Naked cakes are a current obsession of mine. They look so fresh and can fit in with the California chic vibe that you may be going for, while also proving that buttercream and fondant aren’t always necessary when cutting the cake. I have pulled together some of my favorite looks to share with you all.

Whether you decide on chocolate or vanilla, every naked cake needs elements to make it pop. Try placing a fun and personal cake topper or include greenery to add more style.

Adding fresh flowers as an alternative to sugar flowers and other fondant decoratives will not only set it apart from your run-of-the-mill wedding cake, but also taste delicious!

Or use a detailed cake stand to elevate the look.

Incorporating a naked cake into your big day will transform the traditional wedding cake into a simplified yet bold treat for you and your guests. I’m a firm believer you can have your cake and eat it too. Enjoy!

 Will you be opting for a naked cake at your wedding?
