Naming A Gluten Free Baked Goods Business

Hello,

Being fed up of having to pay through the nose for Gluten free ready made yummy baked things, I've decided to set up my own small business making affordable versions. Of course I have to start very small and local, due to having no money, but what I am most having trouble with is the name!

Is it important to have that the food is 'safe' or 'pure' in the name?

Such as:

Safe Bakes

Pure Bakes

Gluten free Flour Garden ;p

I also thought of:

Let You Eat Cake

Innocent Bakery

Bake Free/I Want to Bake free

Bake Care

Free Cake/Free Bakes

and last but not least; Baked With Loaf. ;p

Does anyone have a favourite? :)

Thanks,

Fenifur

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. :) Lemonade stand? :D

If you put the words " gluten free" in the name, when people googled, it would come up. Also, if someone drove by, they would call me & say " a gluten-free bakery opened by my office!".

I don't think "pure" or "safe" will do it. It's a bit like saying it's "organic" - doesn't mean much to a gluten free-er.

My locally gluten free bakeries are called "Totally Gluten Free Bakery" and in Reno, "Haven of Bread". You could try for something like Simply Gluten Free, The Gluten Free Loaf (and Other Goodies), or even Baked with Gluten Free 'Flowers'. I think of all your ideas I like Gluten Free Flour Garden. :)

I do to . . . because I'm thinking ahead to a logo with flowers in it or some sort of flower arrangement looking thing that uses baked goods instead of flowers . . . or something like that.

I know a name can help to initially attract people and is extremely important. There are two semi-local gluten free bakeries near me. One is "New Grains Gluten Free Bakery" and they sell bread and some baked goodies in many local grocery stores with only "New Grains" standing out on the labels. The other is "Eleanor's Bakeshop" which obviously gives no clue they are gluten free.

Maybe I'm weird but I don't put much faith in a company based on their name. While it may initially attract my attention it certainly won't make me a customer. I think with time you'll find that word of mouth about how awesome your goodies are is much better for you than a name that points out you are gluten free.

On an unrelated note, make sure to get a website and if it takes you all day every day for a few weeks, get to know some SEO unless you have someone who can do that for you. I find few things are as powerful as the almighty Google to help you get found.

The name that caught my attention was Gluten Free Flour Garden. If someone is looking for gluten free..most of the other names wouldn't catch their attention?

Without the mention of gluten free, I personally would just drive right on by rather than come in and possibly come in contact with unsafe airborn flours that could harm me. :o

I also like the fact that your bakery's name would come up in a Google search. :D

I also like gluten free flour garden. As someone who works in marketing, I can see a lot of potential in that. You could even branch out into gluten free cookie bouquets.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
