DIY wedding dessert table<\/a>. Well today I am back to share just how I made the statement DIY naked wedding cake creation. Layers of sponge, lashings of buttercream, sprinkled with icing sugar and with berries on top. Yum!<\/p>\nThe humble naked cake isn’t going anywhere by all accounts and I can see why, it has rustic charm with the focus on taste and flavour. This cake is a single tier cake, with four layers of sponge. To create a taller version, simply make more tiers, either of the same size, or for stability with tiers gradually getting smaller the higher you go! The sky really is the limit folks.<\/p>\n
Naked Wedding Cake Recipe<\/h2>\n
First up, you need to nail down a recipe for your cake. Now, I have had highs and lows with gluten free baking, so I kept to a simple and plain Victoria sponge with vanilla buttercream filling.<\/p>\n
On the gluten free note, have a think if you need to cater for any dietary requirements and chat to your guest about their specific needs if you’d like a cake for them to enjoy too. I do urge you to think about different flavours though, I have seen and heard of so many different flavours and different colour sponges can also look really effective. Or why not go bold and use food colouring for a rainbow or colourful sponge?<\/p>\n
You will also want to consider just when to make your naked wedding cake. As it isn’t iced in fondant or buttercream, it may dry out quicker. So be sure to bake as near to the wedding as possible to keep your wedding cake lovely and fresh.<\/p>\n
There are also recipes where you can freeze your sponge ahead, so you can defrost and decorate nearer the time as an alternative. This cake was simple, but it did take a fair amount of time and love, so be sure to dedicate a good amount of time to create and be sure to do a trial run too! I am sure you will have plenty of taste testers to give you a hand!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
