If you’re looking for a wedding cake
with a difference, opt out of the icing and brave the naked cake. What they
lack in frosting, they make up for with their charming raw appeal and
scrumptious fillings. These unfrosted
delights are a must for any wedding, and a perfect alternative if
you’re not a lover of icing (like me).
Whether you prefer a traditional bake, a
creative design or something just to wow your guests, there is a naked cake for
everyone. Big or small, chocolate or lemon, fruit or flowers; the decorations, flavours,
sizes and shapes are limitless.
Here at Bridefully Stylish we have found the five best naked cakes to capture your
imagination and tantalise your taste buds. They are not only guaranteed to make
a visual statement, but a delicious one too.
Fancy Florals
Flowers and naked cakes go hand in hand,
and nothing looks more beautiful than a cascading floral effect. Place fresh
flowers on top of the cake, or arrange carefully between the layers.

Berrylicious
Who doesn’t love fresh fruit? Mixed with
cake, it’s the perfect combination. Lavishly adorn berries, or place them
between each layer to make your cake taste as good as it looks. A dusting of
icing sugar gives a dreamy rustic effect, perfect for an outdoor wedding.
If flowers and fruit aren’t for you,
naked cakes look just as good stripped back as they do decorated. Intricate patterns
on the edge of the icing look understated, yet eye-catching. For a simple touch
of elegance add a personalised cake topper. We love this simplistic idea of the
bride and grooms initials.

Ombré
Ombré is no longer a trend just for your hair, and is now popular in the
world of wedding cakes. Pick a colour that matches your theme and create a
spectrum of shades with your sponge, for the most stylish naked cake around.

Luxury
If you want to make a glamorous
statement a luxury naked cake is for you! Contrast dark chocolate sponges with metallic
shades for a regal touch. If a more artistic feel is what you fancy, drizzle
icing over the sponge. I love the golden popcorn below; it adds a chic modern
twist.
