The long awaited question..."Which name did you decide on???" is finally here!
La Marie's Confections!
When Lindsay Marie and I decided that we wanted to truly do this - start a business - we knew what we wanted to do. I adore decorating cookies and getting to use the creative portion of my brain. She adores making couture cupcakes. Viola! "Hey, do you really want to do this?" The question that started it all.
The ball started rolling fast. Our first big obstacle? What will we call ourselves? We brainstormed for a week or so - writing out random words, random phrases, names of cooking related items...anything we could think of that would help. I mean what other list will you find the words, "luscious", "flour", "flippin' sweet", and "oven" all on the same page??? See below - that was the beginning of it all. A couple of legal pads, a lot of words, and a lot of creativity on our parts (oh, and a bottle of Asti to celebrate!).
We decided to ask our friends and family what they preferred once we narrowed it down to about 10 different possibilities. The results were mixed. I guess we had hoped for an overwhelming response? No such luck. After more deliberation we finally went with La Marie's Confections. We liked that from the get go. L = Lindsay, a = April, and our middle names together = Marie's. And there you have it! We have a name so now what??
Now it's time for the work. A lot of meetings, a lot of delegating, and a lot of planning. Stay tuned to see what we have in store!!!
