We’re used to seeing heavily-iced fruit cakes at weddings, but let’s face it, too much icing can be sickly.

And who really likes fruit cake, anyway?

We’ve fallen in love with naked cakes, which are rustic-looking cakes making a name for themselves on Instagram and Pinterest.

Naked cakes are cakes with a minimal outer layer of frosting, which allows the cake’s texture and filling to peek through.

We’ve selected a few naked wedding cakes that we think look beautiful – and they might just inspire any soon-to-be brides or grooms to have one made for themselves.

This cake, by Apple Tree Cake Design, only has frosting in the middle – with a sprinkle of icing sugar

Isn’t this beautiful? (Picture: Apple Tree Cake Design)

 

We love this cake by Sweet Daisy May, which is minimalistic yet features dripping icing and flowers
