I am just curious as to some of the names that people have for their decorating business. What is your and how did you come up with it?

I chose mine because my favourite colour is orange, I am British and I wanted something "food" related. I actually don't like marmalade at all...which is ironic! 
The names "Clementine" and "Tangerine" were actually already registered in our city for a clothing shop and a new restaurant...so I chose "Marmalade". The name was ALSO chosen by another clothing store and a cafe at about the same time, so I made it "Marmalade Cake Company" to be more specific. |

Mine is SugarBelle's. I live in the South....so Southern Belle came to mind...cakes are sweet....sweet=sugar...so SugarBelle's. My slogan is: The Sweetest Things In The South. A lot of CC members helped me come up with the name. It's amazing what a help everyone here can be! I may change the slogan to something that says I do cakes, more specifically...but I'm trying cookies too, for Valentine's day, so I don't know...we'll see |

mine is boring. my business name is "Home Creations BY Melody and my last name." when i first started my business i did a few pies, a few cookies and pumkin rolls but also homemade candles and i tried my hand at sewing a few things (which werent my thing) anyway, since i did a little bit of this and a little bit of that, i wanted to show that my stuff was homemade.
now that i specialize mainly on cakes and cookies i thought about changing my name to something with the word sugar in it...but people are getting to know me by "Home Creations" so i may be stuck.

Your CC name might could be incorporated into your business name. I really like the sound of "melodyscakes"!  Oh yeah, you could run a "my business name has changed sale". Who knows, if you keep the same phone #, all your original customers will still be able to call in more orders & you just might get new customers! Is there a bazaar or something coming up soon??? 
You know, where I live, when you go to get a business license you're charged fee if your business name doesn't have at least part of your personal name in it. At least, that's what they told my brother when he went to apply for a business license. |

I use "Theme Cakes by Traci and Kasey." That is the name I use in my ad. I have Theme Cakes by Traci on my website. Kasey is my daughter and she was my inspiration for making cakes so I wanted to include her name too. She tells all her friends that she is my partner!  |

Ours is "DAZZLING CAKES", my husband is the cake decorator and his name is "Daryl", here is Australia the name is often shortened to Dazza, we originally thought of Dazzas dazzling cakes but that was a mouthful and there was someone registered with the name Dazzling dazza so it was just too close so we settled on DAZZLING CAKES and it has really grown on us and we love it now. |

Mine is "Torts and Tarts"
Its a cheesy play on words since I'm in lawschool and a tort is a legal term...and also a cake. Same with a Tart...well, sort of. |

Mine is "It's Your Day" ... I picked up a greeting card one day that had a mouse & a cake, with those words on the front cover, and it just spoke to me! It's also generic enough to accomodate some of my other hobbies if I decide to expand on them (sewing, sculpting in Polymer clay, calligraphy, etc)
I really have to completely re-write my web sit now that I know just a little bit more about web design, and I'm not happy with the logo, but that's okay... it's a workin progress! |

Mine is Euphoria Bakery. My husband actually came up with it. We wanted something that sounded professional. But I actually sell mostly baked goods and am just getting into serious decorating. It is sooo much fun! |

I don't publicize the name much, but I've had a trademark on the name for the last 2 years.
"Day Off Confections" started when I was making well, confections on my "day off" from my regular job. It made sense to me, so it stuck. Without going into a long story about the significance of the logo and such, that's pretty much the synopsis. I may even get to finish the website oneday, it's been sitting idle for 7 months now, with just the logo on the main page. |
