by Norma', quite a few similar websites came up.

I like simply sweets by norma. Hubby is trying to avoid using my name idk why??

I know...quite a few others have Cakes by norma.

What about..."More than just sprinkles custom cakery"? or too long?

How about if someone already has the same name?

Idk... I think it's nice to have your name included, especially if it's a home-based business, but not so much for a storefront.

I think so too. I'm actually going to be renting commercial space so I won't have a storefront

I'd suggest you start looking on what names are available online. Assuming you will want a website. I had a few names picked out but the web addresses were already taken. So I had to change mine so that I could get the web address as well. With that said all your names are great but I wouldn't make it too long. Either people won't remember or they will shorten it anyway. Congrats and best of luck!

Congrats!!! I think pick a name you like include your name change it slightly to make it your own, because there are so many businesses with the same name. icon_biggrin.gif

I stand corrected. LOL

I usually check more carefully, must have been multi-tasking again.

I don't like the person's name included unless it's first and last name like Norma Johnson Cakes. It sounds more professional and sophisticated with both names.

I really like Dream Cakes. It's simple and "punchy." I think names with too many words are just hard to remember. Is it Heavenly Dream Cakes, Dreamy Heaven Cakes? I think it just confuses.
