You may remember back in April, we teamed up with Hobbycraft to create an amazing DIY wedding dessert table. 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! The 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.
