Vegan Bakery Name Ideas.

[ViveVegan]

Hey everyone,
Im looking to begin selling baked good from my home (and possibly icecream) online and to stores, until I'm old enough to actually have a shop. So I know I need to pass health inspections and yada, yada, yada but what I'm really stumped on is naming it! I can't think of anything cute to use so I figured coming on here for some ideas would be my best bet.
I appericate every response since right now all I've got is 'The vegan bakery'

Thanks!
-Emily

How about "Sweegan"?

It's sweet vegan....Yeah it's crap...

[horselesspaul]

Oven It Large

Perhaps more suited to a Lahndahhn bakery to be honest.

[angelamc]

My advice is to get out the Thesaurus!!
You could also try incorporating the name of your favorite animal or pet, or some words like freedom or santcuary, something that alludes to it being cruelty free.
Great idea, though, and good luck!

[Knottykc]

Wow great idea! Good luck with that. Pity there aren't any around this way...

What about -
'Fakery'
'Vegan bake n cake'
'Sweet Vegan'
'Vegan Pie'

Hmm I'll keep thinking....

Bakery Without Cruelty

B.A.S.E

Stands for Bakery and Sweets Evolution

[Cumin]

What about "The Compassionate Oven"
or "The Lovin' Oven"

[bryzee86]

or "Ovenobull"

i.e. Ovenable = Oven No Bull

Ah never mind...

[Sluggie]

That sounds like fun. Good luck with it. Here's some ideas of the top of my head:

Sunflower Bakery
Heavenly Cakes
Emily's Vegan Bakery
The Little Vegan Bakery
The Garden Bakery
Scrumdiddlyumptious
Cakelicious
Whole Earth Bakery

[bryzee86]

How about To-fruity?

[JC]

soyalicious?
the vegan cupcake co.?
decadently vegan?

[bryzee86]

Devilish Desserts and Seitanic Cakes?

[Risker]

To be honest I'd avoid using the word vegan in it, it's silly but I think the word can put off some non-vegans.

[Healthy]

Out of all the ones here, I really love what Cumin said: "The Lovin' Oven" -- it's clever, catchy, and doesn't alienate non-vegans.

[bryzee86]

Yeah I really like that one too. I suggest a poll. collate all the ideas and leave your fate to the members

[harpy]

I liked The Lovin' Oven very much as well.

Based on some experience of marketing (not cakes unfortunately!) I'd say that before picking a name it's important to think about who you're planning to sell to and how. If for example you think you're going to sell on the basis that your stuff is healthy, then you might want to work the word "health" into the name somehow (although I suppose you would have to be careful not to fall foul of any laws on misrepresentation). If you mainly want to sell to vegans then putting "vegan" in the name would obviously be OK but you might be limiting your market.

One reason the Lovin' Oven is so good though is that it's fairly neutral and could carry a number of different messages.

[bryzee86]

Yeah as risker and harpy said neutrality is important. you could always say "healthy" if they are healthy, and vegan if they are vegan (well, they are) in the site and product descriptions.

[eco]

If there was a poll I'd vote for 'The Lovin' Oven', it's very memorable.

[harpy]

Only trouble is you might get into trouble with these people who are also in Long Island:

[bryzee86]

stupid omni bakers!

[yum]

The lovin' oven reminds me of pregnancy...you have a bun in the oven- your lovin' oven!

[Knottykc]

Not sure why but lovin oven has dubious conotations for me.

Ok if we are avoiding vegan in the title....

Yumyum
Just the one...
Treat tastic
Sweet Treats
Good taste

[Risker]

Not sure why but lovin oven has dubious conotations for me.

I really like the name but I have to say I agree

[Cumin]

Only trouble is you might get into trouble with these people who are also in Long Island:

Damn... I didn't copy it honest !!

[harpy]

Yes, v annoying especially when we have a much better case for using it!

[ViveVegan]

Ah so many replies thank you so much!
I LOVED all of them, and I was esp. keen on the Lovin' Oven there Cumin.
Like really, so cute. Its a shame theres some silly omni bakery with it already and with my luck its located where I live : Long Island Hmm, I wonder if I could be able to copy it?
I'm considering all of the names and I appreciate all the tips I'm getting from you guys. This is my (peculiar but possibly effective) dream to have a organic vegan bakery so I'm finding your thoughts/ideas helpful.

