Whats a Naked Cake and why it is Naked?
Well, as the name itself signifies, Naked Cakes are the Cakes, which are Complety Naked from Outside … i.e no frosting swirls or colorful piped patterns – Yep!! you heard it right :). Naked Cakes are easily recognized by their absent or minimal outer layer of frosting, which shows off the cake’s natural texture and filling. Credit for the naked cake trend seems to go to Christina Tosi, the chef, owner and founder of Milk Bar, the bakery-inspired dessert branch of the Momofuku restaurant group. Tosi says that leaving the frosting off the sides of the cake allows the cakes and filling flavors to shine through.
But there are many more reasons to make your next cake a naked one. Let’s check them out :-
