The Naked Cake
There is a growing trend recently for this simple yet sophisticated cake style.

There are several ways to make naked cakes: simply by stacking cream and sponge cake, or by putting a light layer of cream around the cake, called “crumb coat” (to hide some imperfections precisely). The advantage of a naked cake is that it is easy to make and the rendering is always very pretty! Do not hesitate to make accumulations of fruits and flowers on top and all around.
Fresh flowers
If you adore the scent of fresh flowers, then why not try this decor type. According to Sucre the real naked cake reveals defects, and so for decoration, often uses real flowers in harmony with its bouquet or decoration. Flowers such as; Roses, peonies, dahlia and hydrangeas are commonly used to create the finishing touches. Rustic and rural are two themes particularly suitable for decorating a naked cake. A beautiful wooden topper on top for a bohemian theme will also be a perfect finish for your cake.
