Semi naked cakes are still highly sort after as they are the first thing that comes to mind when your after a rustic look or theme. They are timeless, minimalist and elegant. Very easy to compliment any colour theme with The additions of flowers, and they are more cost effective than the fondant covered counterparts. Subtle elegance with nothing to prove/ natural beauty, and absolutely timeless makes them a great choice.

Hi,

Yes semi naked cakes are still a very popular choice. 

Decorated with fresh flowers they can match your decoration styling.

A popular flavour choice is a light vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream.

Absolutely! The rise in popularity of lambeth-style full buttercream cakes in the last few years has definitely changed the cake landscape a bit, but I would estimate that around 50% of my wedding clients are still asking for, or interested in, seminaked cakes. It is really a timeless look - sharp clean edges but organic and not too stuffy/formal looking due to the cake peeping through. Ultimately - choose what you like best, not what you think is popular, and you won't regret it :)

Semi-naked cakes are definitely still popular — they’re such a timeless, elegant style and work beautifully for so many wedding themes. If you love that slightly rustic, natural look, they’re a perfect choice!

Not as popular as they were a few years ago.  But,  I still get asked for semi naked.  I think they have a timeless elegance about them.
