Pretty please.....

I am getting enough practice under my belt that I'd like to start advertising and getting the word out about my "business". I am toiling over a name. I didn't think it'd be this hard to think of something.

Here's a little about me - maybe you can all help me come up with something. You've all had some great ideas for others! My name is Suzanne, nicknames of Zanner (by my brothers), Aunt Sushi by a nephew and a good friend of his for the past 15 years. Don't wanna use Sushi, though, because.............well, who wants to buy a cake from someone who has Sushi in their name. LOL. My favorite color is purple - in fact, I'm purple crazy for some reason. Always have been. I live just south of Denver (Colorado) in a suburb called Highlands Ranch. I want to do cakes, cheesecakes, cookies and chocolates. So, I was thinking of something along the lines of "So and So's Cakes & Confections. I would like the name to sound "elegant" as opposed to "cute" because I want to someday soon do wedding cakes and would like to attract the "big dollar" spenders (if I can). There is a rather expensive and "posh" area of Denver called Cherry Creek, so the name Cherry Creek Cakes & Confections has crossed my mind.......but I'm just not sure (too long and wordy?). I'm also not sure of using the name Cherry Creek if I don't LIVE in Cherry Creek (I know it's legal but people will also ask if "my bakery" is there??). I am a Christian and would really like to have something related to my faith in the title......but am coming up blank (maybe Blessed Bakery, Heavenly Creations, Heavenly Cakes & Confections?).

My mind is swirling with ideas, just nothing that really "nails it for me" so far.

If you're all so inclined, can you help me with this one? I don't think I want my name in the title - not sure why.....although a good friend of mine suggested SUZIE'S SWEETS (I go by Suzanne or Suzie) - SUZIES SWEET CONFECTIONS. Hmmmm. I don't know.

Thanks everyone. I look forward to hearing some of your great ideas.

Well, for a name that is more elitish...
Chez Suzanne Cakery
(and confections) - as a subtitle.

When you advertise you could always add the subline of

Now serving Cherry Creek

I kind of like that - sounds so.......oui, oui, madame

I'm gonna bump myself in the hopes of getting some more great suggestions, too....thanks for your input !! I mean, merci beaucoup, mademoiselle

If you wanted something spiritual, you could do Covenant Cakes and Confections. I think I spelled that right.

Stay close to the first of the alphabet (for the yellow pages).

How about Heavenly Cakes and Confectioners.

("CAKES TO DIE FOR" - THis is me just being silly) LOL

I like Heavenly Cakes and Confectioners


Maybe Divine Creations - Cakes and Confectioners.

All The Best

Have a Blessed Sunday

Try this one out:

Heaven Scent Cakes and Confections

Edited to add:

Heaven Scent Creations

How about

A Halo of Cakes & Confectioners Confessions

How about


"Blessed Batters"

How about


"Batters of Faith"
"A Prayer & A Heavenly Cake"
"Heavenly Cake let us pray"
"Blind Faith Cakes"

Divine Decadance: cakes, confections, cookies and chocolates to die for.

Purple Purgatory Pleasures: the guilt of eating our cakes and confections alone will add years to your stay there!

can use purple as your "signature" color"

create a signature dessert that you name "Cherry Creek" -- like a cheesecake or strudle?

Well, how about just..

Cherry Creek Confections? and make purple your signature color?

I used to be Heaven-Lee Custom Cakes when I was in PA, as my married name was LEE! lol

My new place is Risque Business Bakery & Cafe, and my signature color is PINK! I even found a glittery glaze to put on my walls!

Maybe

Blessed Faith Bakery

I wouldn't use anything too religious, that's just me though, you don't want to limit your clientele! Confession Worthy Confections is enough of a pun and not offensive to anyone who isn't spiritual.

All right... I have question then....

What do you hear when you see this:

Coakie Joe's

Half my friends love it and the other half don't get it. My grandparents names were "Coakie" and "Joe" and it is pronounced Coke-EEEE.

I am at a point where if I have to change it, now is the time...sorry, not trying to hi-jack the thre

Cripes....

Coakie Joe's Cakes is the full name. I just LOVED it for totally sentimental reasons and I thought it was pretty cool but now I am doubting myself a bit. I am using a motif of a 1950's diner...you know, baby pink and teal with black and white? Sorry, wasn't trying to take over thread. I should have posted a sep. one.

Suzanne's Patisserie - Hey, your name sounds French and why not just continue the French for pastry shop. You might need to include Napoleons in your offerings but they are easy.

What is a Napolean?

Puff pastry cut in rectangles, split into layers after they are baked and then stacked. Three layers of puff pastry with 2 layers of pastry cream the top layer has vanilla glaze with chocolate stripes zig-zagged. This link will take you to a tradtional Napoleon.

Ok....now I am just flat out jealous! You have sparkly pink walls???? That is like a dream come true for me - that is my favorite color. My friends say it's obnoxious but I say "Bite me!"....I like it!

hahha, sorry to highjack this post, but I have to answer Cake Diva, I say to those people that find PINK obnoxious to bite me too. If you have a Walmart near you...that's where I got the Pink Sparkly glaze...I think it was like in the kids home improvement section...or something like that! lol

Go forth CakeDiva and get your PINK SPARKLE WALL GLAZE....It makes me happy just looking at it!! lol

Aunt Sushi -
I've been trying to come up with a name for my way future business, and I was trying to incorporate a Christian theme in mine, too! Had thought of 'Sonshine' - maybe Suzanne's Sonshine Confections, etc. ... or maybe use 'grace'?
