As we settle in for a sweet discussion, grab your favorite beverage and an imaginary fork (for the sake of indulging in cake fantasies) because our expert contributor Jaclyn from Ivory & Rose Cake Company is ready to dish out the latest scoop on wedding cake trends.
If you’ve missed any of Jaclyn’s previous explorations into the world of wedding cakes, fear not – a comprehensive archive can be found here. Her last post took us on a journey through the realm of stunning metallic wedding cakes. This time around, she’s shedding light on the daring new trend that’s taken the wedding scene by storm: naked cakes.
Naked Wedding Cakes
While we typically wouldn’t suggest stripping away the sweet allure of icing from cakes, these stunning fruit and floral creations are an exception worth making. The unadorned cake takes on a charming rustic quality, making it an ideal choice for a summer wedding. As Jaclyn notes, ‘The naked cake has such a rustic charm.’ It’s perfect for showcasing fresh flowers and fruit that add to the cake’s natural beauty. Of course, some couples might worry about the cake drying out during the day, but with the right designer, that concern can be easily alleviated. In fact, Jaclyn assures us that ‘not a dry crumb in sight’ if you choose a skilled baker.
