Whilst we look through all the beautiful pictures of weddings and events that grace our Instagram feed, we have noticed a sudden change in tradition. Wedding Cakes have gone commando!
Now if you aren’t sure what I mean by ‘Naked Cake’ it means a cake without any fondant covering.
The classic modern style of a cake covered in simple white fondant, then decorated with themed colours and other beautiful little edible decorations is becoming less and less popular! Couples are turning to a much more rustic and natural cake decoration idea.
Couples can choose how ‘naked’ they want their cake to be as the cake is covered with buttercream instead of fondant icing, showing the sponge cake underneath. The amount of sponge cake to buttercream ratio is something you can decide on. If the sponge cake is only slightly visible, then this is called a semi-naked cake. These are quite popular. You then have the naked cake which can either be covered in a small amount of buttercream creating a frosted layer around the cake, or have a completely naked cake that has no buttercream around the cake at all, only in between. It may sound too boring but when those cake makers get their hands on the flowers, fruit and decoration this cake looks like a masterpiece.
The cake is then decorated in whatever way the customer would like. The use of fruit and flowers in this instance seems to be a bold yet very beautiful choice. It creates a cake that graces the table it stands on with rustic elegance, and although isn’t perfectly finished like a fondant covered cake, it never looks messy, or unfinished, it just works. The decorations added to the cake give it that extra touch like a cherry on top, quite literally!
It’s quite hard to think of a wedding theme where a naked wedding cake wouldn’t fit in. Even in the most modern wedding, the cake can become a main table feature by adding the same flowers as used in the bouquets and centrepieces it still fits in with your theme. This cake we believe has originated from rustic and barn style weddings. A similar trend at the moment, is decorating the cake so that each tier looks like tree trunk stumps. This then brings us back to rustic Wedding themes that seem to be very popular in most areas, not just cakes.
