i just launched my biz officially this week. Sweet Water Bakehouse. I got the inspiration from an old tee shirt that i thought said "sweet water taffy" but when i went to look, it actually says "salt city taffy". lol. so i got my idea from a bad memory and an old tee! lol.
L.E. Cake Shoppe. (Lake Erie Cake Shoppe)
I live on Lake Erie. My name is Danielle and my whole life my mother called me Ellie (Ellie Bells, Elly Belly.) So I abbreviated Lake Erie to L.E. so that it sounds like Ellie.
So its Lake Erie Cake Shoppe, but at the same time its Ellie Cake Shoppe.
Hi, fun to read all of this!! I wanted a name that was a bit different and also one suitable for Holland and for Spain (I am Dutch, my husband is Spanish and we have plan to emigrate to Spain), so just tossing and playing with words, I also had in mind the "message" behind my cakes, that magical feeling I felt when my grandma ordered her yearly birthday cake from the patissier, with marzipan and roses, looking so great!!
So then it became tartas + abracadabra (the magic part 
) and there my name was "born" TARTACADABRA 
I have seen lots of great names of course but I am still very happy with it also because I could now give my website the magical look like the Harry Potter books.
Good luck with yours!!

Mine isn't very original I don't think...The Icing on the Cake....and there is another one in England who is not related to me at all. My business is registered with "Scotland" on the end of it but I don't have to use it on a day to day basis. The phrase, the icing on the cake is used constantly so I always smile when I hear it! 
Extra Icing on the Cake was just another spin off for my blog. I thought of that all by myself! 
(clever me! ) The Icing on the Cake was a suggestion of a Cookery teacher from the school I used to work at so I can't even say that I thought it up!
Mine is A Touch of Sugar. I hadn't put too much thought into what I was going to call my business, but one day I was flipping through a cake magazine and saw A Pinch of Sugar which I thought was a great name and also made me think of my Nanna because when she used to bake she never measured her ingredients and she always used to say a pinch of sugar when she would measure it out. So, the next best thing for me was A Touch of Sugar! Good luck!
My business name: The Cupcake Mom. I have four kids. I always make elaborate cupcakes for all holidays at school (ground hog's day, back to school, etc). The kids in the class have always just called me "The Cupcake Mom." So, when I started my business, my daughter said this should be my name.
I made a list of potential names and then started researching them. I don't want one that is close to a trademarked name, etc. I have also done some research on what people thought of the names. I have it narrowed down and will be making my final selection soon.
I was pulling my hair out trying to come up w/ a name that wasn't already registered so I posted a bunch of ideas here and was getting kind of desperate. One I listed was Cake Paper (I also do custom photo cards in addition to cakes and wanted the "paper" part of the business included) and one of the great ladies here (Steph2325) suggested Paper Cakes and I thought that was great! I just combined it to make Papercakes. It's short and simple and I like it!
Mine's pretty long - Sweet Nothings by Meg. I really liked the idea of having my name incorporated in the business name. "Sweet Nothings" comes from a game my 4 yo dd and I have played at bedtimes for years. We take turns giving "sweet nothing" kisses all over each other's faces after lights-out. It's a special bond for us 
.
I named myself "the cake chick" because my maiden name is Ciacciarelli (pronounced Chick-a-relli) and growing up everyone called me little chick. (youngest of 3). So far, don't really have much of a business except that I make cakes for my friends and family and I do have a website (thecakechick.com)... Someday maybe it will be officially a business and less a hobby....and then, maybe I can make money
I love science (as in creating chocolate and cakes takes a scientific background) and I have a love for sweets. I was reading an article that said a certain resturant was the spot to get your sweets at so that's how I came up with Sweetspot Desserts- Cakes & Chocolates.
Mine is Cake Crazy. Started up in January of this year. Little did I know I would be just that. I do about 12 cakes a week. I wanted a name with 2 C's in it. My logo is pink , and my car sirns are hot pink and my cake boxes are hot pink. My kindergartener calls me "the crazy cake lady". Which most weeks I am. I had 2 root canals done this morning, and I have 8 cakes to get out by Saturday. Lucky me!!
Although I don't have a business yet, I do have a name picked out - Cupcake's Creations. I got the nickname cupcake one year because we gave each other "biker" names at work. It was a bike to work week city thing. They guys gave me the name Cupcake, and it stuck because of my boss's kids now call me that rather than my real name.
