HI, I'm making the final decision for my business name.
Please tell me which one you prefer and why, and why you don't care for the other.

Sherrie's cake magic
or
Sherrie's magical cakes.

Thanks for the help.

magical.... it sounds more whimsical and fun... Magic sounds like the cake has powers or is supposed to do something... Just my opinion... Good Luck!! thumbs_up.gif

I prefer Sherri's Cake Magic. Sherri's Magical Cakes brings to mind that maybe you make magical themed cakes (ie castle cakes).

I like Sherrie's Cake Magic

The other makes me think of Unicorns and rainbows... unless that is what you were going for?

I think the second version is much more elegant and professional.

Cake Magic is short but blunt.

Magical Cakes leaves more to the imagination.

I vote for number 2!

" Cake Magic is short but blunt. "

That is the very reason I would vote for # 1....... easier to remember.... icon_wink.gif

wow this is tough, and looks like a bit of a tie so far!

hmmmm

I think I like #1, Sherrie's Cake Magic better. It puts more focus on you as the creator of the cakes and business owner. Sort of like saying you can do anything with cakes.

Magical cakes puts the focus on the cakes, kind of like someone mentioned, like the cakes are magical-themed or have special powers. I picure cakes floating around a shop with this for some reason! LOL.

I like "Cake Magic" It brings home the point that you do unbelievable things with cakes. "Magical Cakes" sounds a little more vague to me.

when I first read you post, I liked the Magical cakes better, but now after reading all the other posts I like cake magic... shorted, to the point, and like stated before, sounds like you can do anything with cakes.

I vote for the first one as well. There is just something in that name that says special to me.

I think the second one is too whimsical too. Makes me think of magic stuff.

Good Luck!

#1 Cake Magic


Same reasons as czyadgrl.


Cake magic sounds more universal appeal wise...magical cakes sounds more limited in it's appeal to the general public.

I agree that this one puts more emphasis on your talent rather than the "magical cakes".

I think I like Sherries Magical Cakes better than Cake Magic...when I first read Cake Magic, I thought it sounded more like a product than a business.

But I do like them both so whichever you decide will be great! Plus, I've never heard of anyone naming their business anything like that..so great job and very creative!!

I like Sherrie's Cake Magic. I think it definitely puts the emphasis on you and what you do with cakes rather than putting the emphasis on cakes.

I vote for "cake magic."
"Magical" brings up a fantasy/castle feeling. Too specific.

Definitely Cake Magic.

It brings the song Strange Magic by ELO into my head. Something homophonic about it. Good name, good tune.

I like Cake Magic.

But I tell you, I'd have to play off of your first name... Baking with Sherry, Cakes with Sherry ( and your lovely assistant Brandy and your intern Jen)
