Naked Wedding Cakes

Naked Wedding Cake Four Tier Stacked Design

Naked Wedding Cakes

Over the last few years, we at Jenny’s Cakes have made a lots of ‘Naked’ Wedding Cakes, designed to fit in with more relaxed rustic wedding themes.

Naked Wedding Cakes are typically stacked together, and usually decorated with seasonal berries such as strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, redcurrant bunches, kiwi fruit or even FIGS on occasion!

Sometimes, food-safe flowers or artificial flowers are also used- this is a great way to incorporate details from the bride’s bouquet, but please bear in mind Food Safety- some flowers are not safe for contact with food!

Naked Cakes are perfect if you do not like the more traditional wedding cakes (which are typically coated in sugar-paste.)

 However, as your cake is not coated, we carefully schedule the delivery and set your cake up at your venue in the afternoon of your wedding, to minimise the risk of your cake drying out too much! 

A semi-naked wedding cake is another great option, with a thin coating of butter-cream allowing the base sponge layers to show through. 

You can incorporate hessian ribbons and even raffia trim into the cake decor, to complement your table centre-pieces and chair covers, so that the cake echoes the overall look of the wedding and provides an appropriate centre-piece for the all-important cutting the cake photos!

In this post we show some recent naked wedding cake photos, and also semi-naked wedding cake examples, to show you a few ideas of cakes to complement a country style wedding. 

Sizes, number of tiers and cake decoration details can all be adjusted to suit individual tastes and differing scales of wedding, from small intimate family groups, up to larger marquee wedding parties. We can supply singe tier cakes all the way up to Five Tier Show-Stoppers!!

Four tier Semi Naked Wedding Cake

A recent trend in rustic or country style wedding cakes is the ‘semi-naked’ wedding cake– Above is a photo of a four tier stacked semi-naked cake, displayed on a tree trunk slice. (Wedding Cake shown dressed with fresh flowers, all organic and food-safe- fresh blooms provided by Pyrus Botanicals. )

(This beautiful semi-naked cake is shown at Crossbasket Castle.)

Naked Wedding Cake on Tall Stand

There are options available in choosing how to display your wedding cake. The cake above (gluten-free victoria sponge as it happens!) is arranged in separate tiers, on a tall metal cake stand. This gives your cake more height, and also gives the opportunity to add more decoration on the top of each of the tiers. In this cake, we have used piles of seasonal berries and some sprigs of gypsophilia. 

(This beautiful three tier naked cake is shown at One Devonshire Gardens in Glasgow.)

Rustic Wedding Cakes

Over the last few years, we at Jenny’s Cakes have made a lots of  Rustic Wedding Cakes, designed to fit in with more relaxed rustic wedding themes.

Our Rustic Wedding Cakes are usually stacked together, typically decorated with a butter-cream finish. 

Sometimes, food-safe flowers or artificial flowers are also used- this is a great way to incorporate details from the bride’s bouquet. Fresh flowers can also be used as a cake topper. These are provided by your florist, and we can advise you or your florist about the best sizes of floral cake topper to use.

You can specify your preferred choice of ribbon- we can offer you lots of different types of ribbons (such as hessian ribbons) , satin or lace ribbons or even raffia trim into the cake decoration. 

The idea of a rustic wedding cake is to complement the room or venue decor, for example your table centre-pieces, table runners  and chair covers, so that the cake echoes the overall look of the wedding and provides an appropriate centre-piece for the all-important cutting the cake photos!

In this post we show some recent rustic wedding cake photos. We offer single tier cakes for smaller rustic weddings, up to four or even five tier cakes. 

Sizes, number of tiers and details can all be adjusted to suit individual tastes and differing scales of wedding, from small intimate family groups, up to larger marquee wedding parties. 

We have more examples of Naked Wedding Cakes here.

This wedding cake shows use of ridged butter-cream tiers with a naked cake top tier and custom cake topper (provided by the bride and groom) dressed with seasonal berries and silk roses, finished with a dusting of icing sugar!

Rustic Wedding Cake With Ridged Icing Finish

We had a number of very hot spells of weather in Scotland this summer, and several of our brides wanted a butter-cream finish but were concerned about the possible problems of the butter-cream decoration melting.  The four tier cake shown below is a new idea from Jenny’s Cakes! It looks like a butter-cream finish, but is actually a specially formulated Royal Icing decor, so will not soften and smudge in the (unlikely) event of a Scottish summer heatwave!

This rustic wedding cake  design has the country style appearance, but will withstand 30 degrees plus! This example is decorated with rings of fresh gypsophilia and a ‘gyp’ cake topper.
