Naked Cake With Different Flavors
Decorating By sarahope Updated 27 May 2018 , 4:47pm by SandraSmiley
Hey everyone!
I have a bride asking for a naked cake for her wedding, but would like 3 different flavors for each of the 3 tiers. Chocolate, marble and red velvet.
Have any of you made a naked cake with different flavors? Did it look okay having different colored layers?
If you have pictures that would be great! Thank you!
I have seen cakes like this -- different flavors in a naked cake -- and of course have baked a jillion cakes and know what all the edges look like -- i think this is a terrible idea -- naked cakes can look pretty cool -- most don't to me -- they look like poo -- but i am a huge non-fan of changing the flavors hence the colors of the edges like this --
even if a cake is naked -- it needs some décor like thoughout the edges of the filling or something to make it cohesive -- especially if the colors are gonna be all redbrownyellowblapoo --
just my personal opinion
and i think both of those look great -- the cakes are not chibbled out of the pans -- they have a minimal but lovely decor -- the caramel brings it all together on the dark and light one -- on the other one -- the dominant dark chocolate color is on the bottom -- to me that looks more balanced -- the fruit is just enough to give your eyes some nice color to rest on -- really nice work --
those are both really cool --
(but we've all seen some ringers)
plus on the second one -- you can't discount that white washed cake stand -- it mimics the icing -- it's really beautiful
I think they are gorgeous with the different color layers!
We have rotates Red Velvet and Chocolate layers (4 layers) and done the top tier champagne. I think they look better with the darker layers on bottom and thin icing on all layers. I think it is a preference.
A lot of times I find those whom ask for "naked" cakes are icing haters! Maybe if you feel it wont look right ask if that is the issue. If so change the icing to a less sweeter option. This may not even be the case. I am just throwing it out there for ya!
I think when the cake layers stick to the pan and you have spots all over is what I was crabbing about earlier
Personally, I am a huge fan of the near-naked cake, both for the look and for the amount of frosting, You are right -K8memphis. For a true naked cake, the sides must be absolute perfect or it looks tacky. To me, they are not as pretty when they have no icing.
