100 Whimsical Bakery Names Worth Getting Up at 4am For
Your bakery name goes on a paper bag, a chalkboard and eventually a van. It gets shouted across a counter on a Saturday morning by somebody who heard it once.
So it isn’t a logo decision. It’s a saying-it-out-loud decision.
Here are 100, sorted by style, from cozy right through to properly witchy.
(Take whichever one you can already picture on the bag.)
How to Choose a Whimsical Bakery Name
Three tests. Run your shortlist through all of them.
The counter test. Somebody says your name out loud to a friend, once, over the noise of a coffee machine. Can that friend spell it into Instagram search that afternoon? If they can’t, they can’t find you. Nothing else about the name matters as much as this.
The five year test. Plenty of bakers named themselves after cupcakes in year one, then spent year four explaining that they do sourdough and wedding cakes too. Name what you want to be baking, not what’s in the case today.
The overlap test. Don’t put a word in your name that you’ll want in your slogan. Your name and your slogan get read together, so don’t let them say the same thing twice. Example: If your name is Sugarspell, “spell” is spent. A slogan about magic underneath it just says it again, louder. Let the name claim the theme and give the slogan a different job, like what it’s actually like to walk in.
Now go and pick one.
If you plan on having a website or blog, first check your name is available.
