So my baking hobby/side business has been picking up the past several weeks. I've already got 3 pre-orders for the weekend of Valentine's Day, and I haven't advertised any specials yet. Which leads me to some questions: do I want to do this seriously? full time? officially? and if so, I really need a name.
One of the doctors I work with found a place he thought would be perfect for me to rent. It's not far from my hospital and it's across the street from a middle school. He said he even had the perfect name for me: Cecily's Oven. Ahem. I don't think I'll go with that.
All joking aside, I really, really, really need a name. A few months ago I thought about "Just Desserts by Cecily," and even had some labels printed, but it's too long. I'm not that crazy about it anymore. My Williams-Sonoma embosser says "with love from Cecily's Kitchen." That's fine for taking something to friends, but is "Cecily's Kitchen" the brand I want? I just haven't had an epiphany, so I need help. What should my business be called? Although I do a lot of cupcakes, I don't want to be limited to that as I'm making cakes, pastries, and cookie cakes, as well.
So give me your best shot. Please. It might be worth some baked goods for you.

Why not do something that plays off of nursing or medicine or something (along the lines of your blog name, The Baking Nurse)?
ReplyDeleteMy brain is completely dead right now (our house offer just got accepted!), so I can't think of anything but there's got to be an idiom somewhere that combines medicine/health/nursing and food.
I'm brainstorming here .... maybe somebody else has some ideas.
just what the doctor ordered
taste of one's own medicine (no, that's negative)
an apple a day (no, not really what you do)
Or ... what about some of your blog post titles?
