Partially Iced and Naked Cakes

What these cakes lack in icing, they sure make up for in flowers! A beautiful wedding cake doesn’t have to mean layers of frosting or fondant. Especially for forest, rustic, and whimsical weddings, a naked or partially-iced cake fits the nontraditional atmosphere while fresh flowers add a natural flair!

White on White

Nothing says wedding cake like tiers of white icing! For your classic celebration, add a layer of elegant visual interest to your traditional cake with a few gorgeous white blooms. Ask your florist for their favorite flowers in white and watch your cake go from so-so to sophisticated!
