Naked Cakes - Raleigh, NC.

There are so many options to explore when it comes to naked wedding cakes. Not only does the garnish shine but so do the layers, which are normally hidden under frosting. Using berries is a great way to add a pop of color. In this cake, the baker incorporated blackberries into the layers, as well as the garnish. Chocolate cake layers with flavored buttercream show tiny peeks of blackberries nestled in between. The top tier of the cake is slimmer and the tops of each tier are covered in blackberries, blueberries and figs  perfect for fall!

Some Raleigh cake artists choose to leave the frosting of their naked cakes natural and untouched. But cleanly frosting the layers can produce a seamless, polished look. This three-tier cake has white frosting between the layers and each tier is dusted with powdered sugar. It's embellished with natural greenery and white flowers.
