Tag, you’re it!
September 21, 2009 at 8:57 PM | Posted in contest, cupcakes | 49 Comments
Yup, I’m finally doing it. Finally getting off my butt and getting serious.
Right now I’m small scale. I bake for me. I bake for my blog. I bake for Hubs’ coworkers. I bake for friends, family, friends of friends on the side for extra money here and there but I’m ready to take it to the next level. I’m in the process of creating a business model to get this party started! Life’s too short to work a 9-5 and hate your job. I want to wake up every morning and enjoy what I do every day. Is that too much to ask?
I know what you’re all thinking. “In this economy, you’re lucky to have a job, CB. But am I? Am I really? Ok maybe I am lucky, yes. But happy? No. That is the more important question IMO.
But I need some help. Will you help me?
I need a hook.
I need an eyecatcher.
Something that pulls people in and keeps them coming back.
I need a tagline… for my cupcake business.
Hey come back! Where you going?
Ok ok. I’ll even make it worth your while.
Leave a comment with your tagline and don’t forget an email. Enter as many times as you want. If I pick yours, I’ll send you a little-something-something courtesy of Natalie Dee to say THANKS! (International welcome!) It comes in medium or large. And trust me when I tell you that you will get some looks, giggles and “Where did you get that awesome tshirt?” whenever you wear it.
But you know I can’t make it “that” easy right? Hey! The one that has the prizes makes up the rules. HA! I need the tagline to be 3-5 words max. Short and sweet. Like me.
I’ll even get you started.
“Cupcakes are cool.” <~ That's my husband's contribution.
See why I need help?
UPDATED: Thank you everyone for your tagline suggestions! I’m told that a business name/tagline is like finding a wedding dress. You’ll just know. Keep ‘em coming!

Comment by Monica Lim— September 21, 2009 #
Because I’m SO wildly creative…what about “Short and Sweet” (like you said above)? Cupcakes ARE short and sweet, and it’s a pretty easy, catchy phrase.
Good luck!
Comment by Tanya— September 22, 2009 #
I totally understand how you feel ! I have the same project… but I live in France so it’s much more complicated. You live in the US so you’re right to create you dream job, good luck and here are some ideas, names and catch up phrases :
- everyone need cupcakes
- eat me, you deserve it !
- the icing on the cup-cake
- sprinkle your life with a cupcake
- free your mind : eat a cupcake
You need help ? So do I ! :o)
Comment by Maybe— September 22, 2009 #
Hey Maybe, maybe we should put our heads together and open the same place in our respective cities – the first chain cupcake in France! I’ve been meaning to do a biz plan for ages and just never find the time!
Clara, you go for it! Here’s a few ideas. Was thinking of how these would sound immediately after the words “IHeartCuppycakes…..”
-Spread the Love
-You’ll Heart Them Too
-The Cupcake Made with Love
-Have a Heart
-Taste the Love
-The Cupcake with Heart
Hope you will keep us posted of your progress. One of these days I will be right behind you!
Best,
Cat

Cupcakes?? Yes…cupcakes.
Comment by Jessica— September 22, 2009 #
CB-
CONGRATS!!
Tag lines is what I do for my 9-5. In order to have a really good tag line, I need to know:
1. Are you going with I *heart* cuppycakes as your shop name?
2. What is your product positioning? (i.e. what is setting you apart from the competition?)
3. What do you want your brand exiperence to be for your customer? In other words, what’s your ultimate goal for your customer?
Comment by Lindsey— September 22, 2009 #
1. Simply Delicious
2. Simply Scrumptious
3. Small Size, Amazing Taste
4. Bites of Bliss
5. Peace, Love & Cupcakes
6. Peace + Love + Cupcakes = Heaven
Comment by Maryann— September 22, 2009 #
1. Cake in a cup, what luck.
2. The cupcake way of life.

Cupcake or NO cake!
Comment by Ronda— September 22, 2009 #
Congratulations on taking this first big step! Life is short, you must do what makes you happy!
Life Is Short, Eat Cupcakes
Deliciously Addictive
Cupcakes Bring Joy/Laughter/Smiles (whatever you like best)
If Life Throws You Lemons, Make Cupcakes
It’s Like A Party In A Cup
A Party In A Cup
Love, One Cupcake At A Time
Expect the Unexpected (this seems fitting for your interesting collection of cupcakes! I love this one)
Alcohol+Cake = I*Heart*Cuppycakes (this is my favorite, but it only works, of course, if that is your business name…and if you don’t mind people thinking you’re a lush) ;)
Comment by Krista S— September 22, 2009 #
I am not great at tag lines either, but here are a few that came to mind:

Go ahead, you know you want a cupcake
Cupcakes – a bite of pure bliss
Hello, cupcake!
You deserve a treat today
An adventure in cupcakes
Wishing you every success with your new business.

Cupcakes; your therapist’s therapist.
Comment by Shelby— October 1, 2009 #
Nice to hear you’re making your business(:. I hope all goes well.
Umm, how about:
1) A piece of (cup?)cake.
2) Cake it easy.
3) Where one cupcake’s never enough.
4) A slice of life.
5) I cake you.
Okay, they’re not very good, ah well(:

How about:
Clara Cakes
Clara’s Cakes
Clara’s Cupcakes
you get the idea…
This one is pure corniness:
Cupcakes: the final frontier
Comment by Jen— October 18, 2009 #
Well, I am super late on this, and I dont know if you chose one yet, but I like taglines with periods… Like:
“Live. Love. Bake.”
Or maybe something cute like:
“Yum in the tum.”
or
“For the love of cuppies”
Good luck, and congrats!
