Help me with a business name!

LMW1990 · 26/10/2020 20:16

I'm about to register a small business making cakes, giant celebration cookies and other baked goods.

I have been spurred on my work colleagues who I bake for frequently. I'm now the go to person in an office of over 100 and I'm quietly confident that this could be a good thing for me. I'm not out to make £££; I absolutely love baking, it's my happy place. However, now people are asking me to quote for friends and family and I recognise that I need to register with the council, food standards and insure myself.

To do this, I need a name!

So far I have [Name] Cakes and Cookies. Seems a bit boring though. I'd like something nice, professional and classy.

Any ideas?!

I I do like a bit of alliteration myself, so if your name stats with a C, it could be a winner

Clare's Cakes & Cookies

RandomMess · 26/10/2020 22:02

Cakes & Cookies by X not much different but worth considering?

LMW1990 · 26/10/2020 22:02

Bad example but something like Ee ba Cakes!

I love PPs' suggestions of Ee bah crumb! And Ee bah yum!

If most of your custom will come from locals, then they will likely 'get' those names. If it wasn't, I'd go for something like The Office Bakery.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 01/11/2020 22:52

I like Ee Bah Crumb , but I'm not sure how fed up you'll get of spelling/explaining it to non locals & how it'll be for emails etc

Please start charging a proper price for your work, especially now that you have to pay for all the registrations etc. Don't let people take the piss with your prices and asking for mates rates etc.

Baked by Lxxxxxx

I like Crumbs!

Also this one...could be a very classy logo with Baked in one font and then 'by Lxxx' in a script font underneath.
