Anybody want a free wedding cake?

Sherrie/IQ - please tell me if this is classed as advertising. I don't think it is being's I've not got a business to advertise yet but I'll happily remove it if you'd prefer.

Right - I've been trying to turn my cake making into a 'proper' business for nearly two years now but have been waiting for our kitchen to be completely finished so it can be inspected. We are nearly there now so I'm starting to get my backside into gear in terms of doing the admin side. I have a big problem though - I can't settle on a business name.

You ladies are just the market I'll be aiming for so I'm thinking that you might be the best people to ask about names. What makes you drawn to a company? What makes you trust them? etc,

The things I'm trying to portray are - very reliable, range of cakes from traditional to novelty, flexible, good value but not cheap, professional. We'll also be doing cookies and cupcakes. I know I don't want my name to be included but other than that I'm fairly flexible. My thoughts have included 'Say It With Sugar', 'Midlands Cake Studio' and 'Ivory Tower Cakes' but none have seemed perfect.

So I'm after some suggestions for a company name. I know that you don't all have time to sit around thinking of names for me so I was thinking that I could offer a bit of an incentive. If you suggest the name that I choose then I will make a cake for you up to the value of £150 (or give a £150 discount on a larger order). The cake can be for your wedding, a birthday or just because!

If it helps, these are just a few photos of the different types of cake I can do:

(I have to point out that Buzz is cake as well as the cake he's standing on)

Hope somebody can help!

    Hiya,

    I'm no expert on this sort of thing but I can tell you about my bakery search experience I guess. Well I think you need to work out who you will be baking for. Will it be an up market business with big prices or something that can suit all budgets? For me whenever i was searching the net for things I always stayed away from websites with the word designer in or luxury etc. because although I want luxury my budget wouldn't stress to a designer wedding so I didn't even look at the sites. I was drawn to cake sites that had things like sweet and sugar in the name or sort of like homely names that would make me think of little old grandmas standing in her kitchen all day baking cakes etc. I hope this helps!! As I said I am no expert!

    My H2B and I were lying in bed last night thinking up terrible cake-related puns and giggling away to ourselves! Nothing you could use though.

    Thank you so much everybody, you've come up with some fantastic ideas. I've printed the thread off and I'm going to muse over them for a week or so (I don't like to rush my decision making ?).
