have this problem?

Well not really a problem, but I always have brides that have a hard time making a decision regarding "combo's" like what type of BC with what type of cake etc.

So I was thinking of adding a "specialty" cake section. ie) 10 cakes that I've created the combo's and gave cool names, like "A little piece of heaven". KWIM?

I'm stumped on a few though,

one would be "cake", BC, and your choosing of chocolate bar pieces.

two would be fresh fruit and chocolate or french vanilla cream and cake.

Anyone creative and can think of a fun name for those? Thanks!!

You have such a cute business name. I think in your situation I might go with fun names like the ones OPI uses for their polish colors. Some of them are goofy but some of them are cute. Like say, maybe if you had a coffee/latte flavor combo you could call it Cafe a Latte or whatever. Maybe if you post your intended combos some of us could help with specific names. I think Doug could probably come up with some really good ones. He's great at that stuff!

I just thought of something else...maybe all the names could incorporate the word Bean in the title. Like chocolate could be Cocoa Bean, coffee would be Coffee Bean. Okay maybe that's all that could use Bean but well, I was just thinkin'. That's twice I've mentioned coffee, maybe I need to make some!

That's cute, vanilla bean, jelly bean, I don't think I'd do green bean, LOL, even butter bean would be cute. LOL.

You could probably use Tropical Hawaiian or how about Pacific Island Pleasure.

I also think that Caramel Macciato is a Starbucks signature drink and so may be trademarked or something??

I'm not much help on the name aspect, but it's a great idea to already have these put together for them. Sometimes when folks think they are giving brides lots of choices, what they are giving brides is lots of headaches!

Brides have a lot of decisions to make ... the easier you make the process, the better they like working with you! That's one reason our package pricing is so popular!

When they get stumped on the choices, do you make recommendations for them? When I get brides who can't choose between scalloped potatoes and rice pilaf, I jump and tell that that the scalloped potatoes go best with the ham or the rice pilaf is a good combo with the chicken in wine sauce.

So having a list already put together is a great idea! remember, they are the novice .... we are the experts! They depend on us to let them know what is going to work best together!

Sugar Bean---Okay cool. I just knew that some of the names of their signature drinks are copyrighted or whatever. I really like the idea and your names are great! I love lemon kiss and strawberry bliss especially! What is in those two?

Lemon Kiss; French Vanilla Cake, French Vanilla Mousse, Lemon Curd (pretty simple, but makes your mouth pucker). It's my most popular combo, when I put it together for them.

Strawberry bliss: strawberry BC, Strawberry mousse, Chocolate cake. icon_smile.gif
