Naked cakes can be a divisive subject depending on your icing preferences! Do you love the barely iced look, or are you ready to see this trend go away?

What's your vote on the naked cake trend? Is it in or out?

Out for me, fondant looks way more elegant to me. Plus my FH loves icing and would probably be offended by a naked cake haha

I love naked cakes, I think they look pretty elegant actually. Plus, probably a lot cheaper!

It depends on the vibe of the wedding.
I would say they're still in, but waning.

I feel like as much as I want this trend to die, they’re still in.

As an icing person, I'm pretty biased!
But I do think naked cakes look gorgeous in pictures!

I prefer icing or fondant on cakes so I’m going to say out. I’m just not a fan of the look.

In for me. I was seriously considering one but FH wants his icing - buttercream though, never fondant!

Out! It looks like someone forgot to finish the cake, or ran out of icing

Out just because I feel like the cake would get kinda dry! I love the look, it's a nice change to the crazy ridiculous cakes you often see.

Out! They look like somebody tried to ice a cake, then failed, and then scraped off the majority of icing and called it a day.

In. I think it depends on the couple. If they don't like icing, I don't see why not.
I personally don't like the look of them/prefer semi-naked cakes.

I'm not a fan! I love icing (buttercream over fondant though) too much to minimize it!
