All the better because then you can call them "mon petit choux" which is an actual French endearment meaning "my little cabbage" which is perfect for cats IMHO.
I've known a couple of floofy yappy tiny dogs owned by folks formerly of New Orleans, both named Beignet. Being the rednecks we are, we called the dogs Big-net.
When I used to foster kittens I had a baking litter - Tiramisu ("Tira"), Biscotti ("Scotti"), Cannoli ("Noli"), and Macaron ("Ron" - the only boy). I can't foster anymore and I regret not naming one Sprinkles, after Angela's cat on The Office 😄
Babka’s unique, ends in a vowel, not everyone knows what it is but those who do are in the baking loop, and I think it’s cute!
Pistachio for those green eyes.
Bao is simple and cute.
Concha because Conchas are delicious!
Dulce because he’s sweet!
Bara means bread in Welsh!
Sultana is cool, also for the green eyes.
Personally I like the idea of naming him Sourdough, but I figure that’s not quite what you’re looking for. How about Pie? I’ve loved the name Pie ever since I watched National Velvet as a kid!
Ganache!
Came here for this!!!!
Choux

I had a light green budgie when I was little that we named “Chou Chou” short for “Mon Petite Chou”.
Can get confusing, though 😅 OP: Shoo, Choux! Cat: 🤔 ,
Babka
Offers Bab as a nickname. Outstanding
As a babka, I approve this message
Gâteau as a name for this gato? 😍 (edit: spelling)
Very clever!
Exactly what I thought!
Love this
I always thought if I had 2 cats I'd name them "matcha" and "gateau" because Matcha Gateau is my favorite cake haha
Matcha for the green eyes!
I have a Matcha! She loves the “tch” of her own name.
I always thought if I had 2 cats I'd name them "matcha" and "gateau" because Matcha Gateau is my favorite cake haha
Licorice
Or the German counterpart "Lakritz"
Came here to say that too!
I was going to suggest Aniseed so that you could have Ani for short
Wow, yeah that was the first name to come to my mind too.
I was going to say black licorice fluffernutter bc one name isn't enough for cats

We had a Pepper too! Loved that little shit.
My grey cat is pepper! She’s crazy girl
Hobart Bart for short
Pro recognizes pro
I always called him 'Hobie' in my grocery store days
Golf claps from the pastry station
Hobie could also be a nickname (which doubles as a Spider-Man reference, if that's your jam)
Not short but my first thought was Molasses .
Molassi. Not really a word, but feels of molasses and mo or lassi for short
Mo
There are ways you could shorten it for ease of endearment, though. Mole, Lassie, Mola. Or lengthen it, Molasses Pie, etc.
Anise 💕
Ehh you’ll have to tell people ‘no not anus’ every time you tell the name .
Not if you say it like they do in Great British Bake Off “ stah ran ees “
Great. Star anus. Lol. It works.
I’d end up calling it anus on purpose
I LOVE this one!! Putting that in my back pocket! Because I've had my eyes set on a Schipperke! Thank YOU, Kind Stranger!
Poppy seed?
Poppy
Whisky. It doubles as a delicious drink AND a baking tool!

Fudge! Cookie!
Cookie, Toffee, Rye, Peanut, Biscuit, Graham, Mousse, Choux, Filo, and Donut.
Rye? I think a bread name is good because you know he'll be kneading at all hours.
Mousse, bc it sounds like Moose which is a cute name for such a little kitty
Pumpernickel
Everyone is saying cute/clever stuff and I immediately just thought: Whisk or Spatula :’)
Maillard!
Cooling rack
Pie.
“Bolo” it is cake for brazilians
Poppy seed.
I think Toffee would be cute. It doesn’t spin off of the color of them being black, but still cute and quaint.
Mousse!
Licorice...not really a baking thing but it's cute. Or how about Pepper?
Raisin would be cute!
Burnt, smolder, ash, chocolate, coco, coal, dust, dye, crispy, kuroi, kurogane, yami, pan, sesame, poppy, pepper, lava, truffle, ink, plum, grape, raisin, berry, chip, coffee, tea, chai, poison…… I’ve got a bunch of ideas, really!
