[#2333751]

my daughters about to get started on a business making cakes. you know, birthdays, weddings, christenings etc. shes pretty sh*t hot at it even if i do say so meself ๐Ÿ™‚

she was gonna call it 'cherry on the cake' but is now having second thoughts and thinking about 'cakes by kym' or somethings to make it sound more personal.

i know theres some pretty active minds on here, so i told her id ask you lot and see if you can come up with owt better ๐Ÿ™‚

cheers

Looks like she's too late [url= http://www.cherryonthecake.org.uk/ ]Cherry on the cake[/url]

It seems like the whole world and its mother seems to be starting cake making businesses right now.

Gateaux Neuf de Pape

How about something geographical ie where she is? There must be somewhere nice sounding around where she lives or something. I guess she's after local business more than anything, so that might be a start and make people remember a local business rather than a person's name.

She can have that for free too. I admire anyone who wants to strike out on his or her own. Good luck to her.

I presume she's going to have some sort of online presence, even if just a single page with contact details, so I think sharing a name with an identical business isn't a recipe for success regardless of whether she's been given the go-ahead or not.

I don't know about others, but if I could remember a distinctive name and wanted more details I'd google it, but I'd end up with someone elses page top of the list.

My husband's suggested wesellcakes.com - I laughed at him at first but actually it's grown on me now.

some great suggestions here, very clever ๐Ÿ™‚ We like loads of them.

Her signature cake has got cherries on the top, hence her original name and shes asked if anyone could think of building that into the name anywhere possibly?

thanks ๐Ÿ™‚
