How do I indicate that certain words are a product name (in cases where it's not obvious)?


"Delightful apple cake" is excellent.
Delightful apple cake is excellent.
Delightful apple cake is excellent.
Or, perhaps, a different font, font size, ...


Or maybe just leave it like the rest of the text?

EDIT

Though a general solution to be applied wherever the need arises would be preferable, I am mainly interested in the case of paragraph text on a webpage describing the product. The product name might appear more than once on it.

There is no general answer for this but typically bold, capitalization or even all caps, and a color change would be a good starting point.


We've worked hard to ensure Delightful Apple Cake is the best pre-packaged apple cake available.


Capitalization alone makes it more apparent

Color change I can't do on here natively without posting a screenshot but it can be with bold or without.

Another thing to note is if the product or brand is registered and/or trademarked that can be used as a good indicator as well

A final subtle clue was the inclusion of a lower-case "apple cake" further differentiating one is a name the other is a thing.
