I asked Patricia Egan from the Ivory Cake Company about the trend for naked and semi-naked wedding cakes... “Semi-naked cakes, as opposed to naked, seem to be the most popular; sponge cakes with a choice of filling lightly coated in either buttercream or sometimes white chocolate ganache, before being decorated with fresh flowers or fruit – or both! Naked cakes are similar, however, don't have the final coat of buttercream or ganache.”
