I need some names...

So I'm trying to figure out what to call these cakes of mine.

The pumpkin cake--I'm thinking "Plymouth Rock Cake," since my theme is that it uses four foods that were only known to Europeans when they arrived at America: pumpkin, pecans, cranberries and maple syrup. Any other ideas on that one?

And as for the raspberry cake...it's for Valentine's Day, so the boring entry would be "Raspberry Valentine's Cake." Or you could go with alliteration: "Raspberry Romance Cake." Seems a bit cheesy, but cheesy is sometimes good in these things. How about heading a little retro, to the flower children: "Raspberry Love." Hmm..."Raspberry Passion." I'd like some feedback, if you don't mind.

And I think the Guinness cake will be just this: Guinness Irish Cream Cake. Easy enough.

Hey! It's hard to name a cake without tasting it ...

Ooh - I like Scott's submissions...

The Great Pumpkin (conjures up fun Charlie Brown childhood memories)

&

Raspberry Bouquet (I think of sweet, aromatic flavor that's light as air - mmm, may I have some more please???)

Raspberry Bouquet Cake does have a nice ring to it...

Scott's a genius.

Paul,

You could make a stinking request.

I fear my cake may now contain coal.
