Naked Cake Glory

And speaking of food, have you noticed that naked cakes are one of those trends that are totally unstoppable and incredibly irresistible?

Just last week I found out that two of our friends are planning a naked wedding cake and we recently went on a birthday party where we were served the most delicious fruity nude slice ever!

So in the spirit of summer celebrations, here are 10 un-frosted cakes that are not only perfect for a wedding, but also a birthday celebration or your everyday sweet tooth indulgence – starting with the above, brown butter pumpkin cake with whipped cream cheese and honey...

Southern strawberry cake...

Spiced clementine and ricotta cake...

Citrus chiffon cake...

Hummingbird-ish cake...

Milk bar cake...

Red velvet cake with crème fraîche frosting...

Mess cake...

Carrot cake...

Matcha layer cake with black sesame cream cheese...

Which one tickles your fancy?
