Final Outcome:  I ended up using the flour plant to incorporate in the “J” of Janet, still having a common theme of cake that I thought was needed to still be similar to Janet's original mark. While still adding different aspects such as a drip line of frosting separating the typefaces and creating the idea of the words being two layers of cake with a single straw of flour placed on the side of the cake's décor. The comma as a icing drip.
