Naked Cakes: In or Out?

Are naked cakes a trend you want to see continued in 2019? Are they in or out?

    Out for me, only because there's less you can do with them decorating-wise. Totally just a personal preference though.

    Do you have an idea of how you're going to be decorating your cake, Alicia? Or rather how you want your cake decorated?

    We're doing cupcakes for our guests and just a small cake for us to cut. My mom is making that cake, it's something she's done for every family wedding, and it's a really personal thing for her. I gave her free reign to do whatever she wants with it!

    I don’t like them at all - just looks so unfinished to me.
    I don’t like icing so I see the appeal, but visually I can’t get on board.

    In! I hate the traditional frosting on cakes and sometimes they use way too much. Naked cakes I feel like give me the perfect balance!

    Out. Semi naked is so much better.

    In, unique to me and I'm sure healthier from way less frosting! Can again be rustic, romantic, chic, etc! Very transitional

    Ooh, the health benefit. Hadn't thought of that aspect, Amanda!! Are you going to have a naked or semi-naked cake?
