Less is more, and apparently, that applies to wedding cakes too.  I’m a sucker for a classic frosted wedding cakes, but there’s something so fun about these naked wedding cakes! These unfrosted beauties come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. Beautiful topped with lush flowers and delectable filled with fruit, although they reject tradition, they are irresistibly adorable.
Naked cakes — the trendy cakes that are mostly unfrosted — are great for warmer outdoor weddings and add a simple, elegant style to any sweet spread. By layering the cake and using a minimal amount of frosting, mainly to stick layers together or add a decorative touch, these wedding desserts offer a light sweetness in each bite. If you think that less icing means your cake will lack flair, then add fruity or flowery touches to accent the frosting and flavor. Check out these naked cakes below for inspiration!
What is a naked wedding cake?

What is a semi-naked wedding cake?
A semi-naked cake is a type of naked cake that is covered with a thin layer of buttercream or ganache. Semi-naked cakes are a popular choice for weddings as they provide a rustic and elegant look. The thin layer of frosting ensures that there are always bits of the cake that are showing, providing a visually stunning effect.
How to Decorate a Naked Cake?
To decorate a naked cake, you can use a variety of techniques and ingredients to add interest and color to the cake. Here are some ideas:
- Use fresh fruit to add color and flavor to the cake. Berries, grapes, figs, and citrus fruits all work well on naked cakes.
- Add flowers to the cake for a romantic and elegant touch. Choose edible flowers that have been grown organically and are free from pesticides.
- Use herbs like rosemary or mint to add texture and a fresh, green color to the cake.
- Drizzle the cake with a flavored syrup, like a berry or citrus syrup, to add moisture and flavor.
- Add a layer of frosting or whipped cream between the cake layers for added moisture and flavor.
- Use decorative elements like sprinkles, edible glitter, or chocolate shavings to add a touch of sparkle and shine to the cake.
Overall, the key to decorating a naked cake is to keep it simple and let the natural beauty of the cake shine through. Choose ingredients and decorations that complement the flavors of the cake and the overall theme of your event.
