Cheesecake shop idea names

One thing I've been thinking about for years would be a name for a Cheesecake shop I hope to open some day. Nothing really hits me.

-Chocolate & Vanilla (combinations you can create & eat)
-Shanna's Cheesecakes (just like mom makes 'em)
-Cheesecakes & Other Things (desert. coffee. smile.)
-Cheesecakes (slices, bite sizes and big hearts)
-Cheesecake's by heart (One size fits all)
-Shan's Cheesecakes (So good you'll ask her to marry you)
-Cheesecake Shop (Stop in and indulge)
-CrEATe (Design your own cheesecake shop)
-CreATE (Cheesecake your way)

Never realized how many stupid ideas I have...guess I won't know what will work until I put them down on paper.


That's what I've got so far. I will be brain storming more ideas & slogans, as well as color schemes and anything else I can think of. I welcome opinions.

:-D

Dream & another cheesecake

I woke up last night with my left leg, toe to hip asleep. It may have been the 500 calorie burning workout and yoga I did earlier, but man was it weird.
I dozed off again and dreamt I got a flat tire on the front right side with Jon in the car with me. A woman then rear ended me and bent the rim of my back right wheel. She apparently just slid it off and hammered it back to normal.
I drove to the nearest auto body shop to get them fixed. Out of nowhere my Mom shows up with a pair of tickets to a Twins game in the 6th row. Amazing!
Jon and I were at the game wandering around. He banked some balcony seats at a restaurant overlooking the stadium and river/lake thingy. It was gorgeous and all I wanted to do was gp explore. It started to drizzle then I woke up.

Now, I just want to go to a Twins game or maybe just get an iced coffee.


Cheesecakes:
I will be making the Dirt Cup Cheesecake for my sister's birthday & Ma's day for Sunday. They are excited to try it!
I'm amazed my family & friends still like to eat them. Does that mean I'm doing something right?

peace

1996 & Cakewalk

Last night was an incredible dream.

I was with a friend of mine and this guy who was 87 looked like he was in his 40s. Very handsome man and I felt wrong to thing he was so attractive at such an old age when I'm only 27. So my friend and I hung out with this guy and he was interesting. He acted like he never grew from the age of 21, very destructive personality.
My friend and I left him, but I still insisted on visiting him.
So I decided to hop on a train. Which took me back to 1996. The lady I bought my ticket from asked for my I.D. In 1996 I was 13 years old. So seeing a 27 year old with an I.D. that said I was 13, the lady made me call my parents for permission to ride the train. So I called my parents, who I guess live in California present time in my dream and go a voicemail of a guy who lived there in 1996. I then called my parents home number of where they lived in 1996 in Mora. Got my mom and she said it was okay for me to travel the train.
I rode the train a few times. The last time I rode it was with Jon. I asked him if he had to get permission to ride the train, and they didn't make him call his parents. I woke up.



This is week is National Library Week.
Today is the cCkewalk and I made two small cheesecake to give away.
So, McNallians, join us for a Cakewalk and win free baked stuff.

Dirt??

MMMMMMM dirt (drool)

So upon request of my wonderful student worker, Darak, I'm going to make a Dirt Cup no bake cheesecake. It's going to be wonderful!!

Oreo cookie crust
Layer of chocolate pudding filling
Layer of Oreo cookie cheesecake filling
Another layer of chocolate pudding filling
Topped with Oreo cookie crumbles and gummy worms

I happily welcome many many more suggestions. Because of the weather reaching to nice levels of vitamin D I would love nice summer ingredients. For instance, green tea or sweet cucumber & cantaloupe (ooh that's new one & sounds lovely!)

A side note...this blog might turn into the 'other things', summer isn't exactly cheesecake season, so I'll try not to bore you and write some of my crazy ass dreams I have daily. :)
