my daughters about to get started on a business making cakes. you know, birthdays, weddings, christenings etc. shes pretty sh*t hot at it even if i do say so meself 🙂
she was gonna call it 'cherry on the cake' but is now having second thoughts and thinking about 'cakes by kym' or somethings to make it sound more personal.
i know theres some pretty active minds on here, so i told her id ask you lot and see if you can come up with owt better 🙂
cheers

She needs to send us some to try first.......
I'm sure you will get plenty of half baked ideas from here.

How about something geographical ie where she is? There must be somewhere nice sounding around where she lives or something. I guess she's after local business more than anything, so that might be a start and make people remember a local business rather than a person's name.
sweet somethings...
How about simply calling it...Best Cakes Ever
cakeaine
think shes already been in touch with the other cherry on the cake and shes been given the go-ahead to use it. thanks for the ideas so far. hmmm....the geographical ideas worth some thought, (lincoln FWIW)

She can have that for free too. I admire anyone who wants to strike out on his or her own. Good luck to her.

from that classic stand by joke by best men - it'll all end in tiers
think shes already been in touch with the other cherry on the cake and shes been given the go-ahead to use it
I presume she's going to have some sort of online presence, even if just a single page with contact details, so I think sharing a name with an identical business isn't a recipe for success regardless of whether she's been given the go-ahead or not.
I don't know about others, but if I could remember a distinctive name and wanted more details I'd google it, but I'd end up with someone elses page top of the list.

My husband's suggested wesellcakes.com - I laughed at him at first but actually it's grown on me now.
some great suggestions here, very clever 🙂 We like loads of them.
Her signature cake has got cherries on the top, hence her original name and shes asked if anyone could think of building that into the name anywhere possibly?
thanks 🙂
'Cherry on top'
Sorry, I wasted all my creative juices on The Cake District.
not wasted at all dd, thats one of the favourites 🙂
Bite My Cherry 😳
I meant I can't muster up anymore mate. I reckon you've just had my quota for 2011. 🙂

Actually that's rubbish - it doesn't say 'cake'
Btw, a client of ours has a business called The Bespoke Cupcake Co.
i used to sell bread and cakes and flapjacks and stuff in festivals round europe, we called our stall 'baps+flaps'
of course the name is yours if you want it . . . it did us proud, though the clientèle are probably very different

'Kymshots and creampies' should attract some traffic

I proper lol'd at that, it must of appealed to my childish sense of humor.
well.....after much consideration she's chosen a name. my favourite I think was either cake district of it'll end in tiers. she didn't want that tho as she said it had undertones of being disappointed :-/
but she took that and changed it to tiers of happiness which I thought was excellent.
BUT THEN she went and changed it for no good reason to A Piece of Cake!!!!!
ah well. at least she's happy with it. thanks to everyone for all your input and ideas 🙂
cheers
How about ...
Cake & cake ...
Nobody is using this name at the moment.
🙂
Cake & fine wine.
🙁
I was holding out so much hope...
Best of luck to her.
There is a 'Piece of Cake' on Otley Road in Harrogate.
The cake is a lie.
The problem with light hearted names is they give the impression of over sugared under flavoured cakes, run by some half witted wife as a hobby business to spend her husbands money.
Something like "death by cake" on the other hand hints that the cake will be full of flavour a real evil pleasure that's worth shortening your life for.
*rushes off to trademark The Cake District*
I'd be inclined to use 'Peace of Cake'
Cake Expectations.

I guess that comes down to the products and the USP for the business - if they WANT to be light and sugary...
*executes a sharp about turn* 😳
Is she going to have a shop or start from home? If she's having a shop for goodness sake get her to have a big opening inviting loads of locals to try some samples. We have a cake shop down the road which appeared under the radar a couple of months ago, it's a reasonable sized premesis with a few cake stands and some very bored looking people sitting in it, never see any punters in there, no one really noticed it arrive and I think everyone feels a bit embarassed going in.
