The Cupcake Confederacy.

I would love to go to any food place with nomnom in the title

If his state was coonfederate then sure, though with that name expect hostility.

The Mason Jar?

Get Caked lol

Or name it after both her fave food and yours... Like brownies and turnovers or whatever

I like Pink Velvet. It sounds classy and memorable, as people will know they can get pink velvet cake from Pink Velvet.

I despise the NomNom meme, so that's automatically out in my mind. If you like the skulls, why not call it what they really are? Calavera Masks. Or just Calavera Confectionary/ies. Obviously, 'calavera' is 'skull' in Spanish, but still.

My friend and I were discussing a while back about why no one ever likes the bottoms of muffins. That's when he suggested we should start a muffin/cupcake bakery called 'Just the Tops!".

I told him it sounded like the name of a strip club.

You dig us baby, we're the tops.

NomNom Cupcakery has that ring to it...

Bone Muffins. It sound friendly for the whole family.

NomNom is my top choice by far.

OP, your wife's a red-head, right?

Although it has fallen from the parlance of our times, describing someone as 'Titian-headed' was an eloquent way of saying someone was a carrot-top. Titian was a famous Ren. painter. You could work that in, I'm sure. Titian's patternless, Titian's desserts, Sweet Lady Titian, etc. Either way, you can market your cakes as works of art (because they are a Titian, after all, am I right?).

That one caused some laughter. I shan't point out why .

Kind of thought the same thing. If you have some person not entirely familiar with online gaming or other geekishness they might think "What the hell is nomnom?". Eventually it'll fall out of fashion too.

Ever thought of something simple and place oriented, like "Coast Cupcakes" or "Beach Bakery"? Oh, and when you get a business address be sure to post it in case any of us are in SoCal and want to sample the goods.

Buns in the Oven and Get Baked are both good.

Watch Wallace and Gromit's 'a Matter of Loaf and Death' for a wealth of bakery-based puns.

I don't care what you name it, just make sure to serve Sweet-rolls.

I second both of these statements. Mmmmm, cupcakes.




Or the plot of an old Seinfeld episode.

For the love of all that is holy, do not call it the NomNom Cupcakery. Shame on all of you for voting for such a name. I mean really. Jeez.

Candy Skull Sweets may not be a wise choice because people will go in expecting you to at least partially specialize in candy skulls. If people go in and just see a bunch of confections but no candy skulls they may get a bit ticked off. You don't want to limit yourself with your name.

People may not agree with me on this but I think you should just forget about using the word pink in the name at all. In our culture pink isn't just an innocent color anymore. No matter how you word it there will be people, especially teens, who will read the title and snicker at the thought of... the sixual thing pink is associated with. Especially with a title like Pink Velvet or Pink Ladies Cakes.

Nomnom Cupcakery has a nice ring to it, but as stated earlier in the thread you have to keep in mind the neighborhood the store will be in. Nomnom Cupcakery would fit in just fine in the hipster culture of San Francisco, or anywhere there's a lot of young people, but it would stick out like a sore thumb (possibly in a bad way) anywhere else. Nomnom Cupcakery, or even just The Cupcakery, isn't a name that screams "professional bakery," and while that'd be fine in, like I said, San Francisco, it definitely wouldn't work everywhere.

As much as I don't like posting a bunch of criticism without also giving suggestions, I'm afraid I'm just not very good at coming up with names. But I really think you need to carefully evaluate the culture of the neighborhood you'll be setting up shop in before deciding on a name.

Nom Nom sounds delicious for some reason BTW I agree with Antibody

you could include a drive-thru. they tend to attract customers that would otherwise not frequent a place, and I don't know of any donut or cupcake shop that has such a thing.
the nonnom choice sounds good, but it is also trendy and trite.
There is more to a name, I take it you are doing some local market / end-user research.

EDIT: ok I guess Dunkin Donuts has a drive-thru.

:clap:

While I think NomNom Cupcakery is UBERAWESOME, so many people wouldn't get it. However, my two cats would since they know that nomnomnom means they're getting fed.

I actually just registered my own domain tonight, Ragdoll Cupcakes. Its got a personal meaning.

honestly all those names really..... aren't that good... try using your last name in the bakery somewhere. Like (just using a random name) Bowman's Bakery. Then come up with a theme from there. Honestly, funny names turn me away from bakeries, and I decide to go to safeway or savemart instead.
