So I know there are a lot of creative minds out there, and not just cake creative so I am asking for your help. I am currently in Utah and my business is SophistiCakes-  Cakes by Jaclyn. 

I have a done some research and there is currently a cake business with the SophistiCakes name and is only about 45 minutes from where I am moving, 

So ...here's my dilemma. 

I would like to come up with a new catchy name but I already have a "brand' thing going on with the capital "S" & "C" from my name and I hate to lose it as it is my packaging label, I have it on shirts etc. So I beg you please help.

My future vision (when i get a store front) is slightly boutiquy (sp) with simple but clean and elegant decorations. The colors in my are a nice deep purple and and limey sage green and white. 

This is what it looks like!! I would also like to keep the overall logo and just incorporate the new name!

I basically stick to cakes and cupcakes, I'll do cake pops and such but DO NOT WANT to make that too obvious....lol!

Thanks in advance for all of your great ideas!

AOne option would be "SC Cakes" or "SC Cakes by Jaclyn".

I love the name you have but I would change my business name as well if in the same situation since there's another business in such close proximity. How about Sweet Creations or Splendid Confections.

AYou could be hip. .. Sucree'-Cray

Heh.

ASimply Cakes

Brandisbakes...what does that mean...I tried to Google it but couldn't get a very clear answer..I am intrigued! 

I do like Simply cakes..but I was hoping for a touch of pizzazz to the name...my fault for not mentioning that in my OP

Oh i should also mention, I don't think it has to be first S last C it could switch I suppose!! Might open up more ideas!

ASugar couture Sweet couture Sublime cakes

ASugar Creations?

ASucree is french for sugar (pronounced sue-cray), and cray-cray is today's slang for crazy. So pronounced Sue-cray-cray.

Sophisti Kakes

Charmed Sugar -  I think this would be easy to remember for the customer and easy to promote for you.  I'm thinking charmed as in magical although the word charm has several meanings.

Yay! Somebody goy my joke. :grin:

AI got it but was half way through typing the explanation when your post appeared! Maybe it could be "sucree-cray - that cake cray".

AI've always heard sue-cray.

What I remember from my high school and college French:

sucre = pronounced sucruh (very short on the second syllable, in fact, more of a sound than a syllable); noun, sugar

sucré or sucrée = pronounced sucray, adjective, sugared, sugary

My two cents: in a quick survey of friends and co-workers, none had heard of saying cray for crazy. I wouldn't use that for a business.

AThe usual term is "that s**t cray".

Current slang is not a good idea because it usually isn't "current" very long.

AWinning! :-D

You all are so awesome. I must say I agree about the slang thing... I put it to some friends and some family and while it sounds fun, I feel as though I would have to spend wayyyyy too much time explaining it! So far I am loving the Charmed Sugar idea. I also like Jason's suggestion of SC cakes just for the simplicity of only having to delete a word from the current name. Keep em coming!!!

AWhat about Sensational Creations and keeping cakes by Jaclyn ? :-)
