I am feeling like an absolute idiot. After announcing in my previous post that my bakery will be called Crumb with one ‘m’, I am thinking maybe I’ll go back to Crummb after all.
Why? Because two friends have reacted with rather loud ‘But why?!!’s (with two exclamation marks). So I explained to them that it is in keeping with my brand new image as purveyor of fine, sophisticated cakes — that a baker who can’t spell is almost as bad as a chef who is skinny.
“But Crummb is cute what,” they said.
My husband Z added fuel to the fire. “They’re right what. Crumb sounds so ordinary and cheap. Crummb has more personality.”
Oh good grief. I am having a bigger identity crisis than Lady Gaga. Lucky I haven’t printed out the business cards yet.
So I have decided to ask you, whoever is reading out there, to vote. Look at these 6 cakes I’ve made for my website portfolio, and tell me which is more appropriate to my style: Crumb or Crummb?
Help me out, guys. I, as always, aim to please 🙂
Crummb 
crummb! its more unique that way, and it goes with your blog address! i love your cakes btw 😀
cruMMb!!
It has more personality. It’s different, it’s sophisticated, it’s cute, and it’s you! 🙂
I did a google on yahoo.com.sg on Crummb- The first 5 entries are all about you! Crumb however, brings me to everything else but you, or baking!
Crummb!
Okay.. to tell u the truth… I like Crummb better.. the watermark on your photos look prettier with Crummb too!
Yummy, mummy.. Double mm does seem better !! I too vote for crummb and come to think of it, u have already created a brand for yourself with the name crummb !! Next time when u venture into recipe books, stick to crummb too !
The first cake is beautiful! Crummb has more character I think…
crummb. i don’t think your discerning clients will think less of you just cos you are original and fun.
crummb 🙂
Hi, I’m an avid reader of ur blog and I think crummb is better. =)
by the way, i’d like to order a cake from u. may need it by 2 weeks’ time? cld you pl email me details/pricing? i don’t need a 2 layer cake… jus a normal square 1 layer cake will do…
crummb!!!! My vote goes to 1st cake 🙂
Crummb! and my vote goes for the 1st cake, too.
when i saw the 1st cake, when i open my mail, i went ‘WoW’…
Crummb! The double m reminds me of “mm….” sound we make when we bite into ur yummies. Haha. I am such a glutton.
Double “m” is more you,babe.
Crummb! You can close the voting now.. results are pretty clear!
Ay, Crummb ba!
My vote goes to Crummb too! Simply becos you’re unique in your own style so shld the name too!
Crummb! sounds more yummy somehow, and please, the first cake is TOoooooooo pretty to be eaten!
A double is always better!
Cake black-lo1 is definitely Crummb!
Sicuramente penso che si dovrebbe nome Crummb!
Crummb is definitely better.
Customers who look at your blog and writing will instantly know you have impeccable spelling and grammar, so no one in the right mind will consider Crummb a spelling mistake.
Besides, it’s more catchy somehow.
Now we only have to find an official name for us, your fans – crummbheads? Crummberbunds? Crummbots? Crummbernickels?
Crummb for me too ! Noone will think there is a typo and if there is, you can say: it’s for mmmm as Vivian mentioned.
Also my favourite is the first cake, for the beauty of it and of the photograph too.
definitely crummb!
double ‘m’ darling!
(just so editors can give their sub-editors hell for not getting the name right).
Crummb! It’s has more personality to it and your creations will define how people see the name not the other way around.
Crummb or forgeddit .
😉
you know who i am ah bow lin.
xx
Crumb. WHO AM I KIDDING????!! Thought I’d throw in 1 ridiculous vote for single m just to make everyone laugh.
Crummb is unique. Crummb is cute. Crummb is a clever twist. Crummb is you. When I first saw the way you spelled it, I fell in love with it!
I forgot to say, those are really gorgeous cakes!!!! Sure got business coming your way! You’ve got class man!
New reader! Crummb takes the cake. Names are not meant to spelt right anyway, yeah?
As for the lovely wedding cakes you’re selecting for your portfolio… I’ve been poring through your posts. If I had to vote, #1 Blue and #3 White tiered wedding cakes look really you.
If I had found you earlier, I would have asked you to make my wedding cake last year!
i vote for “Crummb”. it is cuter and easy to recall.
Crummb = crumb + mmmmmm
I prefer Crummb! Just to let you know, if you need any help with your business card design, let me know! I’m a designer 🙂
I Cant believe i have missed soooooo many posts.. and i’m too late to vote.. not that my vote would have changed the tide.. but i want to add my two cents to the mix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i like ‘Crumb’, for its simple and chic branding but seems like I’m outnumbered!
Anyway, I’m looking for someone to bake a fondant cake for the 8th Jan 2011, would be lovely if you could please contact me.
Hi there! Your cakes are fabulous! I need a wedding cake for my upcoming nuptials in Nov! Could you send me your portfolio and other details?
