Wedding Trends: Naked Wedding Cakes

August 8, 2016

Instead of frosting a wedding cake with layers of fondant or buttercream, many bakers are increasing the filling between tiers and leaving the layers exposed. This naked look has quickly become popular with its refined style and completely elevated look.

With just as many ways to customize these cakes as their fully-frosted counterparts, you’ll be able to work with your baker to achieve a custom look that reflects your wedding’s style. This three-tier mille-crepe cake by Lady M Confections was decorated with bright pink and purple flowers, coordinating with the wedding’s fun and whimsical feel.

The saying “great things come in small packages” could not be any more relevant to this single tiered naked cake filled with fresh fruit created by Stephanie Nagle of Whisk and Crumb. How adorable!

If you and your significant other are chocolate and beer lovers, this chocolate-stout dessert is perfect for you two! It’s filled with butercream, drizzled with caramel and chocolate ganache, and topped with pecans…yum!
