Au Natural Cakes

For the past few weeks while looking for some new cake ideas, I've seen pictures of cakes without icing on the outsides. I wondered why people would post pictures of half finished cakes.

Last Thursday, I came across an article, "Trend Alert: 'Naked Cakes' have nothing to hide" in the Toronto Star. Halfway through the article, I realized the cakes that I've been seeing on-line were the same cakes that were being described in the article.

Naked Cakes are cakes with bare sides. They have become the newest wedding trend since 2013. Many are garnished with fresh fruit or fresh flowers. 


Well...I've officially hopped on the bandwagon. Simply Delicious will now be offering Naked Cakes. I decided to change the name though. Naked Cakes sounds so... plain Jane. The new and improved name is 'Au Natural Cakes'.

I made my first Au Natural Cake today. Coconut Cake with Raspberry Butter Cream icing garnished with fresh raspberries.

Au Natural Cakes are not just for weddings. They can be a part of every special occasion: Birthdays, Anniversaries, Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, Graduations...well, you get the picture.

The benefits of ordering an Au Natural Cake is that they're more cost effective (and less work for us Cake Decorators!) and perfect for those that don't like their cake drenched in icing.


What are your thoughts on the newest cake trend?
