Cupcake business name needed!

68 replies

Flopsy145 · 06/04/2022 13:03

So my friend and I are setting up a baking side hustle and have drawn a blank on the name so looking for ideas and inspo!

A summary of our business model is cupcakes for parties/weddings, hopefully supplier to cafes, a collection of child friendly ones with hidden veg and lower sugar and then standard ones that are a bit different (think earl grey and black currant, rum and ginger beer, lemon and courgette) etc.

I agree, keep it simple. No puns! Oxfordshire Cake Boutique or Cupcakes by Vivienne or Frosted or something.

Having locations means if people search
Cupcakes + location on Google, they'll see you.

Not another cupcake business

I actually think this is brilliant! Grin

But OP, to be honest, things like Lola's Cupcakes works!
Your Name Here's Cupcakes... boom. Job done.

The xxxxx Cake Company

Sounds classy, and would show up on Google searches.

@OutingHobby

I think if you're starting small then be really careful not to use a name similar to an existing business
Yes – and in fact I’d do some SEO keyword research first to help with the naming.

Agree with PPs that “The Town Name Cupcake Company” or “Town Name Cupcakes” is the route to success here. Or The Town Name Bakery if you want to go upmarket, as cupcakes really aren’t.

What are you laughing at?!

LTB (Light Tasty Bites) Cupcakes.

My other suggestion is 'MOIST' (Made (in) Oxford Iced Spongy Treats).

Make mini Bundt cake cupcakes, instead of just regular cupcakes, to make your products stand apart.

Have your cake and eat it

I would go for "Town Name" Cakes

It certainly helps when looking for a cake company to know where they are and I wouldn't used "cupcakes" just cakes or you are limiting your market.

The is a market out there for celebration cakes to cut, and matching cupcakes for party bags.

You might have to pay royalties, but Bupcakes and Cunting Grin

NowEvenBetter · 06/04/2022 16:45

I’m surprised to hear there’s enough of a demand for cupcakes in 2022 that it’d pay two peoples salaries. How much are you projected to earn?

If you’re not making actual cakes, I’d avoid having the word in the title.
[town name] cupcakes is fine.

NowEvenBetter · 06/04/2022 16:52

(I worked in a place that kept making cupcakes, no one bought them, couldn’t give them away for free (they tried!), so I’m wondering how they’d bring money in wherever OP lives)
