Are naked wedding cakes the next big trend?

Tomado de www.americancakedecorating.com

One of the cake trends emerging in 2013 is 'naked' cakes – cakes stacked with filling but not frosted or covered in any way. The layers are visible and anything else that's added is placed directly on the cake.

These naked cakes are turning up at all kinds of events - from weddings and showers to corporate events. The key is to not let the cake sit out for too long, lest the edges dry out...

Understated and natural, these cakes seem to convey a 'rustic' character – a feeling of comfort and home. Often adorned with assorted fruits and flowers these cakes are definitely on the rise.

So what does this mean for cake decorators? Perhaps more of a focus on ingredients and flavors than adornment. And while the natural trend may be gaining popularity, there will always be a place for traditional, lavish wedding cakes.
