Naked cakes are another hot trend making their way around the world of bridal inspo. They skip all the fondant bells and whistles and show off what the cake is really made of—spongy tiers and deliciously gooey centres. Often adorned instead with flowers or fresh fruit, this style is a stunner for rustic-themed weddings.
