Cafe/Cake Shop name ideas!

KenBarlow · 18/09/2017 22:06

I've found a great location for a business I've wanted to start for years. For the past few weeks I've been putting ideas together to make it a reality, but I'm stuck on the name!

I think I'd like the name to focus more on the cake side, and sound classy or luxurious (the cakes will be, and suits the location) and less focussed on the cafe side as it'll be more about the baked items but a small lunch menu will be available.

Avoiding names to do with tea rooms or coffee, and not keen on having the word cafe in the title. Not asking for much am I? Grin

One I came across that I liked is "The Cake Kitchen", it sounds more modern and more interesting than a cafe I feel. What do you think?

Possibly "Rachel's Cake Kitchen"? I don't mind sharing my name as I've name changed! I've added a logo idea that I found online, and I think this name would look good in a similar style?

I'd love something that sounds modern and high end.
Does anybody know any great names that I could learn from?

Any ideas or opinions would be great!

Could you incorporate your town or hometown name?

Chelmsford Bakes
Tooting Cakery
etc

Gracielaw · 19/09/2017 19:21

The contemporay cake co / company

I like stuff like this for example - The Cotswold Cake Company.

How about The 'villages name' Larder

Very classy

BusySittingDown · 19/09/2017 20:05

Piece of Cake
The Cake Boutique

I like the idea of naming it after the area as a PP mentioned:
Cheltenham Cakery
Lancashire Cakes etc.

BusySittingDown · 19/09/2017 20:05

The Golden Whisk is good.

I love that logo!

KenBarlow · 19/09/2017 20:08

I love the named after locations one like mentioned before, but although the location is lovely the name of it isn't as exciting haha!

I think I'm sold on The Golden Whisk Grin
I've already decided on my colour scheme which includes small hints of gold so that's perfect, then I can have whisks on the wall as a feature maybe!

Something like Betty's. Great cake place in York called Betty's. Doesn't have to be too try hard

Ploppie4 · 19/09/2017 20:10

Which town will you be based?

Ploppie4 · 19/09/2017 20:11

Prefer 'towns name' cakery

Ploppie4 · 19/09/2017 20:12

Or area/road name

Hampton street cakery

KenBarlow · 19/09/2017 20:27

Can't really share the location name at the minute, I may come back and share once up and running if anyone is local!

I think I may owe badbadhusky a slice of cake or ten for the name idea

badbadhusky · 19/09/2017 20:28

Yay! I love cake. What is your signature bake?

KenBarlow · 19/09/2017 20:33

I hate to blow my own trumpet but I make excellent shortbread and Gingerbread.

My ideas for the menu so far are Victoria sponge with strawberries and cream, chocolate cake, lemon and lime cheesecake, shortbread, gingerbread and scones.
Hoping those will be my regular range, then I need some weird and wonderful options too!

Ooh some great cakes there! Will we get photos of your place? I'd love to see how you get on. Anyone up for an MN coach trip for a visit?!

allegretto · 19/09/2017 20:40

I hate to blow my own trumpet
You need to blow it if you want your own business! They sound delicious.

KenBarlow · 19/09/2017 20:45

I definitely need to learn to blow my own trumpet!! Hopefully they'll look so delicious I won't need to too much Wink

I'm in Yorkshire if that helps with the trip Grin

QueenieMum · 19/09/2017 20:51

Ahh Yorkshire, God's own country Grin Surely someone on here knows Coach Trip Brendan, Mary Berry & Mel & Sue for the grand opening?!

badbadhusky · 19/09/2017 20:55

Have you considered cheese scones? There's a National Trust place we visit that does a savory cream tea - cheese & wild garlic scone, butter, cream cheese & chutney. Goes well with a bowl of soup. That would be one of your lunch options sorted too. Smile

KenBarlow · 19/09/2017 21:05

That sounds absolutely delicious husky!!

Queenie - I'll settle for Noel if not Grin

How about The Baker's Hat or Rachel's Patisserie?

I love a bit of cake!

Or Margery Dawe's (kidding) Grin