[Sluggie]

I was going to suggest "Sticky Fingers", but did a Google search for it and there is already a vegan baked goods shop by that name. Same goes for "Baby Cakes".

Vegans have all the best ideas.

[shellymi2nv]

I really don't care what you name it as long as you take mail orders!

I'm dying for some vegan pastry/cake products out here in the dry desert wasteland of Las Vegas

<<THE HAPPY COB>>

it's genius! it's sassy! it's catchy!it's relevent!

okay..i know its a bit crap..sorry..

[ALexiconofLove]

My imaginary vegan bakery is called "Hearth and Heart." We make yummy breads in addition to sweets. In my head.

[Roxy]

Kind of boring....but how about "The Happy Baker"

Argh! Nope - I just googled it and someone else already has it.

Did someone else already mention "The Compassionate Kitchen". If not, I'll mention it lol.

[Risker]

Wheaty Eaties

[Roxy]

LOL Sounds like a breakfast cereal.

Out of all the ones here, I really love what Cumin said: "The Lovin' Oven" -- it's clever, catchy, and doesn't alienate non-vegans.

I like Cumin's suggestion very much as well. It's a shame it already exists.

Here are some other ideas:

* Lovin' from the Oven

* WM & B (Wake, Make, & Bake)

I'm not full of ideas at the moment.

[Roxy]

* Lovin' from the Oven

* WM & B (Wake, Make, & Bake)

Oh - I like that one too!

Would you like a cup of tea and some Lovin From the Oven?

[angelamc]

I would've voted for The Lovin Oven. What about something with the words "Long Island" it?
Crafty Cakes
Peace & "_______"?
Loving Loaves (terrible, I know)
Or maybe try naming it after one of your signature recipes?
There were a lot of good ideas on this thread, by the way!
Do you have any signature dishes yet?

[emmapresley]

happy crafty cakey cobs....?

peace & happy cobs...??

lovin' happy loafy cobs..??!

no?

[ViveVegan]

Lol oh my god everyone has such cute ideas! Here I thought I had none now I have a bunch to pick from
Thank you very much.
I don't have any signature recipes, I pretty much do all the basic baked goods so any of these would definately work for me. I'm at school right now so I can't respond to every idea but I will once I get home since I think they all deserve serious consideration <3

[vegcurry]

off the top of me head and probably naff...

B.L.T (Bakin'LovleyTastes)
Rise Up
Yeast On The East

[ALexiconofLove]

Rise Up!

[Cherry]

Sounds a bit pornographic

That sounds like fun. Good luck with it. Here's some ideas of the top of my head:

Sunflower Bakery
Heavenly Cakes
Emily's Vegan Bakery
The Little Vegan Bakery
The Garden Bakery
Scrumdiddlyumptious
Cakelicious
Whole Earth Bakery

I really like Sluggie's ideas. People have said, 'vegan' might put people off, but you need some reference to whole foods or nature so veggies and vegans know it'll have vegan stuff

[bryzee86]

happy crafty cakey cobs....?

peace & happy cobs...??

lovin' happy loafy cobs..??!

no?

Let me guess...You love the word cob?

[ALexiconofLove]

Sounds a bit pornographic

Ha! I was thinking it sounded revolutionary.

[emmapresley]

Let me guess...You love the word cob?

i dream of one glorious day when i will be able to purchase baked stuff from a shop with the word 'cob' in the title..

it's aurally pleasing

[bryzee86]

it may be but, like barm, people elsewhere have never heard of it! They think I'm Mental when I say barm!

[emmapresley]

cos they associate it with barm-y

i've had this conversation with a mancunian before.

<<the happy barm >>

hrmm..nupnup it's not working for me

[ALexiconofLove]

Come on, guys... Vegcurry is onto something here.

"Rise Up! Sweets for the people."
"Rise Up! Making sweet treats that REFUSE to be beat."
"Rise Up! And Eat Sweet."
"Fold In, Rise Up!"
"Lovers, Givers, Eaters... Rise Up!"

[vegcurry]

Don't forget 'batches'. The first time I asked for those in Leicester they'd no idea what I was on about, so I pointed at what I wanted. They said 'Cobs'. I said 'That's a male swan. I want some batches.' Eventually we got there in the end.

[Est]

Not to go too O/T but what's a barm?

Vive - I'm useless at thinking of names for things, but I think this is a fantastic idea and want to wish you the best of luck
