Want to help me name my business?

[lindyanne]

I make cupcakes. I really enjoy making them and people love them. Several people have approached me about buying them for special events and such. In PA, I could legally start a home business but I have pets and that is not allowed. I decided I would make them for people with full disclosure that I was a hobbyist. I cannot find any easily accessible commercial space to rent and that's really not feasible anyway bc I SAH. I am going to donate any profit to charity through a run that my husband does.

He is really set on "the cupcake lady" but the web address is already taken by someone in the UK and I'm afraid it will be limiting if I want to expand to different things in the future. Any ideas?

Probably easiest if you use your name or some sort of cute derivitive of your name. For example around here we have gigi's, ivey cupcake, cowgirl cupcakes, etc.

GL on your venture. I want to start a business of my own, I just can't seem to find my niche.

If I recall correctly, you're not too far from me. In my town, they recently opened a kitchen incubator, where people can rent out commercial kitchen space by the hour. I believe you are closer to a bigger city than me. I would be surprised if that city didn't also have a kitchen incubator.
For me though (I decorate birthday, wedding,etc. Cakes) the kitchen incubatr isn't cost effective at point, as I would pay more than I make to rent it.

As far as name though, maybe Cupcake Dreams?

I think something with your name would work best. Cupcakes by your name. I live in central pa, so if you are nearby, I would love to be a customer!

My name is Melinda. I don't know why but I have no desire to use this. My nn is lindy. Although that's my sn, it's really a personal nn and only my family calls me it. I don't even let DH use it. lol.

sh10 - I'll see if I can PM you. I have no idea if that option is on here.
